[QUOTE="STM, post: 737210, member: 12827"] Don't get me wrong, I love my 600mm f/4 but to be brutally honest, it is a [I]BEAST[/I] of a lens at 14 pounds. Add the D850 or D500 with the grip, gimbal head and tripod (even though it is carbon fiber) and the rig tips the scales at around 25 pounds. Carrying it over the shoulder for any distance is an exercise in [I]mascochism[/I]. The weight itself is not a problem, I am used to lugging heavy weights on my back, but the sharp edges of the top of the tripod or even the bare legs gets rather painful after a while on my boney shoulders. I found this about a week ago on Amazon and man what a relief. This is the smartest $30 investment in gear that I have made in a very long time! [ATTACH=CONFIG]340663._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
