Hi BP. So I was correct then, in my assumption that they were too flimsy for tripod use. I simply used logic (& Expierience) that with the weight if a tripod, & the load of it bearing upon the sharp corners of the holes for the carrying straps. This would appear to wear through the straps at this point VERY quickly! So to my mind, if Rifle slings were the Norm, WHY on earth would they go on to develop a 'Purpose made' carrying harness?
IE: With the Rifle slings doing an admirable job for which they were issued. 'If it Aint' broke, dont fix it' attitude!
I also have never seen evidence of the 'Harness' being used to carry a Tripod either. So it is nice to know that those more versed in 'Bren Research' are aware of this Ficticious use of this harness!
Thank you, Cheers, Mike
