The SitePro SiteMAX 21-B81520 tripod carrying bag is purpose-built for contractors, surveyors, and field crews who move precision equipment across rough terrain and congested job sites every day. Constructed from heavy-duty double-panel ballistic nylon with internal reinforcement stitching, this 50-inch bag absorbs the punishment of vehicle vibration, stairwell transport, and daily loading and unloading—without compromising the instruments inside.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
Protecting a quality tripod during transport is just as important as protecting the instrument mounted on it. Bent legs, damaged threads, and warped mounting hardware lead to costly recalibration and instrument downtime. The 21-B81520 provides a dedicated, padded transit solution for wood, aluminum, and fiberglass tripods used with laser levels, total stations, theodolites, and optical levels. The bag's waterproof base section isolates wet or muddy tripod legs from the interior compartment, preventing rust transfer and keeping your instrument contact points clean and corrosion-free. Whether you're moving between grade stakes on a foundation layout or transporting equipment from a survey truck to a high-rise floor, this bag keeps your tripod field-ready.

Job Applications
Construction Layout & Grade Work: Keep your survey tripod protected between layout shots on foundation, utilities, and site grading projects. The waterproof base handles wet grade stakes and muddy boots without cleanup delay.
Survey Crew Transport: Survey trucks and vans take a beating. The ballistic nylon shell and reinforced stitching absorb bed liner abrasion and tool box impacts that would crack a hard case or wear through a standard nylon bag in a single season.
High-Rise and Vertical Construction: Moving equipment up and down stairwells and through active work floors requires a bag that won't snag, tear, or transfer grime to finished surfaces. The durable exterior and clean interior lining meet that standard.
Storage and Long-Term Protection: Between projects, the 21-B81520 keeps tripods dust-free, humidity-protected at the base, and organized in a storage room, tool crib, or job trailer without taking up instrument case space.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What tripod sizes fit the SitePro 21-B81520?
- The 21-B81520 is 50 inches in length and is designed to fit most standard contractor and survey tripods, including wood, aluminum, and fiberglass models when legs are fully collapsed. Check your tripod's collapsed length before ordering to confirm fit.
- Is the entire bag waterproof or just the base?
- The waterproof construction is concentrated in the reinforced base section, which is the area most exposed to standing water, mud, and wet surfaces. The ballistic nylon body provides excellent water resistance but is not rated as fully submersible. The bag is designed for jobsite conditions, not immersion.
- Can this bag be used for transporting grade rods or range poles?
- The 21-B81520 is sized specifically for tripods. For grade rods and range poles, SitePro offers dedicated rod bags in appropriate lengths. Using the tripod bag for rods may result in a poor fit and reduced protection for both items.
- Does the shoulder strap detach for storage?
- Yes, the padded shoulder strap is removable via clip attachments at each end, allowing the bag to be stored flat or carried by the reinforced handles only when strap-free transport is preferred in tight spaces or vehicle cabs.
