Proof you can design and launch your own photography gear without going the Kickstarter route! Photographer Justinsmnz on the photography-on-the.net forum writes:
“I’ve wanted to find something like this for a while now, but could never find an existing product that worked to keep water and dirt out of my tripod leg locks when I shoot in dirty or wet conditions… Finally, I decide to reach out to some factories on my own to see if I could solve it for myself. To make a long story short, I now have more tripod sleeves than I know what to do with… because, as you might expect, they don’t really make this sort of thing one or two sleeves at a time.”
His tripod sleeves look quite durable and effective at keeping your tripod leg locks dry and clean, and have great reviews. Best of all they’re available for a very reasonable $16.99 via Amazon with free shipping. Use coupon “POTN15OFF” to discount down to $14.44. It’s great to see grassroots photography products!
