Polarising sunglasses do not have rotating lenses because it would
be impractical. The maker assumed that most of the reflected light
would be in one plane (such as reflected from water) and judged that
it would be sufficient to sell them on the strength of that.
I use an Optech tripod strap for my large Manfrotto (055B) tripod.
Apparently it is better than the proprietary strap. I don't carry my
tripod very far though as it would bugger my back.

I ordinarily wear sunglasses with polarizing lenses when out and

like an idiot, or a chicken contemplating a breakfast bug, as I
sometimes tilt my head from side to side to gauge through the
sunglasses what effect a polarizing filter might have on a scene
I'm contemplating.
So why don't polarizing sunglasses have rotating lenses ? I would think
that when the reflections are polarised in a certain direction polarizing
sunglasses would actually be worse than neutral unpolarising sunglasses.
