Tripad TR-549 Portable Workspace for Tripods

Overall, a nice product. Its no replacement for a tether table from Tether Tools. However its good for its price. It held my 15 inch HP laptop fairly sturdy on a manfrotto 055XProB tripod. You do need to be careful when moving the tripod even slightly. If the legs compress inwards at all, this will begin to slip. However, I would still suggest this for someone looking to do some initial tethering. I may still get a tether table at some point, but they are so much more money. This does the job for me for now.

Since this handy item seems to have no competition, the price can be outrageous and is. It works and is handy, but is way overpriced. For $25, I would give it Five Stars, but at this price I can only give it three. For those wondering how it works, the piece that goes over the top of the tripod and settles down on the legs snaps into the shelf, which is large enough to hold a 17" laptop. My 12" notebook is kind of lost on it, but it gives me extra room for more items. It is solid, thick, and heavy plastic.

Works as advertised. Nice to have when your going to be using a tripod for a while in the same stationary spot. I can find no faults with this product.

Want Tripad TR-549 Portable Workspace for Tripods Discount?

I don't know why someone would say its not comparable to the Tether Tools table. I prefer the TriPad as it travels well, doesn't take up an extra tripod or light stand, is very secure, and has a cup holder..total win on the cup holder! I highly recommend it.

First off, let me say that the Tripad does what it claims, at least it did on the three video tripods I have. However:

The plastic that the Tripad is made of is brittle and easily brakes. Mine arrived with a semi-vital piece broke off. It more than likely was the result of the shipping company mishandling the box because it was poorly packed by Amazon. The parts that are susceptible to breaking can't be fixed with glue.

There is no easy way to transport the Tripad being that its two pieces. You must supply your own way to keep the two together, be it a padded bag "my suggestion since it brakes easy" or a bungie cord/clamp.

Being the only product of its kind on the market its no wonder that the Tripad costs so much. Some may say if it costs so much why did you buy it? At the time of purchase it was the only solution to my problem and I was willing to pay the price.

My suggestions to the manufacturer: 1) Use a strong plastic or improve the molding process. 2) Design it so that both pieces snap together in a way that protects the angled teeth during transport. 3) Provide the consumer a bag. 4) Set the price right.

Do these and your sales will be through the roof.
