Troubleshooting
Strap feels uncomfortable or is digging in.
Adjust the strap length for a proper fit. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly and the camera/tripod is positioned comfortably on your body.
Tripod feels heavy despite using the strap.
Confirm the control-stretch system is engaged and functioning. Ensure the strap is correctly attached to both the tripod and the attachment point on the tripod head. Verify the load capacity is not exceeded.
Swivel hook will not attach to tripod.
Verify that your tripod has an eyelet on the center post. If it does not, this 'Swivel' version may not be compatible; consider other attachment methods or strap types.
