Obviously the person that designed or made this thing has not used it in the field. I found it not quite adequate. The carry strap could be a bit longer. More thought needs to be put into how the straps attach to the tripod; the bottom strap will slide up on the leg. The straps can be pulled tight but at the risk of damage to the tri-pod. Back to the drawing board guys! Put some soft, non skid, material on the part of the strap attaches to the tripod.
