Get the job done

I got this strap for my 055XB tripod with a 486RC2 head. It is well-made from the first glimpse. But I spent some time to figure out how to attach it to my tripod leg. The document wasn't helping a lot. When I get it on the tripod, everything worked. It's comfortable. The rubber dots on the padding held it in place on your shoulder. I walked around our campus one afternoon for over an hour to get some shots, and felt way better than last time when I was hiking on Mount Mitchell, holding the tripod in my hand. It took a little bit longer to set the tripod up compared to holding the tripod in hand, but hey, if you stumble on something, you won't crash your tripod against the ground! The only complaint I have so far is that my tripod/head combination is too long and the strap doesn't hold it high enough. I sometimes hit my camera on the tripod head while I am carrying the tripod on my back.

The perfect way to carry my tripod.

This product was easy to use. It allows me to carry my tripod "on my back" while I am hiking to get that "perfect" shot. I don't have to take if off the tripod to use it which is wonderful. Well constructed and comfortable. Worth the cost.

About Manfrotto 401N Quick Action Tripod Carry Strap

A quick and easy accessory for carrying your tripod when walking, hiking, cycling or just getting from shoot to shoot.

Use the shorter straps to fasten the padded 401N to one of the legs of your tripod, bind the remaining legs together using the longer adjustable quick release straps, sliding the tripod over your shoulder and you're ready to go, with your hands free to grab those vital last minute items.

The padding helps hold the tripod in place and protects your back from bruises and chaffing. The 401N even stays attached to your tripod when shooting (all you need to do is release the longer quick release straps so you can manoeuvre and position all three legs), so you're always ready to capture the images you want, but also always ready to move off again to the next location.

The materials used in the construction of the 401N are of higher quality than ever before, and the solutions adopted for attaching the tripod to the strap are more advanced, now you can move the velcro and buckle straps that hold the tripod legs and set thr distances to suit tripods of any size. The padding and ergonomics have also been improved considerably.
