Backpack for transport scope in the tripod (1 Viewer)

Searching at internet I seen that there are some types of backpacks to carry the spotting scope mounted on the tripod (while its unfoulded).

One model allows that the tripod to be hung from the back of the case (Lowepro Scope Porter 200 AW).

Another type of model seems to be a suitcase that is attached to the tripod (Viking tripod carrier).

The first seems to be discontinued, and the second is only available on UK and in any case, i cant find any similar that ships to my country (Spain).

Do you know of any model that can carry the tripod unfolded with the spotting scope mounted?

Edit: i have been able to find in a store of my country a backpack called Scopac lite, anyone know about it?

"Scopac" was the first company to introduce the tripod carrier in the UK. This was followed by the Mulepack from Cleyspy and subsequently many other copies from various companies.
However, in my view, the Scopac Plus remains a very well produced product made in the UK and now offers a lightweight version together with a pouch type attachment for other items.
I have no association with any of these companies.

Yes. I find it useful primarily as it frees up your hands when birding / walking. They have been in use for about 15 years in the UK. There are many threads and comments here on BF if you search tripod carriers / backpacks.

An alternative is to get a backpack that will hold the scope and other items and has straps on the outside for attaching a tripod. With this approach you can use a better and taller and sturdier tripod.
