[QUOTE="farsidefan1, post: 441484, member: 38359"] I'm home now (thank goodness, it's after 1 am) and I see that the strap I have is called a CS-Pro mark II by Carry Speed. I'm not sure I like the design as it appears to need a base which might interfere with attaching it to the tripod - which would be a pain if I have to take it off the strap to put it on the tripod:frown-new: I have the Nikon 1V3 on my list but due to the small sensor it is at the bottom of my possibilities. If I go that route I will definitely get the 70-200 zoom. As you point out, with the cropping that gives me an effective birding lens at over 800 mm. Something to consider. Clearly I need at least 2 lenses, sigh. I just hate to carry a big grab bag around my neck. I'm getting too old for that. Might have to move the 1V3 up the list. I have seen ample evidence that skill is as important as the latest and greatest. I"ll look into that other strap as well. First I'll try my Carry Speed with the D750 and put on at least a 70-200 zoom and see if I can haul that around comfortably. If so then I'll stay large. If not then the mirrorless and smaller sensor cameras will have to be investigated more closely. Moab man, Some great opportunities down that way. I got a bigger boat just so I could explore Lake Powell. Amazing scenery there and in Arches (and Canyon land and ... etc etc. etc.). [/QUOTE]
