Unfortunately, I have no experience with them so you'll have to hear from the pro's on how to take care of it! Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

It is best used mounted on a monopod but not with any kind of head or QR system as that becomes the weak point of attachment (as well as being useless anyway). Carry it with camera attached, hood on, attached to monopod, over your shoulder with camera in front and hood behind. If you get the monopod extended to about knee level then it gives more balance.
