Be sure to look at the Benbo and Uniloc ranges first. They're ideal for the
purposes you describe and Heather Angel uses one, which was good enough for
me (she's also a N*k*n user to show that she can't be right all of the
time).
Following Chris Barker's advice, I fitted an Optech Neoprene twangy comfort
strap to the top and bottom of the centre column of my Benbo Trekker and
it's a great success, as you can almost forget you have a tripod on your
back. For low level shooting, a pair of gardener's knee pads and a Varimagni
are also useful to help keep your chin out of the mud (or cactus needles,
etc.).
