[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 550165, member: 13090"] If you're talking about your D750 with your 200-500mm on a collar and a full day of hiking let's be honest... We're talking extremes now. The Joby would be up to the task but in all honesty, while the Joby has a little elasticity which helps absorb minor shocks while walking, it's not as padded as some straps I've owned nor does it have a wide shoulder pad to help distribute the weight like some of the BR straps do. I can carry my D750 w/battery grip and my Tammy 70-200mm (6 pounds of gear) on the Joby all day and not be any worse for wear, but that's me. The Joby doesn't shift around if you adjust it correctly but it's a narrow-ish strap so sometimes I'm more aware of it's presence on my shoulder than I'd like. That's a bit of nit-pick and I do love the Joby but the bottom line is it's a basic sling-strap with a really spiffy slide mechanism... And that may not be enough for everyone. [/QUOTE]
