The hand-a-long is a padded bar that encloses a short hand-carry strap which attaches to the built-in rings at either end of the first leg section of the 542ART/532ART pro video tripods. Because it’s compact and attaches to one leg section only, you don’t need to take it off the tripod while shooting so it’s fast and convenient in the field. And it won’t get in the way of tripod positioning or filming. The grip is long enough to allow hand position to be moved to match centre of balance of tripod/head. Can be combined with strap 540STRAP.
