Since I use a rather large tripod (Bogan 3021), I carry it in a case on my back.

Way back in the old days (1890's), the camera that later (With a lot of add-ons.) became the Speed Graphic was designed for bicyclists (Called a bicycle camera, don't you know?), it was carried on the rear rack or dangling from the handle bars. The tripod, very much needed for a view camera, was usually a long wooden thing that normally was carried strapped to the top tube. That all was a lot of trouble for a days shooting of a half-dozen or so photos. Just thought I would put things in perspective for you
