How best to tote around long lens/camera?

So….bought the wife - a bird watcher- the lens of her dreams ; a Nikkor 200-500 f/5.6! She couldn’t be happier!
But - it’s heavy ( and more so with a D500 attached) and long, not something you can hang around your neck and hike around in.
A backpack is possible, I suppose, but getting the gear out and shooting isn’t a quick or easy affair… thoughts / suggestions? TIH!!😄

Another option is the ThinkTank camera holster

Nikon DX lenses.

I have the AF-S 16-85 3.5 - 5.6G DX lens on my D5100 as a walkaround lens.
Not to big or heavy with good sharpness and a nice range.

How has UHH changed your photography?

yes the biggest change for me learning from UH was to move from Aperture Priory to Manual and setting my Max Speed and the required Aperture then adjusting either or both to control my ISO according to lighting conditions.
I was always shooting too slow to keep my ISO low but have learnt to allow much higher ISO.
I also learned from UH to use BBF which is my norm now.
i still shoot with a Nikon D5100 and a Nikon AF-S 70-300 FX & a Nikon AF-S 16-85 DX and am still amazed at by applying above how much my photos improved.

Dropped Camera saved by lens hood

another "lessons learnt" is never leave your camera bag unzipped.
I did once on the dining room table - pickup by my wife and boom there goes my Nikon 70 - 300 on to tile floor Fortunately it was repairable - new focusing mechanism and lenshood.
