Is there a maximum weight for this strap? Can a larger handheld telephoto be used and carried safely? Example: Sigma 50-500mm, or 120-300mm

It should, but I have had mine disconnect from the camera for no known reason both times that I used it damaging my new lens.Joby is sending a new pro-strap but I'm still out of $250.

Don't recall weight limit but I'm sure it was pretty high. Just visit there Web Page, it tells U right there.

I apologize for my vague answer. I gave this to my son and he is in Asia carrying his Canon Rebel Series with telephoto lenses with the strap. I think there was a maximum weight for the strap, but I don't recall the number. The strap is VERY well made and comfortable for a young man-not so much for an overweight middle aged woman ;-)

I went on safari in Africa for 8 days and carried a Canon 100-400L which is a very heavy lens with no problems. It was very comfortable too!

It screws into the bottom of your camera where you would mount a tripod plate. I do not have the camera and lens you are talking about. I have a Nikon d7000 and I have quite few different lens that I use, the largest being 18-200mm. I feel that I could even go with a larger lens if I needed to. I feel as though it holds my camera very securely and in a way that I can access it quickly. It is by far the best strap I've used. I don't think you'll have a problem at all with your camera and lens on this strap.

Yes I think so. I carry a nikon d5200 with 55-300, an 18-55 and a 40 mm as well. Also I carry extra straps all cables and even manuals for the camera and remote trigger and also all my lens cleaning stuff too. Its a great bag. It goes everywhere with me.

I can't recommend using this strap with a DSLR. I'm using mine on a Sony NEX mirrorless camera, which is considerably smaller.

You need to check the weight of your camera. A single strap held just fine my Panasonic DMC-TS5, which weighs only 8oz. Considering you will get 2 straps (if you buy the same set), it should easily hold up to 1lb of weight. If your camera is heavier than 1lb, then I suggest you ask manufacturer

I've used this strap with the 70-200 f/2.8L II on a 5D III w/ grip + Plate + 600EX from the tripod collar. In terms of weight, I'd say that this thing handles it just fine (your shoulder is another question). There wasn't a whole lot of movement, but that really depends on how you situate it against your body, the orientation, and so on.However, I've never used this strap with a lens quite as long as the Tamron 150-600. I don't imagine movement would be much of any issue if you use the right placement and aren't running around. You may have to invoke the slide limiters (at least the rear one) while using it though.

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 can only tell you that my Nikon Coolpix AW110 camera weighs 193g, and this wrist strap float works with it. We tested it in our really deep kitchen sink.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makes the tripod "slide" downward.

Not at all! I own two of them. One for my Nikon D7000 with 18-200mm Nikkor and Vello battery grip. The other is used on my Canon G15. Best strap I have ever owned.

I am not certain of the max weight because I only use mine for a tabletop telescope (about 8-10lbs) but I can tell you this tripod is build like a tank and is very high quality. I would not hesitate in putting 20-30 lbs on it with no worry

Not sure the exact weight but I use it with a Nikon D5100 and a Sigma 150-500mm lens and that is about seven lbs.

I can tell you that this bag should be able to be locked because it has the double zippers on all of the compartments but you'd need a couple of looks to secure everything. So I looked at the Sigma 50-500 lens that a big one! I'm not sure if it would fit, I mean the bag has configurable compartments just not sure if its big enough for that lens and your camera. Maybe Amazon can send you the specs or have on site somewhere.

I'm not familiar with the specific camera you mention, but I would feel comfortable using it with any camera I have. Any camera that would be too heavy I would not want to wear on a strap anyway. I would say you can buy this with confidence.

I've had a 5D2 with 70-300 zoom in a LowePro Toploader attached to 'em hanging off the straps on my backpack and it seemed to be fine. But I'd recommend contacting the company (Tamrac) and asking if they have a weight limit, I'm assuming they will for liability sake.

I'm using this strap on a Nikon D80, D90 and D7100 with lenses ranging from 35mm all the way to a 100-300mm zoom lens and a 70-200mm zoom. So Yeah, I think holding up a D3300 is the least of the problems the strap has to deal with.
