I think I can do this. That is, walk a fair distance with this D2X + 200-400vr on a monopod/Wimberley Sidekick rig. Did a couple "laps" around the homestead this afternoon, and while I'm still searching for the most comfortable way to carry it over my shoulder, the weight's not too bad. It does kind'a dig into my shoulder a bit with the lens facing backwards. How does everyone else do when they carry a rig like this? A couple test shots: {} Focal Length 290 mm Exposure Time 1/640 sec Aperture f/5 ISO Equivalent 400 Exposure Bias White Balance (-1) Metering Mode matrix {} Focal Length 350 mm Exposure Time 1/1000 sec Aperture f/5.6 ISO Equivalent 400 Exposure Bias White Balance (-1) Metering Mode matrix (5) JPEG Quality (6) Exposure Program aperture priority {} Focal Length 400 mm Exposure Time 1/4000 sec Aperture f/4.5 ISO Equivalent 800 Exposure Bias White Balance (-1) Metering Mode matrix (5) JPEG Quality (6) Exposure Program aperture priority
Get some foam rather firm. 6x6x7 inch carve recess for you shoulder and carve recess for your tripod or monopod. Carve recess for your neck. Encase in a bag which you can attach a necklace to hold around your neck. Do not be too generous on your carving. Birger
