There is a ring on the side of my Manfrotto tripod where two of the legs come together. Apparently the strap clips into this one point so that as you carry it swings and bangs into you. Not very smart design. Two points to mount the strap would make more sense.

Hi Winsor,

You sure aren't much help! ;-) When I clip the strap into that ring and put the strap over my shoulder the tripod hangs in a vertical position and bangs my legs just like you said. If I mount a body with my 105mm macro to the ball head things balance a little better but it's still awkward to carry. I keep thinking there must be some genius in the design that's escaping me but I'm about to give up hope.

Later,
Johnny
