Ususally fold tripod legs together and carry that way, often over shoulder 
with camera behind. Worth getting a neck strap I would have thought, very 
quick to take on/off but adds another way to carry the camera. I would not 
regard the winder as needed, used ELXs in the studio where you did not want 
anything to move between bracketing shots but never felt the need outside ;-)

I'd ask at HUG, but they are awfully quiet people :-)

So how do people (used to) carry their Hasselblads? For anything over 20
feet, of course I'd put it back into the bag and carry the bag. However, how
about just moving around, looking for the shots etc. I don't have a
neckstrap and I can't imagine it would work. I usually just sort of cradle
it but it's touch to do when you need two hands to move and adjust the
tripod.

I suppose the CW Winder may be useful? But at 1 1/2 lbs, that's quite a bit
of more weight?
