Garth,
Well I didn't tell you my right knee was shattered and have a complete replacement, so I am a bit unstable as well. Sounds like we should be getting together for a hike...

I just talked with CC. I asked them about the weight issue. he has several clients who carry D4s with a 600, so guess there is no issue with that.

I am going to order one from B&H. If I feel it doesn't satisfy my needs, then back it goes.

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary, good idea about B&H. Although I have used the company for only one purchase, I understand they are very good and have customer friendly service and return policies.

Hope you like the CC, I do and I thank you for the information about carrying weight. I am considering getting a third attachment device and installing it on the lens foot of my 200-500. that way there is much less stress on the camera body and the lens mount in particular.
Best regards,
Garth

I have a CottonCarrier vest that I use to keep my camera from swinging. Does an excellent job.

Tried it didn't like it. The attachment at the bottom of the camera kept coming loose. Spider Pro way better.

Did you add a drop of Blue Loctite to the threads as recommended in the instructions?

I have had it for nearly 2 years now and have had no problem with it.
