Any one figured out a good way to carry a tripod with a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Bag?

    Yes ... Optech/Tripod Strap!

    No seriously, its really comfortable and doesn't
    slip. It also makes it easier to convince fellow
    hikers to carry the tripod for you :D

    Carrying a tripod...
    Anyone got a strong opinion on this matter?
    Are tripods straps really required on medium sized shoulderbags? :-)
    I agree with using a tripod strap - helps to be able to move the weight around a bit IMHO...

    Yeah. I have a strong opinion :D

    If you're carrying a shoulder bag, it implies (to me at least) light and mobile.
    The last thing I want on my shoulder is more weight.

    If you must carry a tripod, hand carry it. You can switch hands, drape it over
    either shoulder or even use some tiewraps to attach a shoulder strap to the
    tripod.

    Ok. I'm better now :D
