I got one free when I got a second-hand tripod and it does make life much easier. I carry the scope in the rucksack. Selection here <a href="http://www.warehouseexpress.com/category/basecategory.aspx?cat03=3022" target="_blank">http://www.warehouseexpress.com/category/basecategory.aspx?cat03=3022</a>Obviously not ideal if you're in a birding environment where you need it at the ready but for long distance walks where it's the destination your interested in or on a reserve with hides I think it's a better solution.I've been told that carrying a scope + tripod using the shoulder strap on the scope's SOC is a bad idea because the thread inside the scope foot isn't meant to hold that kind weight (ok if your just using a centre column or really lightweight tripod though) and worst case scenario you may have to send away your scope for an expensive repair if the thread becomes damaged.My thoughts anyway. :t:Adam</blockquote>
