    Question Tripod changing tent

    I discovered this the other day:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    It's a changing bag/tent that hangs under your tripod, seems like a good idea!
    Anyone got one, have any experience to share before I take the plunge?
    Thanks

    This sounds interesting, I usually change tripods in the dark room.

    Interesting idea. With a few velcro tabs you could easily do this with a Harrison film
    tent too. Keeps things off the ground.

    Re: Tripod changing tent

    I have a Harrison Tent which I sit on a table to change film.

    The thought of doing it on the floor, on my hands and knees does not appeal at all.

    It’s hard enough when things go wrong when you are sat down, but being bent double on the floor would make everything much worse.

    I am not too sure how my better half would take to me putting a tripod on the table to change films


    Initially, I toyed with the idea of taking the Changing Tent with me in the car, if I ever needed to reload the Darkslides during the day - but the cleanliness required to change Film in Darkslides put me off trying it.

    If you do go ahead, I will be interested to know how you get on with it.

    You must be much younger than I am, to even consider this. The thought of getting down on my knees to change film, just gives me the willies.
    Go buy some film, and release the magic.

    Don't the changing bags/tents have some inner construction to keep it upright? If not, it would seem that to make such a construction would be much easier than hanging the bag/tent on a tripod and "pray" on your knees in front of it. Don't know...

    I have a changing bag by Roger Luo, and it certainly is the best among mine. The quality of this one should be high. Loading film underneath my tripod is not exactly my definition of comfort, though - nor do I own a ULF system with triangular film and holders...

    Re: Tripod changing tent

    Maybe you could set up the tripod on a table...

    Well, makes more sense. But it would need a big table or small tripod.
