Structure:
The hardshell up and down Cullmann has made a good compromise in my view, between stability and flexibility. The shells give a hand to the bag, the shape and form the "shelter" for the tripod, on the other hand they can still squeeze a little, either from the sides or from the respective pocket end. This dampens the shocks rather than a hard to block, on the other hand you can possibly gain valuable centimeters stowed away in the trunk.
The zipper has two slides, so you can set the aperture according to taste or application
Inside:
Inside is for my tripod more than enough space, so I both the ball head (MB4.3) may be on the tripod, and both can keep separated by the included cushion. In the latter case, the head is located in the upper shell.
Furthermore, can be found inside the side a small pocket in which, for example. The Allen key for the tripod leg and the tripod head can be accommodated.
Outside:
A similarly large (or rather small) side pocket, there is also the outside between the handles.
Smart: the padding on the back has up and down and side openings, so you can stow the handles and / or the padded shoulder strap behind depending on the application and nothing dangling unnecessary.
The outer material seems sturdy enough to put away even a walk through the undergrowth or along rubbing from a thick branch or rock loose.
Water protection:
Here I have made a request to the customer due to lack of information on the Cullmann website. Also even if the material feels unlike described as a water-repellent normal Pod Bag, so was "Protector Pod Bag from water-repellent nylon material".
Thus must it certainly times a drizzle or a Wasserfallgischt be without the water drawn into the interior.
