Just some suggestions.

I had a professional photographer recommend a baby stroller for zoos. I carried my camera on my tripod; he and several of the other photographers in the group, especially those with the huge lenses, used rented baby strollers that seemed to work well.

how about a monopod? less weight, easier to carry, could put quick disconnect bracket on top, carry camera as normal and use monopod as a walking stick.

You want a tripod dollie. Google tripod dollies or call a professional camera store. Also check your tripod manufacturer website. I once shot a project wheeling a tripod around Chicago's loop with a Hasselblad EL and 250mm lens. The dollie worked well on the sidewalks and streets.

Yes,I use quick release on my tripod but the problem for me is transporting it all around our Metroparks,it is just to heavy for me when I have my 150-600 mm.lens attached to my Nikon 610.Yes I can put my tripod in a sling & carry my camera on a strap but if I see something I want to capture I then have to remove the tripod from the sling, un hook the camera,place it on the tripod & guess what,the subject is gone .I guess they need to come up with something that will hold my tripod with attached camera & big lens!🤔

Nowadays, most tripods come with a quick release mounting plate. Buy a lightweight tripod with snap release legs which let you set up quickly, and always have the mounting plate attached firmly to your camera. I think you know what to do next.
this is a cheapy one which works well and have a centre hook for stabilization.

RRS Loc: Not sure

What camera, lens, and tripod are you talking about? Don't laugh but do you do any physical activity with your upper body to strengthen your arms? You can get padding for the upper tripod legs that makes carrying much easier. Are you shooting a long prime or what? I keep my legs (tripod) extended when carrying for several reasons, first for balance and second so I can put it down an be ready to shoot. I carry a large CF tripod with either a 300mm f/2.8 or a 600mm f/4.0 with a 1.4 extender and a pro body all attached. I'll make a few suggestions you can think about. First, if your not already using a quick disconnect between your camera and tripod, get one, I use Accra Swiss. Next, get a good wide camera strap for carrying your camera over your shoulder and either carry your tripod by hand or a Black Rapid strap to carry the tripod and you'll have both hands free. I sure hope you get some answers here so that you won't have to give up on your photography and my last thoughts would be to get a lighter camera or to just forgo the tripod and maybe try a monopod even though I'm not a fan of monopods. Best of luck! Sorry, just read some of your reply's and what I just said won't help.

What is the camera and tripod? How heavy are they? What lenses do you use?

The camera is attached to the tripod by a single screw. When people throw the tripod + camera over their shoulder the torque can be quite high and enough to break the screw. Or the screw can come loose. It's not a good idea to transport the camera + tripod together. If you have a quick release plate on the camera it's a simple matter to attach to the tripod as necessary. if you're using a tripod it's unlikely that time is a factor so I'd get a strap for the camera and, if the tripod is to heavy to carry, you could get some sort of wheeled shopping or wheeled golf cart (as others have suggested) for the tripod.

I think this is a great solution. Adding an actual golf bag would keep the tripod and camera from slipping around although she might have to place the cart in a horizontal position to load and unload the tripod.

I have a ThinkTank Airport Security bag - it has external attachment point and appropriate hardware for a truly massive tripod. I suspect that it wouldn't have much trouble with a tripod with a camera attached, even if the legs are extended. Its wheeled and they go over rough surfaces pretty well. Also, look through ThinkTank's site you may find something better suited - they have all kinds of transportation gear.

I used a d-ring dog leash to attach to both ends.
I don't have to put it ON my shoulder, but hang the leash from my shoulder like a backpack.

You might consider a mono pod.

Yes,I do light weights & do the treadmill,I am a retired nurse with carpal tunnel in both hands so nothing is going to help me I am sorry to say but thank u for your reply!

Before you invest any money you should double check the Garden management. There are some places where tripods, etc. are not allowed. I don't know about Atlanta, but I'd double check.
