Yesterday I bought a DR-1 and I absolutely love it because my shoulders hurt after carrying around a camera for a couple of hours, and today, I had my 5D with a 50mm f/1.2 and a 50D with a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS on either side, and it felt secure and it didn't tire me out!

Okay enough with my review. So, I was going thru some bags and I found this:Tamrac N-11

And I was wondering, do you guys thing it would be safe to hang one of these from the DR-1? as it has a place where it can hook onto, and it seems secure. (Holding 3 cameras with this strap!)

Thoughts?

EDIT: here is the what the DR-1 looks like. The thing the straps can hook onto are on the top.

You look young, lol. 16-17 years old?

As for your question, do you really need three cameras on you?

EDIT: Oh yeah, 17 years old. Good to see another 17'er ;)

I don't know why your idea wouldn't work... If you really want to carry three cameras. Sun Sniper markets a similar strap/backpack combination that hangs a third camera in front.

A recommendation for you: Carry that 70-200 2.8 IS from the tripod collar rather than the camera's tripod socket. There's less stress on it and it hangs more level...

Especially if you're using the manfrotto D ring...

Nope, only 2 (I only have two), but the thought just occurred to me, and I was just wondering

My Bogen uses a different head, its much bigger >_>
