MrJangear Tripods

Tripods from MrJanGear – a stable base for wild subjects

Let’s be honest: What good is the best telephoto lens if your tripod wobbles like a camping chair in a storm? Exactly. The tripods from MrJanGear are the kind of gear you buy once and then carry around for years – willingly. Robust, well thought-out, not over the top. Simply made for the outdoors, for real trips, for long days in a hide.

Beanbag tripods in various sizes and versions

At the heart of the range are the beanbag tripods in various sizes and versions, which you can flexibly adapt to your way of shooting: small and compact for a quick walk on the edge of town, wider and more voluminous for heavy telephoto lenses in wild areas, plus versions with and without carrying handle, with flexible filling or a firmer setup – depending on whether you value ultra-light gear or maximum stability more.

These beanbag tripods mold themselves to car doors, windowsills, rocks, tree trunks, or simply the ground. No complicated setup, no fiddling with ten knobs – put it down, camera on top, done. And if you need to change position quickly, you just grab the whole setup and move on. It’s almost astonishing how relaxed telephotography can be when the tripod isn’t constantly in the way.

With camouflage pattern and robust materials – made for the real outdoors

Because MrJanGear is rooted in real-world use, the tripods are not only functional, but also cleverly camouflaged. Many models come with camouflage pattern that blends unobtrusively into reeds, forests, or lake shores. No bright colors, no “Hey, look at me!” design – more like: you disappear a bit into the landscape, and ideally your subjects won’t even notice you.

The robust materials are built for tough use: abrasion-resistant fabrics, solid seams, reinforced contact areas. In short: gear that can lie in the mud, get tossed around in the trunk, or stand in the rain without immediately taking offense. Maybe not indestructible – but pretty close. And if you’ve ever had an “outdoor tripod” that looked like an old towel after two trips, you’ll notice the difference.

Made in Europe – short routes, clear origin

An important point that often gets overlooked: The tripods from MrJanGear are Made in Europe. That means: transparent production, short supply chains, reliable quality. No anonymous mass product, but gear that someone has really thought through – from material selection to the last stitch. You can feel it when you hold the pieces in your hand: nothing flimsy, nothing half-baked.

Perfect for travel – light, flexible, uncomplicated

Especially if you’re on the road a lot, these tripods really show what they can do. They are perfect for travel because they:

• fold down flat and take up hardly any space in your backpack or trolley,
• don’t require you to lug around bulky tripod legs,
• and still provide enough stability for heavy telephoto lenses.

Whether you drive to the lake, take the train to the mountains, or fly to a bird sanctuary – a beanbag tripod will almost always fit in somewhere. And when things have to move fast, you don’t set anything up, you just lay it down. Sounds trivial, but in the field it makes a huge difference.

Not only known for Floating Hide, Swim Hide, and Lens Carrier

You might know MrJanGear mainly for the floating hide, the swim hide, or the Lens Carrier system for telephoto lenses. Totally understandable – in the nature photography scene those are almost something like insider standards by now. But the tripods are every bit as good.

They complement this gear perfectly: In the swim hide you need a stable yet flexible support for your camera, on the shore or in the hide you want to change height quickly, shoot from the car window without having to set up a classic tripod. That’s exactly where the beanbag tripods come into play – as a logical extension of the system, not just some random accessory.

For nature photography, wildlife, and telephoto lenses – but not only

Of course, the focus is on nature photography, wildlife, and long focal lengths. The tripods are made for telephoto lenses that ruthlessly expose any wobbly setup. But you can just as easily use them for landscapes, macro, or even video when you need a steady, low camera position. A beanbag on a rock or wall replaces a classic three-legged tripod in many situations – and is often quieter, more discreet, and quicker to position.

Why a MrJanGear tripod? In short:

If you’re looking for a tripod that:

• really stands up to outdoor use,
• scores with camouflage pattern and robust materials,
• is Made in Europe,
• and as a beanbag tripod in various sizes and versions fits your setup exactly,

…then you’re in the right place. Maybe not the loudest product on the market, but one of those that simply work. Trip after trip, shot after shot.
