Don't believe the nonsense about carrying your scope on the thread of the tripod mount. This thread is capable of supporting a far greater weight than your scope and tripod. A lot more in fact. They tell you it's the weak point so they can sell you an harness/scopac/fancy strap. If it's happiest over your shoulder the thread on the tripod mount is the least of your problems.</p></blockquote><p></p>
