Looking for camera strap for heavy lens

[nemesis256]

So I'm currently using the Pacsafe Carrysafe 100 and after shooting for a few hours with my bigma, my neck was hurting from the weight. With my camera it's probably around 5 to 6 pounds.

I've been looking around and up to now found three options:
Luma Loop
BlackRapid RS4
OP/TECH Pro Strap

The reason I'm looking at the first two because the weight would be on the shoulder instead of the neck. But I'm not so sure about those two because the camera's position. I get a feeling it would really get in the way of walking. Right now I'm mostly interested in the Pro Strap, since it supposedly does a good job of spreading the weight.

Does anyone use any of these with a heavy lens? I'm open to other options as well.

BlackRapid here. RS4 and 5. You get used to the camera being at your side and I walk around with a heavy lens all the time.

Have you tried using a normal strap on the lens and carrying it on your shoulder? Also, try flipping the camera so the prism is facing your body.

Black Rapid here also...I hook to the tripod collar on the lens.

Carry Speed CS-1

works great and i like that it has a threaded screw on the bottom of the mount so no removing the strap mount to hook up to a tripod. I use this with my D90, Battery grip and 70-200 2.8 VR all the time and it works great! Very sturdy!

Black Rapids all the way. I use a single or double depending on one or two bodies.

carry speed looks identical to a black rapid...huh.
except the base plate... I hook to my tripod's quick release plate. functionally the same though. nice.
