I have the Op/Tech original tripod strap and like it very much. Super comfortable:

I purchased it along with some other items from Adorama.

I have the Op/Tech strap as well. There are two versions, the original with two quick disconnects, and the swivel version with one quick disconnect on one end and a hook connector on the other (for tripods with a hook connector). Very comfortable!

I saw it this past weekend at Downtown Camera for $31.99 I believe.

There is also a Matin tripod strap which is similar to the original Op/Tech (with two quick disconnects) available at Vistek on Queen Street for about $19.99 IIRC.

I use a sling for a shotgun on my tripod. I bought it a Bass Pro in Vaughan, but any hunting store will have them, maybe even Canadian Tire. It has to be a shotgun sling as a rifle sling needs swivels, a shotgun sling just loops over the tripod.

I was using it on my tripod at the Distillery a couple of weeks ago.

I have the Optech swivel and quick connector tripod strap if you're interested you can PM me. I never used it. It was for my Manfrotto 55proB combo but I sold it and I forgot I even had this strap until I saw this posting lol
