Occasional bird snapper
Up to now I have been using the Canon lens strap (with addition shoulder pad) when hand holding the 300/2.8 - comfortable enough but can get a bit snarled up when raising the combo up to the shooting position.
I have just got the BR RS-7 strap with fastener r3. Tried it out today for the first time with the 7D + 300/2.8 + tc (about 9 lbs total) - screwed the fastener onto a Arca QR clamp and then fastened the clamp onto the arca lens plate (that way you do not have to keep unscrewing the lens plate).
I walked for a couple of hours and It worked a treat - was easy and quick to get up to the shooting position. A bit expensive for what it is but it done exactly what I bought it for. So far so good :t::t::t:
