Ok, so I have been doing some research on sling straps (Black Rapid, BosStrap, Sun Sniper, etc.) in an effort to try to see which one would work best for me. I am, however, concerned about a couple of things. I have found a couple of articles that seem to indicate that Canon (my camera manufacturer) says you should NOT "hang" the camera from a connection at the tripod mount. Can anyone tell me if this is just them being over-cautious to avoid lawsuits, or is it truly not a good idea to have my camera support its weight along with, say, my Canon 100-400 lens, this way? Is it better to use the built in camera strap lug? I don't want to damage my camera.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
edit: fixed lens to 100, not 1000
