Attaching a tripod to a Lowepro 200AW

[barbs]

Probably a stupid question, but hopefully a quick one.

I have a basic tripod and was wondering if there was anyway to attach it to the Lowepro 200AW bag?

I can't see any basic straps or attachments on the bag (apart from 2 sort of loop things on the side that look more decorative than functional!) - so is there a 3rd party set of straps that I need or that you'd recommend?

Thanks.

Barbs.

Do you mean the Slingshot 200 AW? AFAIK you can't attach a tripod to it. Have you considered a tripod strap?

the loops on the side are sliplock attachment loops for extra lens cases.

AFAIK the slingshots cant carry a tripod, the very nature of how they are designed to be used would render this almost impossible

Thanks for the replies and yes - sorry it is the slingshot.

As I had feared, that is I can't attach a tripod to it - but as suggested above are there aftermarket options to attach a tripod to a bag such as the slingshot?

I'd say it really is a non-starter. Check out this thread on POTN....

Certainly a tripod would severely hamper the intended use - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tOfWHWcUrA.

But someone seems happy with the idea....

I've had a tripod on a slingshot 100AW-It fits okay on the loops but as said isnt ideal-No idea about usabilty on a 200AW though
