Tripod Straps

[DSussman]

I asked this one a while ago but thought I'd try again for some more info. Pick-Up Stix/Creative Controls tripod straps are no longer made. Has anyone out there found a good alternative? I know Kenisis has one. Speed and ease of use are high on my list of concerns.

I'd like to get a product designed for the tripod use rather than retrofitting a shotgun/rifle strap.

Thanks,

I would imagine a lot depends on the model of tripod. I use a shotgun strap on my Gitzo Mountaineer and it seems to work fine, but if I were using something with multiple thin poles then my strap would be less than ideal.

Could you please specify what tripod you're looking to fit?

Thanks for the help. The tripods we use are Sachtlers with medium/heavy duty legs (not the big ones used by production crews). They are similar to the Cartoni light/medium duty legs.

Thanks again,
David

I've found that a Porta Brace medium duty suede one works nicely for a HotPod. Although, they're nasty when they get wet.
