What strap do you use for your cameras?

I use Optech Pro loop, and thus just added some longer strap connectors to my existing set up and connected them to the built in rings on the lens.


I can't seem to find a link to the complete longer strap set up, ? But i did find these;

and these extenders;

Not a strap, but a carry system. I use the Cotton Carrier when I rented the 500 f4 and 200-400. Works great!

I'm thinking of purchasing the version II. What's a good quick release plate for this lens? I was considering the Wimberley P50, but are there others that I should consider? Plan is to get a Wimberley Sidekick to go with it.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

I got the full replacement foot for my 500mm (version 1) and 200mm f/1.8 etc.. IMHO this is the way to go vs. a plate. A much more elegant solution

RRS, Kirk and others make them. I think LCF 53 is the right RRS model for the newer MkII lenses.

On my 500mm it happens to be one made by 4th generation design, but I think the RRS may be better in many regards. The 4TH gen offers a lower profile, but makes using it to carry it harder.

Saves weight though! :)


Interesting! The current 4th gen for the new models looks to be height adjustable!

I like the low profile one Jake. For the strap I use the one that comes with the camera. But when I bought the 500mm the lens strap is missing I thought maybe I should buy one.

I use the 4th gen foot on my 600mm and as Jake has said it does lower the profile, and uncomfortable to carry, so I screw the black rapid hoop thingy straight to it, and use my RS7. Very comfortable, hope this helps

Be careful with the low profile one and do your research. It seems to work fine on the 600 II, but on the 500 II, somebody had posted on FM that the low profile version interferes with the hood when it is placed reversed on the lens. The regular profile version is ok, so I ordered that one.

Just back from my annual trip to the Farne Islands (NE England). Not great weather and couldn't get out both days, but happy with the results so far.
