The Bogen/Manfrotto 401N Quick Access Strap is a quick and easy padded tripod strap for carrying your tripod. There are two sets of strap; the shorter straps are used to fasten the strap to one of the tripod legs, the longer adjustable quick release straps bind the remaining legs together. The padding helps hold the tripod in place and protects your back from bruises and chaffing. The 401N stays attached to your tripod when shooting.
