I just bought a 200 f2 lense with the ln-1 lense strap. It is too much weight on my neck. Do you guys use 2 strap when using heavy lense and camera combo?? I was looking at the black rapid sport shoulder strap but it is better to have the weight hold from the lense when using heavy lense right?? Let me know what you are using for 6.5 lbs and heavier lense.

Congrats! Homie don't do straps. This set-up makes a great carry handle, left elbow tucked
in tight...rock steady for BIF. Gets too heavy, set 'er down hood first...can't hurt it.
Besides, what's another 15 oz

Yeah do you have for sale by any chance?? I was looking for one but they are out of business!! I put the carbon fiber hood instead of the metal one and it is a little bit lighter!! About 100 gr lighter!!

I just use the BR double strap. One end into the body the other into the lens foot. It balances nicely and take the overall strain off of your neck and back. Looks a little funny but we are Photographers so does that matter...?

More like a bullhorn. Too short for a bazooka.

Not really, lots of folks know the 'monkey by now (do not feed) The surprising thing is
the access I'm granted with the chub in tow. It's usually at my side 'til I heft 'er up for a candid.
Most never see I've taken the shot. Granted, I'm not workin' L.A. or N.Y.
