[QUOTE="editorial_use_only, post: 702342, member: 40895"] Yes I do the same things. Monopod, ballhead, QR plate, 200-500. Tighten up the ballhead, carry over my shoulder. I bought some pipe insulate foam at Home Depot and gaff taped that around the monopod to make it softer on my shoulder. And, I have a BlackRapid sling strap. I almost never use it. If you do, get in the habit of checking that the screw is tight, and it is secure in the lens foot. And, I put it in a backpack. And I have the Ape Case ACPROLC18. That case has a shoulder strap. I sometimes carry the lens/camera inside that case, though a D3 body and the 200-500 is a very very tight fit. You can close the case lid, but barely, and there will be gaps. [/QUOTE]
