Flashpoint Tripod Leg Wraps

Many birders appreciate having leg wraps on their tripods. Leg wraps may be one of those accessories that you don’t appreciate until after you’ve used them; then you appreciate what valuable additions they are when using your tripod for bird photography or when birding with your spotting scope. Leg wraps pad your tripod, keeping metal legs warmer during chilling weather, and softening the load when you’re carrying your tripod on your shoulder as we often find ourselves doing. Leg wraps also protect your tripod legs – and they are very economical to add and easy to install. No-brainer, right?
Tripod leg wraps fit over the upper section of each tripod leg. Most tripod leg wraps are black, but some come in camouflage coloring. You can get universal foam wraps for 1½-inch tripod legs and 1¼-inch legs by Flashpoint, which are packaged as a set of three – perfect for a tripod.
