This one is a short post. Rare for me, I know.

Went to buy THIS (https://www.duluthpack.com/professional-camera-bag-tripod-bag.html) and they have 0 of any color in stock.
Any idea of someone else making anything similar to the Duluth option? Even if it isn't necessarily made for tripods?
Prefer canvas/cotton that I could wax to go with my other waxed cotton gear...at this point though I don't care.

I also looked at RRS bag (http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/More/Bags-Pouches/Tripod-Bags) and these look very nice.
But they take up space and I would like something just to sleeve the tripod and put on top of my duffle or side of my pack.
Plus I may eventually get a smaller travel tripod and with a sleeve (like from Duluth) I could use it for smaller tripods or bigger or whatever. I never intend to check the tripod during travel...if I do then I would for sure invest in something nice and padded.

I leave in about 8 days...so not much time to order something.

And this is my tripod (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/999189-REG/flm_32_26_905_cp26_l3s_carbon_fiber_tripod.html). Thanks in advance!

Where do you see the stock info on the duluth website? I was able to add one (the Great Lakes color which they say they have, other colors are custom made) to the cart but of course didn't complete the purchase. I have two bags I use but they're the ones that came with the tripods (Gitzo and Ries).

Sorry, forgot to mention, I called them yesterday and I was informed there was none in stock.
Minimum of 6 weeks for any color.

Whenever you do want to get a padded bag for airport travel, let me know; I have one for your tripod.

Jonathan,

I found out that a bag that holds one of those cheap folding chairs works well. I bought one of those cheap camping chairs and it broke. Found out it holds my Gitzo perfectly. It is not padded, but it works well as a tripod bag.
