Optional equipment
Carrying strap
A carrying strap (34) (Fig 6) is available as an optional accessory and is installed as follows:
On the lower moulding of the leg with the strap, drive in the 'knock-out' (25.1) using a suit-
able tool. If possible, remove the blank from inside the moulding to prevent subsequent rat-
tle.
Push a blind captive nut (34.4) into the hole in the lower moulding.
Using a suitable M5 screw, fully compress the blind captive nut. Remove the M5 screw.
Install a washer (34.3) on the lower strap anchor (34.2) and screw into the captive nut
(34.4). Ensure that the hole in the strap anchor is oriented so that the karabiner(34.1) can
be attached.
On the underside of the tripod bowl (20), remove and discard the screw (34.5) securing the
corresponding leg clamp (20.2). Do not remove the washer (20.1).
Position the bowl strap anchor (34.6) on the leg clamp, ensuring it is correctly oriented. Us-
ing Loctite 221, secure the bowl strap anchor with the 25 mm M6 screw (34.5) supplied with
the strap. Tighten screw to a torque of 4.5 Nm (40 lbf in.).
Using the karabiners (34.1), clip the strap (34) to the strap anchors and adjust to length.
