tripod strap

just received a Bogen/Manfrotto 3021BPRO with 488RC2 head that i picked up on ebay. great price, but didnt come with a bag/strap. the tripod feels a bit heavier than anticipated so i need a good strap to use with it in order to carry it around. any good recommendations?

nvm, just put on my OEM canon camera strap, which will do for now

There are usually some very inexpensive straps on eBay such as this: http://cgi.ebay.com …ain_0&hash=item​4159cd2545

However, for years, I just used a length of 1" nylon webbing (avaialble in most facric stores) with a loop at each end. Works fine and would cost best to nothing.

Bogen/Manfrotto offers straps with 1/4-20 screw thread fittings which fit the hole in the casting of the main body. Available from standard vendors who sell Manfrotto goods. A really good alternative is to simply purchase a nice strap from OpTech which has limited stretch and 'binocular strap' ends, for tripods like Gitzo which do not have a 1/4-20 thread hole in the casting.
