How secure is the attachment to the camera body? Is it something that will wear with use? I want to use it with Nikon D800 + Grip + 70-200mm lens.

As long as the fittings on the camera do not fail, you will not have any worries. This strap is excellent. I have a single and a double harness from Op/Tech. I use the strap with all my lenses 8mm-400mm & extension tubes/teleconverters, on my Sony A99 and A65 cameras and have no concerns whatsoever. I thoroughly recommend Op/Tech as a quality manufacturer with very reasonable prices.

I chose this strap after much investigation and I trust it implicitly. I also have a Nikon with 80-200 f:2.8 & 35-70 f:2.8 lenses and there is never a problem. Go for it; you won't regret it!

it is the most secure strap you can ever own. I have put on all my cameras and have never had any problems with it. Love that you can unhook the neck strap which folds to put in your bag, I would and do recommend this strap to everyone. I have a Nikon D7000 with a 55-200mm & a 300mm lens no problems.

I think it will be quite secure. I've usedit with a D7100 ans the 18-200 lens. Not as heavy but should still work fine with your outfit.

It works great. I have had no problems with this strap. It is comfortable and very secure!

It is actually a lens attachment. It does not go on to the camera body. If your lens is the same size as this attachment then it should. However, I am a novice at this and not a professional photographer. You could also take a copy of the product description and your camera to a local shop and inquire with a knowledgeable associate. Also, if there are local photography clubs near your home you can ask a member of the group. Good luck.

For my application it has worked well. I am a firefighter and use it on Technical Rescue drills. This involves a lot of movement in all weather conditions. The base that this mounts to is probably the weak link if it were to fail. The one I installed seems to very secure and I feel confident that it will hold for normal use. I cannot attest to having the camera impacted by objects since that has not happened to me as of yet. The best answer that I could give is that if the attachment is as secure on my bike helmet as it is on my TRT helmet I would not hesitate to use it and any rides.

I keep a couple of lenses in my bag. I keep a Tamron 24-70 2.8 on my camera nearly on all the time and it fits in the middle very nicely. I've posted a couple images with a ruler so you get a sense of size and capacity.Overall, I like the bag. However, it is not much good shifting it to the right shoulder. I wished there was a more universal solution. Left shoulder only!http://imgur.com/enE5F05http://imgur.com/7FGRmKPGood luck!

Fully understand the logic of the open-ended belt clip, but the manufacturer's loop-style is a lot more secure - firmly closed at both ends. Were it not for that, I'd be concerned about the camera and case falling off my belt if I bent over. I spent many years as a professional photographer/writer. Securing my Nikons ranked above minute inconveniences.

Yes, I attached mine and it is very secure. I use it with a Canon 500mm so it certainly handles the weight.

I use a Nikon D7000 with a 28-200mm lens and a SB-600 flash, seems secure, though if possible I always keep my hand on the camera, habit I guess.

The body w/lens will but I'm not sure about the grip as I don't own one yet, however, I think it should. Hopefully someone else will chime in. My advice would be to order this bag and one or two more you're considering and see how you like the fit of your gear as well as the fit on your body, and then return the losers. That's how I ended up with this bag which carries a ton of stuff and is very comfy to wear (I'm tall, overweight, and well-endowed).

You cannot use the case with the grip attached. The case fits snug to the camera. The grip is 1/4" thick.

Dont know if it is attached but by them self the lens will fit seeing how its 3.8 x 8.0 and the 70-200mm is 3.4 x 8.1 and this bag is design to hold the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens by itself.. so it will hold the 80-400mm lens by itself now let me just add this in my use of this bag what you are asking my work if you dont close the top of the bag you might get it close but it wont close all the way now i do use a D7000 with a 70-300mm lens and it does close and work like that

Yea I've got a d800 and it holds all my large lenses at very awkward angles. I'm very comfortable leaving it as it is with -10k worth of equipment. Very sturdy

The grip is solidly built. I've attached a 75-300mm and it didn't break a sweat. However, if you're talking about a very heaving long lens then you'd want to use a tripod collar. Otherwise the tripod won't be as effective.

It's definitely up to the task of that particular lens; I use mine with that combination fairly often. I've even rarely used my Sigma zoom (400mm) on it and it holds. Obviously the more weight on the camera, the more off balance the belt will start to pull and feel.

I love mine. Fits well and is very handy to use the camera with it. Provides some protection when you are out and about with it. Enjoy.

Should add, not sure if stabilizes camera, but I have a D200 and D7000 and it helps with grip fatigue. And I don't worry about dropping camera.

Hi, I use this on Nikon D5100 without grip ( much lighter than D800 ), but it's not comfortable to me.

I had the impression that I was supposed to lock the clip after I pull the strap tight. It seems second nature to do so since you hold the ring with one hand an the clip/base area w the other to cinch tight to your body. After that motion, I automatically lock it in place. My D800 plus 24-70 would fall down every time if I didn't lock it.
