from Direct from Kinesis Summary: I was in need of a good, sturdy tripod bag for my Bogen 3021BPro tripod (w/ 3410 head). I looked at numerous products, but didn''t like the quality. A friend recommended Kinesis. I went to their website and found the T720 bag ($56), which was the size I was looking for. I called the company and spoke to Richard Stum, the owner. He gladly took my order and sent it out immediately via UPS.
It arrived, as promised two days later. I was amazed at the quality, construction and attention to detail. YKK heavy duty self healing zippers, double stiching, and outside storage pocket and most importantly, two external compression straps to keep the interior load stable.
I also ordered the Y515 heavy duty padded shoulder strap ($13). Constructed with the same attention to detail as the tripod bag. The strap is cut on a curve so it fits better when I carry the bag across my back.
Other bag and accessory manufactures should take a close look at how Kinesis does business, they are a model of excellent craftsmanship and customer service, two areas that are severly lacking in todays mass produced, assembly line world.
If this bag is any indication of the rest of the Kinesis line, they have me as a customer for life. Strengths: Quality, value, superb materials and exacting attention to detail.
Each piece is produced in his shop in Mt. Pleasant, Utah by hand. Inside the bag is a tag with the seamstres'' initials. Weaknesses: None. Similar Products Used: Domke. Customer Service: First rate. Each time I called or
e-mailed, the owner of the company would respond.
