There is a little strain on the mount and it may be easy to bump it, create a lot of strain and damage the mount and possibly break it. Length creates leverage on the mount. When I am traveling in areas of possible opportunities, I set in in an open pack for quick retrieval, but protected from rolling or setting something on top of it.
Thanks, I carry my Sigma 50-500 attached to the body when I am using it and during transit to shoots. I have the Lowepro bag and it fits along with my other lens and body. My theory has been to keep the camera from exposure to dust as much as I can. The back pack keeps the camera/lens from moving.
