I wear mine on my belt in the horizontal position when photographing weddings,etc.

I have speedlights on stands, on TT5s with some kind of light modifier. I found a landyard for a name tag ( tacky) and looped it through and hang it from the light stand(s). I wish they made something a little nicer but I am going to make something that is a but more functional maybe with fastex buckles.,,,,I have attached the pack on a flash frame ( monsterous) and on my belt loop ( cumbersome)

Strap it to your belt. It "looks" professional like that. The cord is long enough if you stretch you camera over your head with your arms. I have long arms. If you mount it on your camera, the weight of the battery pack and camera might be too much for long photo shoots. I take a lot of pictures of hot women and I need my arms and hands to be steady. Hope that helps.

Depends on how you use the flash. If it is on a light stand I usually use these giant rubber tie things. And tie them to the stand. I wouldn't recommend putting it on the camera if you plan on handholding it. It doesn't work well at all. Would be fine for tripod use. Make sure you have good rechargeable batteries like the Sanyo eneloop X ones or whatever they are. Enjoy!

Battery grip might be pushing it. Tripod maybe on the side, but that is really designed for water. It is a smaller pack. I loved trekking with it. Tripod,.....

you use the clips on your camera. The strap attaches to your camera not the case

There are two straps on this case. One that you would put around your waist and is concealed in the back when not in use. The other is a shoulder strap. When hiking I use them both together, one around my waist and the other over my shoulder-certainly more stable that putting it on your belt. You can just use one of the straps alone if you want. Understand, its a pretty big case though. It holds a DSLR with a telephoto lens plus a front pocket and an inside pocket under the flap. It has both a zipper and a velcro clasp. I love this case and bought one for my husband also.

Strap is sturdy and extra long. Camera connects to the strap via a metal connector which screws into the tripod mount. A big DSLR and a zoom would be as awkward as it would be with any other strap. I use it most when I hike with a bulky fixed lens digital. I find that it hangs comfortably in the back on top of my day pack or in front, if I shorten up the strap. Having backpacked in the past [but never with this strap] I would imagine you would want to shorten it up and hang it on your chest. I think it would be versatile enough for that.

I attached mine to the loop that sits at the top of the backpack (imagine what you would grab when you pick the backpack up from the floor). it did the a few tries to find the best points of attachment and to make sure that its doesn't move when sliding the camera in/out. At this point I haven't made any adjustments in a year. Its a great item to have if you want quick and easy access to your camera.

If you gave a strap then your good, you can slid it through back of camera mount like a belt through pants. I have made differt mounts for it and you can get a mount kit for it for about 5 bucks, it's no go pro but I have been nothing less then impressed.

Yes it works as well as the Sony, yet understand that the belt apparatus across your chest is wide. I guess that would be fine in the winter but I feel it will be too hot for hiking in the summer. Forget the "dork" factor. I have gone to installing my camera on my daypacks shoulder strap, you still look like a "dork" but at least I don't look like a photographer nerd. I guess if you really wanted to look really dorky, then a headband will do the trick.

There is NO belt loop on the case. The front cover wraps around the bottom sides (snaps) as well as over the front, and snaps at the bottom front. Having a belt loop wouldn't work with the front cover, since you need to remove the front (bottom) snap and fold back the cover to make the camera work. Besides, the camera is screwed to the bottom plate of the case, so you don't take the camera "out" of the case to shoot: You just fold back the cover. Buy a better strap for the case and you'll find it a great case for the LX-7! Have had for two years and is in mint condition and we've traveled globally with it several times for months!

Hello, Eddie, you know I never even thought about that. It's so small and light, I simply toss it in on top of the rest of the gear in the camera bag! It rides across the tops of the dividers and seems plenty happy there. I'm pretty sure you would be able to find a bag for it ... with some searching but I don't know of any per se. Good luck.

There is a belt loop and also a small loop above the belt loop where I attached a carbiner which allows me to attache it to my pack. The biner that came with it is junk so you will need to replace it.

The strap that goes around your neck will attach to the camera. I use a hand strap that will mount to this unit. Other then those too I don't know what kind of strap you are referring.

Wow, great question. I do not see how, there is no fixed anchor point anywhere to keep it in position. However I would note, there is a sling lock at the camera low point to keep it from extending over the strap length. The camera weight is in the wrong position, its up on your back. Pedaling a road bike with the lower front handle bar begs the camera to swing down. Maybe a back pack would be safest. Check out Think Tank.

I"m not sure what that strap is. I use the regular strap for my camera, but when the sleeve is down over the camera, the strap is not in use. There are no holes on the top edges of the bag, for obvious reasons, otherwise the strap would wick the water in to the camera. So, I guess the answer is no, you would not be able to have the camera on your neck and have it completely covered with the sleeve. I use them all the time, but I'm not a neck wearing person. I hand hold my camera.

Not quite sure what clip you are referring to but if it's the clip that locks in the strap length, then yes you should lock it. The weight may have to do with how you are wearing it; I recommend that you experiment with different positions. One word of caution: you must frequently tighten the screw that holds the strap to the camera. The other day, as I was hiking, my camera fell onto the ground because the screw was loose. BAD BAD BAD.

Put the strap on first then it works great, my camera hangs low below the bottom of my day packs. I clip my back pack chest strap under the camera strap.

The lens needs to be detached, in my opinion - for the best fit. You may be able to close the bag with it attached but I guess it depends what else you are carrying. Hope this helps
