Got a similar unit but in metal. I like the way it fixes to your backpack.

Very interesting and informative review. Hope the bruises heal quick!

What camera did d you use for the first beach shot. Love the way the pebbles have been resolved. :thumbs:


I think it might be worth getting one of these....if only to help UK manufacturers. Starting a UK where possible buying strategy. ;-)

Meant to say those orange straps look very useful. I like the buckles. Is that a Jan special or do they come with the tripod?

I have a Lowepro flipside which has a hideaway stirrup to support tripod. (White motif at bottom in picture)

I prefer the flip side because when I take off the backpack and lay it down on the ground to access the interior... the back of the case is in the dirt...not the front that's going on my jacket! It's also more secure as the access is against my back!

Thanks Eric.
I will look for some of those buckles or the ready made straps.

Eric: all shots either D600 or iPhone 6s

JK: I think lowepro do offer those straps as spares. I know a chap bought two extra ones and has four on his Whistler 450, which isn't standard

Dont suppose you know the part number or what they call it.
I did look on the LowePro site but may have missed them.
