Apertura Universal Tripod Case

Keep your telescope tripod or camera tripod clean as well as bug- and scratch-free by storing it in this heavy-duty tripod case from Apertura! The Apertura Universal Tripod Case is easier to carry than hauling around a tripod on its own. Just unzip the top (the end with the Apertura "A" on it) and slide your tripod in feet first. If you need extra length, you can unzip the top OR bottom extension to reveal several extra inches of storage space! The tripod carry case comes with both a sturdy handle and a shoulder strap.

The Apertura Universal Tripod Case will hold the NexStar 8SE or 6SE tripod beautifully, but will also hold a wide range of tripods from various manufacturers, which is why it is called a Universal Tripod Case.  Tripods that will fit in this case include the Celestron CGX, Celestron CGEMII, Celestron Advanced VX, Meade 8"-12" LX200, Meade LX90, Meade LX85, and Meade LX65 tripod, as well as similarly sized tripods from Sky-Watcher, Orion and iOptron.  Bigger tripods, like the one from the CGX-L or the Meade Giant Field Tripod, will not fit in this case.

The super-beefy industrial zippers will keep everything closed up tightly during storage or transport. The Cordura-like fabric is tightly woven, and although it is not waterproof, the Apertura case will resist water and fine dust. The two straps are thoughtfully places to help balance the load.

Dimensions without unzipping the extensions:  28" x 9"

Extended dimensions:  38" x 9"

Amelia ★★★★★

After hauling my heavy tripod around for years, this case finally gives it proper protection. The heavy-duty material feels like it will last through many more observing sessions.

Violet ★★★★★

The zipper is sturdy and glides smoothly even when the case is packed tight with my heaviest tripod. It fits my gear perfectly and keeps everything scratch-free during transport.

Victoria E. ★★★★☆

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the heavy-duty material resists scratches and dust, though it’s a bit bulkier than I expected for my compact camera tripod. The zipper feels sturdy, and my gear stays clean and bug-free after storage.
