Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and to wildlife photography in general however as an avid hiker and trout fisherman of over 20 years I'm no stranger to wildlife and nature in general. I recently got a Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens(~2kg) for my D7100 and I'm trying to figure out where to attach my Peak Slide Lite anchors so there isn't any risk of damaging the camera mount. I assume having both attachment points on the foot of the lens is the absolute safest however that leaves the lens/camera hanging horizontally which seems kind of awkward. I have seen some people attach one end to the foot of the lens and the other to the side or base of the camera and it appears to keep things pretty vertical, my question is: Is it safe? If you have a preferred way to attach your strap to your gear while using heavier lenses please share, I'm always open to new ideas.
