Anyone using a manfrotto strap on their tripod? Is it comfy to walk around with? I have the 190xprob, and would like to maybe buy one.

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info Post edited over 5 years ago by Wilt. (3 edits in all) | Apr 08, 2015 11:44 | #4 I used to have one on my Bogen 3221 which I sold years ago. Here is a photo of it  and a photo of the top attachment point for the strap on Manfrotto/Bogen tripods  I still have one on my Bogen 3236 which I have for my large format monorail camera. A strap need not slow you down...I didn't feel it slowed me down with my 3221. I think some folks make that comment because some users put the lower loop around all three legs to hold them closed; I put the loop only around a single leg (as shown in the first photo) and I never had a problem of legs spreading while on my shoulder. I like shoulder straps on tripods so much that I bought a OpTech Super Classic binocular-end strap which I can use with my Gitzo tripod.  You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
