Tripod strap for Slik U8000, got??

darkness · 4th November 2002

Is there such a thing as a tripod strap for the Slik U8000? Quite sian of carrying the tripod around by hand, and don't really like the idea of using a tripod bag. Or any other ideas of hand-made strap?

try the generic OP/Tech tripod strap. that's adjustable to fit most tripods and it's very well padded and easy to carry.

I just went down to CP to look for the strap. It cost $30. Frankly, after looking at the thing, I wonder if it's really justified to pay $30 just to hold the tripod. It's not as easy as I tot to deploy the tripod from the strap. Also, it seemed to be designed for really large and heavy tripod. I think if I hand my U8000 from it pple will laugh at me...

It's the OP/Tech one loh. According to the guide in fotoguide, he said that if CP doesn't sell, then no one else in Singapore is selling liao.

The strap looks a little big to me lah, but Tweek found it ok, but we agreed that $30 is too steep.

hahaa... well, it remind me of raynox wideangle... i want but s'pore not selling!!!

why u say $30 is too steep? tot ur previous post said it's ok? then wat is the reasonable price?

darkness · 9th November 2002

Eh... don't think I talked abt paying $30 is reasonable b4????

I dunno lah, camera stuff are usually very expensive if you realised. A similar thing that is meant for another use (c.f. a camera bag and another bag but doesn't specifically says its for camera, but similar) usually can cost a *lot* less. I think I'll just to to DIY a simple strap when I got time to find the materials I need...
