Using this Peak Design travel tripod bag is a piece of cake. Just unzip the weatherproof zipper, place your travel tripod inside the ultra - light padded shell, and zip it up. When you want to carry it, you can either use the grab handles or attach your Peak Design strap or external carry straps to the loops. As for maintenance, try to keep it dry. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could tear the bag. When not in use, store it in a cool and dry place.
