Thanks Ecke, I'll bear the tripod advice in mind, I hadn't really got to the stage of wondering about the tripod on the bike, it just never occured to me.

The tripod fitting of the DryZones is IMHO superior to the Summit's as the tripod is attached farther down and there is less risk of neck injury in a crash situation. Personally, I would not carry the tripod while riding but attach it to the frame somewhere or put it in a waterproof roller bag to go across the bike atop the panniers/rack. For offbike, either attachment is fine. There is also the ortlieb backpacks but they have no dedicated photo interior.
