Ok I'm getting sick of carrying my tripod around by hand - it just gets in the way far too much - so I need something to carry it with. At the moment I do have a bag with a tripod slot, but if I am using the main backpack part of thebag to carry anything delicate I don't like mounting hte tripod and if I am out on a longer walk I tend to use my non-camera bag (And thus no tripod holder at all).
So at the moment I am trying to decide between one of the quick strap options or a proper tripod bag. The strap options are good in that they are not bulky (thus don't get in the way) and they are also quick to use - in addition they don't care what tripod head you use since it won't affect the strap in any way.
The bag options seem a little more tricky to pick since they will need to be large enough to accomodate both tripod and tripod heads - though they do offer a little more padding on ones back (as opposed to straps which just leave the metal legs digging into ones back) as well as a general cover for rain and mud and stuff.
So anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?
