LegPad

The LegPad is a shoulder pad used for carrying tripods while the legs are closed. The 1.25-inch-thick (3.175cm) shock-absorbing pad sits between your tripod and your shoulder and makes carrying it more comfortable. Made of a dense foam wrapped in a spongy soft neoprene shell, the LegPad is water resistant and easily attaches with Velcro-brand hook-and-loop fasteners, staying on your tripod even after you open the legs.
