Tri-Pak - carrying heavy tripods & lenses in the field?
Has anyone ever tried to use a Tri-Pak for carrying heavy tripods & lenses in the field?
See http://www.bigpockets.com/catalog/gear/tripak.html
I met recently a photographer in the field carrying some med-large Nikon lens/camera on a tripod w/ ballhead with it. She recommended it and gave me the name of the supplier. Would be curious to hear if anyone on this forum has ever used it particularly with a 500 mm lens and tripod w/ gimbal head. Can it support/distribute the weight well? Is it durable?
Thanks in advance. JR
