Tripod Leg Strap

[Andybrock]

Ive got a Rekon cth3 tripod that I use, Ive tried all types of straps to keep the legs together when carrying it, they’re either too noisy, difficult to undo for a fast deployment or at night, or rattle in the wind.
I’ve loktited the leg bolts and tightened them as tight as I can but eventually they work loose.
What’s everyone using to keep the legs together when carrying your tripod?
Thanks

Fatboy Tripod.

Their motto is literally “Our legs dont spread”

Hmmm? must be the tripod you have is noisy. I use nothing with my Sunwayfoto tripod as there is enough friction from the leg/apex connection to keep noises at bay. My new Fatboy comes with similar friction control and "Legs that don't cross" so no need for any such necessity for any device. Both seem to carry quietly.

A long ball bungee, tape it to one leg.

i keep mine partially open and carry it with rifle attached over my shoulder during the walk in to the set up and during the walk out. scanning as we go, if a target animal (coyote or fox) is spotted deployment is FAST and EASY.

no noise

I use a universal USGI tripod sling that's made for a M240 MG tripod

Between the wife and my 3 girls, I've got hair ties all over the place. I just stole one of those for my tripod legs

I think AWS nailed it with the Ball Bungee idea. Super simple. Super cheap and quick to secure and unhook.
