Carrying Tripod

Do you use a bag, strap or what
Thanks Dale

I have a photo gear backpack that has a tripod/monopod "pouch" that I can use for a walk-around or biking, if that's the type of thing you are referring to.

I throw it over my shoulder.

for hauling in pickup or car & short walks I am to old for biking & walking to long

Lots of good bags out there, be it tripod bags or bags with straps/tripod holders. Check out the accessories section for some bags.

Fireman's carry with camera and lens attached.

Well, I do have a tripod bag with a strap, but my use of it has been more for something like luggage than active shooting, but I've probably done that a bit.

Once I'm out trekking and photographing (if I do have my tripod with me) then I'll sling the gear over my shoulder when I'm hiking from spot to spot and that works for me. I'll typically have a hand around the camera strap.

That also applies to my monopod shooting, which for me is more frequent than packing the tripod.

The SKB Trap X1 is great for tripods and light stands:

I use 2 12" long elastic lashing straps with Velcro ends and lash it down to the top of my domke j2. Works great for hauling it between locations and the straps double to hold a jacket down if I go indoors.

I use the Manfrotto "Long Strap" and carry my tripod on one shoulder or across my back with the strap going from one shoulder down to the opposite hip.

Skip is this the one you have from B&H
MSTRAP-1 Tripod Shoulder Strap

Thanks Dale

I make my wife carry it.

(yes, I'm being facetious, please don't let her see this post)

My RedSnapper came with a case with a comfy [elasticated] strap. The Flipside 300 has a tripod carrying facility but the tripod is too big & heavy for it really.
