I nearly bought the Manfrotto strap Donald, but I saw an Optech in my favourite Cambridge camera shop (Campkins - it isn't cheap though!) and bought that. It has the plastic locking fasteners to make a ring at each end which goes wherever you want it to on the tripod. Carrying the tripod is still a chore as it is heavy and the 141RC head is heavier than the other end... so, I bought a Midi ball head last week and that makes it much more manageable. A major plus with the ball head is that it has no levers sticking out so far... and it is lighter, and it is easier to manipulate etc...

When I bought my 055NAT2 (3221GN) tripod it included a wide strap, to fit on
the little ring on the 'pod. I've tried it several ways and at quite a few
lengths, but it seems a singularly useless item to me.

Any comments?

Donald.
