Hi! I have quite a heavy set-up and have posted this image in several threads. This is how I carry my bird photography rig through the bush. Magpul strap with QD fittings that can attach to single point on either side of the L-bracket. You can pick it up and shoot as you see it, but I will attach to a single point depending if I want landscape or portrait orientation. e.g BIF - landscape, egret up close - portrait. However I think being prepared for macro and birds on one walk is a bit much. If you see something nice when out birding, go back later with the macro gear. Also consider spending a few hours in one spot and let the birds come. Great for water-fowl and particularly waders on a beach. Get low and let the in-coming tide bring them to you.
When moving to different sites in the car, the rig in the image can be released in two "pops" and then go on either my tripod or monopod that are always on the back seat. Furthermore all my lenses (14mm astro, 90mm macro and 2 zoom lenses) can be quickly attached and used in either landscape or portrait on my Flexshooter Pro Mini ballhead. So a pre-dawn birding trip with the camera set for hand-held BIF on the Magpul strap can turn into a tripod sunrise shoot in less than a minute.
