Re: Hanging Pentax DA 300 F4 on K1 Upside Down From Camera Sling by Tripod Collar. How Safe?

I have a different sling but it attaches to the collar foot via a ¼ tripod screw as well. Very secure if you tighten it.

But mine doesn't have a snap link.

The collar is usually a good balance point but that's still a bunch of weight and bulk. My strap allows me to draw it in close, which helps prevent swinging around. And I always have a hand or two on such a big combo; I use the strap just to help with carrying it, and don't let it just dangle like I would with say the K-1 and a 50mm.
