I'm comfortable walking with one hand protecting my camera from swinging. I'm confident you'll find your camera will swing too much without your hand being on the camera, too.

I've used this strap with the 70-200 f/2.8L II on a 5D III w/ grip + Plate + 600EX from the tripod collar. In terms of weight, I'd say that this thing handles it just fine (your shoulder is another question). There wasn't a whole lot of movement, but that really depends on how you situate it against your body, the orientation, and so on.However, I've never used this strap with a lens quite as long as the Tamron 150-600. I don't imagine movement would be much of any issue if you use the right placement and aren't running around. You may have to invoke the slide limiters (at least the rear one) while using it though.

Dear T. Charles Many thanks for your interest in the Tamron 150-600mm and for shopping on Amazon. I am not an expert but my understanding is a tripod is generally a good idea the longer the focal length and exposure as the camera has more time to shake, for instance, when slow shutter speeds are used in low light conditions. Generally tripods are recommended for telephoto lenses. A common rule of thumb used is to take the reciprocal of the shutter speed e.g. a minimum of 1/600 shutter speed for 600mm lens to get a sharp picture. A monopod is not typically considered a substitute for a tripod as each has a different purpose. For longer exposure shots, you would be better placed with a tripod as opposed to a minipod. Hope this helps. Kind Regards myZohan Customer Service

No. I have never had occasion to use the one I bought. And the one I bought was an Asian clone, far cheaper than the Nikon brand. Perhaps it would work better on a tripod with a collar, but I have used the lens on my D810 without a collar, and didn't notice any strain or balance problems.

I have a Tamron 18-270 lense on my 60D. It just fits in the case. I don't do it up as it looks like it will wear a hole in it at the flash shoe. For me it works perfect as I carry the camera on my bike in a tank bag. So it acts like a protective cover only.

I keep a couple of lenses in my bag. I keep a Tamron 24-70 2.8 on my camera nearly on all the time and it fits in the middle very nicely. I've posted a couple images with a ruler so you get a sense of size and capacity. Overall, I like the bag. However, it is not much good shifting it to the right shoulder. I wished there was a more universal solution. Left shoulder only! http://imgur.com/enE5F05 http://imgur.com/7FGRmKP Good luck!

J. Haley, the pad for the shoulder is nice and padded pretty comfortably. It really takes the weight off your shoulder when you wear it across the body. My camera with the battery pack and lens is pretty heavy and this strap takes off all the weight. I love it and highly recommend it. The padding is nice.

I'm a 5' 6" woman and I got it to fit me well for my big camera when I'm hiking--so there's hope. How to explain it when I'm not there is much harder. Take the slider mechanisms so that all the straps are double, and therefore shorter. In other words, pull the slider up as far as it will go. Another suggestion is to take it to your camera or sporting goods store to have a salesperson help you (even if you didn't buy it there). The bottom line is that you should be able to make it fit unless you are smaller than I am. Good luck.

Firstly I have mine attached to the left side eyelet. When I shoot vertical with the shutter release on top, the strap hangs down from the bottom & not across the back of the camera, had the strap been attached to the right side eyelet. Another one of the benefits of this is I can slip my right hand under the strap & wrap my forearm twice around the strap. When i bring the camera eyefinder to my head the slack taken up in the strap by being wrapped around my forearm allows me to have 2 or 3 points of physical stabilization. Great product, highly recommended.

I'm no pro photographer but I can tell you this much, is far from balanced. The lens is heavy for the camera body. I own an NEX-7 body.I have had this lens for over a year and it has become my lens of choice for both photowalks and street photography. Its optical length range allows me to take any shot I want to take, literally, a very flexible lens. As unbalance as it might feel at first you will get use to it and love it.

This is just a personal opinion - I use this support for the 24-105 when on occasion I'm using slow exposures because it does not have a tripod mount and it is heavy and allows vibration during exposure. On lenses with balancing tripod mount, this doesn't seem to be an issue. That being said, the mount does come apart and extend a great deal, and could be adapted either for mounting the camera or lens, giving a two point support instead of one, albeit with the front support somewhat in the way.

I'm not as big but it is long enough to still have the camera hang at you side. It is a great strap. I also have the wrist strap that goes with the same attachment you put on the camera. But, It barely fits me and others have said it is too tight. That might not work for you.

I've totally forgotten since I sold mine with my long lens. Sorry. I can say that it worked well with both my 300mm 500mm.

I would say that it's nicely padded. Not too thick. The stock strap that came with my A6000 has virtually no padding, and is really only usable for body and lot lens. If your intention is to carry a body with a mid weighted or more walk-around lens, then I'd highly recommend this strap. It also has a quick release latch, which for certain circumstance can come in handy. If your only going to carry body and kit lens, then I'd say stick with the stock strap.

I've used it with a zoom lens that weighs about 4.5 pounds. I really like it.

My 24-105mm F4.0 IS L stays on my camera when traveling abroad. It's heavy, but it does take fantastic pictures. Check into the Crumpler straps. I own this strap (http://www.amazon.com/Crumpler-The-Industry-Disgrace-Brown/dp/B001JQ4QCW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid;=1321633955&sr;=8-10) and it lets me carry my 70-200mm F2.8 IS L around all day without fatigue.

I used it on a trek to carry 5D Mark III, and loved it (for the most part). It was most comfortable w/ the 16-35mm lens & less so w/ the big 70-200mm. The only time it was annoying was on the super-steep terrain. Overall I'd recommend it.

When I walk with the camera down, it is tight against me and I have not had the camera spin on me. I've had the strap for around 10 months and I wouldn't trade it for another strap. I love my RS-7.
