Have a happy Christmas
Any advice on how to carry this combination of equipment around for a morning shoot: Canon 30D attached to a Canon 600/4 lens which is attached to heavy duty tripod and a Manfrotto 3421 gimbal telephoto support.
I can carry all this pretty well just by holding on to the lens tripod mount with one hand and with the other hand holding one of the tripod legs. But I can't carry it all for an extended length of time without stopping to rest.
What I'm looking for is some kind of strap or something to support the weight and still allow me to quickly set up for a shot. I'm a little leery about balancing it on my shoulder since it seems like it could slip off too easily and also the gimbal mount might wobble around.
Thanks for any input.

Might be worth trying the Scopac. Frequently use it with a scope and tripod. Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work with a camera/600mm lens combination and tripod.
