Transporting a telescope to and from an observing site is one of the less enjoyable aspects of amateur astronomy. The tube, tripod, mount and accessories all need to be carried safely - ideally without risk of damage and without having to juggle four separate items at once. The Oklop bag solves this problem neatly: it is an all-in-one carrying bag designed to hold a complete telescope including the tripod, making transport easy, safe and comfortable in a single piece of luggage.

Thoughtful Design for Safe Transport

Oklop bags are not generic sacks into which a telescope is simply stuffed. They are designed and manufactured to match the dimensions of specific instruments precisely, ensuring safe transport in everyday and travel use alike.

Balanced carrying - the handles are positioned exactly at the centre of gravity of the fully loaded bag, so it does not tip sideways when carried by hand and does not put uneven strain on the wrist. Carrying on the shoulder is equally comfortable thanks to an adjustable shoulder strap.

The cylindrical shape follows the profile of the telescope tube and protects all its components. The instrument does not shift, sway or knock against the bag walls during transport - whether you are walking, travelling by car or using public transport.

The outer material is a glossy polyester that is pleasant to the touch and water-repellent at the same time. The bag protects the telescope against dew, light rain and moisture when set down on wet grass or ground.

The internal padding is made from foam rubber covered with a silky fabric that absorbs minor impacts and vibrations typical of everyday transport. The silky lining also prevents scratching of tube surfaces and optical components. The padding holds the bag's shape firmly so that the contents stay secured even without additional inserts - yet the bag remains surprisingly lightweight.

Quality Details for Long-Term Durability

Unlike cheap nylon covers, the Oklop bag is built with durable hardware as standard. The carabiners and rings are made from metal - they will not bend, break or slip out of their loops even with repeated use or heavier loads. The edges of the bag are bound with fabric tape all around, preventing fraying and unravelling of the material over time. The coil zipper opens and closes easily and quickly, even wearing gloves or in low-light conditions.

Internal Dimensions and Capacity

The internal dimensions of the bag are 100 x 34 x 25 cm. The bag is spacious enough to hold the telescope tube together with the disassembled tripod and mount in a single load, without having to separate the instrument into individual parts. This saves time when setting up and packing down at the observing site.
