[QUOTE="hark, post: 627247, member: 13196"] You might want to look into one of the camera straps that fastens directly to the tripod foot. You'd need to make sure it is screwed in snugly each time when using it to ensure it doesn't come loose. Some people have damaged a camera and/or lens because of this. Previously I was opposed to these straps UNTIL I tried one myself. I bought whichever BlackRapid stap is the ambidextrous one--although I'm right-handed, I carry my camera on my left. I LOVE this strap when I use my 300mm f/4 mounted with a teleconverter on the camera. It beats carrying the combo by hand. ;) By the way, my BlackRapid strap has some type of rubber disc that acts similar to a gasket when it is screwed into the tripod foot. It seems very secure, but I still check it each time I use it. [/QUOTE]
