[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 135104, member: 6573"] Ok I'll chime in. I have not had any good experience with any of the straps out there that can provide some comfort when using my heaviest set-up to shoot on events or sports. Using a D800, MB-D12, Nikon 70-200mm f2.8, SB 900 plus their batteries, the entire rig weighs around 7lbs. A little bit less with the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8. No matter how you place it around your body, these combos will tire something either your neck or shoulders. My $8 solution from an autoparts store. Memory foam cushion for seat belts. And I do have a picture to share. ;) [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/24917880@N02/8631910334/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8248/8631910334_3efb3595d7_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/24917880@N02/8631910334/]Upstrap[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/24917880@N02/]gqtuazon[/url], on Flickr [/QUOTE]
