If you use long lenses and you're looking for one of those win-win situations, you might want to consider the Lens Cradle from DeluxGear. This includes the lightweight, durable arc-shaped Cradle Mount that attaches to any lens with a tripod collar. It reduces stress on your neck and shoulders by supporting the camera and lens, keeping the lens horizontal rather than hanging down vertically. You can also quickly remove and invert the Cradle Mount, turning it into a bipod camera support that you can use on any handy surface for stable support while shooting.
Also included is the Neo Duet 4-point camera strap. It comes with a 21.5" neoprene boomerang shoulder strap, two 3/8″ primary strap attachments connected with 5/8″ quick release buckles for holding the camera, and two 3/8″ secondary strap extensions connected with 3/8″ quick release buckles for supporting the lens. It can also hold binoculars or a second camera. The Cradle Mount is made of a 60% polycarbonate, 40% ABS blend, for durability. A 1" rosette thumb screw provides quick and easy mounting to, and removal from, a tripod or monopod. The Cradle Mount fits Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Minolta, Olympus, Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina lenses.

Comments about DeluxGear Lens Cradle:
I am using it to support my 70mm to 400mm Sony G lens on my Sony A77 Camera. This lens weighs more than twice as much as the camera. I can quickly hookup or unhook the portion of the strap which supports the lens. When using a lens that does not require extra support I simply discount the lens support portion and use it as a regular camera strap. This is a good camera strap actually better made than the one that came with the camera.
