As a landscape photographer and wildlife photographer my tripod is an essential part of my gear. I take it almost everywhere and it is used in a wide range of environments. Some of these, especially the coast, can be harmful for a tripod in terms of its overall condition and functionality.
To get “the shot” sometimes it is necessary to have my tripod legs deep in sand or the sea and my tripod is not too fond of either of these situations! This is where the Tripod Leg Covers by Kase are very useful and form a protective barrier between my tripod and the elements.
Testing the Kase Tripod Leg Covers in my YouTube video (see below).
The leg covers are waterproof and wear proof. They are easy to slide onto your tripod legs and are held securely by some drawstrings at their opening. The base of the covers (which contact the ground) are made of thicker material than the rest of the covers which is a sensible decision to increase durability and wear resistance.

I recently tested these covers at the coast and they helped me capture the photograph above. All three of my tripod legs were deep in the sea protected by the leg covers. After capturing my photograph I wasted no time in removing the covers to check the condition of my tripod… I was delighted to find that no seawater and no sand had made their way through - my tripod was clean and dry!
