Hi everyone, I have recently been diagnosed with a disk in my back that is bulging and impinging on the nerve root in my low back (L4-L5)...the joys of getting older! The weight of carrying my Z9 with 600mm PF f6.3 attached is causing increased back pain, so I'm looking for a way to off-load the weight from my low back. I've looked at the Cotton Carrier Sling Belt
(https://www.cottoncarrier.com/products/new-sling-belt) as one possibility, which looks like it might place a lot of the weight on my hips/legs (and below my lower back). I've reviewed the thread on this forum on the Cotton Carrier vest (?Skout), but it seems it might still place most of the weight on my low back. For those using a Cotton Carrier system, do you recommend the attachment point be to the lens foot collar rather than to the camera (which might be problematic for me, as I have a RRS L-bracket on the Z9)? Thank you in advance for any guidance or recommendations you can provide.
