The two go perfectly, because the belt is very long, so large people offers optimum comfort and easy to remove and install. The long and also very wide shoulder pads on the belt can be moved and relieves the neck region. A length adjustment is integrated into the strap, so that everyone can bring this to the optimum length.
At the bottom of a loop with snap fastener is attached, you can very easily set the tripod legs. So the tripod during transportation can not open (at 055XPROB these suits already in the factory setting, very good).
At the upper end a snap hook is simply attached to the one at the top of the stand mounting option latches.
The processing is as always very high.
Conclusion: Whether and how to use the shoulder strap, each self is left. I can do it as a sensible supplement highly recommend.
