I would agree, I have actually used this for carrying a camera on
tripod with large lens. If anyone is interested, I am looking to sell
this, as I am no longer using it. Purchased a year or so ago, the
only issue I had is the weight, which in my case is pushing 20 pounds.
No issue with carrying the weight, even with that much weight if was
not uncomfortable.
