Make a shoulder strap for your tripod

Step 4 Attach the strap

Then simply clip the strap onto the top and bottom split rings and hoist your newly strap-equipped tripod over your shoulder.

You should find that the tripod is quite usable with the strap still attached (presuming the strap is secured to the central post, not the foot of the tripod).

Hope somebody finds this useful :)

Cheap replacement for a tripod bag. that requires no work at all. Simple, common folding chairs that come in a bag. Once a chair breaks (happens to the cheap ones at least), just save the bag.

Chair does not even have to be broke, if you do not use the bag for the chair...

Excellent, Sir! I've been tired of lugging my tripod around, taking up a free hand. And I'm a college student without the nescesary funds to go out and purchase an official tripod bag. This Instructable was very simple, cheap, and effective! Thanks for posting this!

Very nice! Greatly appreciate your work. Hope you can come up with more neat ideas.

I like that you can leave the strap on while using the tripod. I have a bag for my tripod that has a strap, but invariably I can't find it when I'm ready to pack up. This solves that.
