Lowepro coputrekker AW hold a tripod? How?

I have a Lowepro backpack camera bag, and it has a fold-out bottom
pocket that holds the feet of a tripod, which is supposed to sit
pointing up. But I can't see any way to hold it up there, other than
by using some other piece of rope or a belt - there is nothing built
in. Is this correct? Maybe I have missed it but I have looked all over!

I don't have that model, but I have a different Lowepro backpack
model which also has the fold-out bottom pocket for a tripod. There
are two sets of elastic cords with compression buckles (one partway
up the backpack, and one at the top) which can be used to secure the
tripod. I'd imagine something similar exists on the Computrekker
as well, though I can't find a good enough photo of that model to
be able to tell for sure.

Yes, I have the Computrekker AW and it works exactly as Stephen states.
Additionally, you can cross the side straps, running them over two of
the tripod legs, crossing them and then attaching them at the opposite
sides of the backpack if you need more security.

Great - thanks for that. I saw one today in a camera shop and remember
now I must have the compression straps somewhere. Good idea on the
side straps, I'll give it a go.

Thanks
