Hello...

I have the EOS 850D and an EF 70-200mm 2.8 IS I.

Is the camera body strong enough to support the weight of the 1.5kg lens when hanging the camera+lens with the default neck strap? It feels kind of flimsy.

Is there a way to mount a strap to the lens itself?

IMHO - Yes buy the strap and mount the lens so you don't drop it.
