It is to laugh. <a href="http://molenda.us/videos/velocity7-d2x.mov" rel="nofollow">Velocity 7 meets D2x</a> plus the usual walking around town stuff a fella would need. I normally sling the Velocity 7 over my shoulder -- I can have the bag in front, on side, or behind me in a second. Or I can use the hand strap (with the buckle snapped shut, as you noted). In truth I tend more towards the Velocity 9 with the D2x and my oversized lenses, but I've used the Velocity7 with the D2x on hikes without any problems. But if you've got a bag your happy with, no sweating that. The tripod looks nice, but keep in mind that no one sticks with the first tripod they buy -- it takes a year or two to realize that a $300 tripod might actually be better than a $100 one and worth the money. :-) The D200 too big for the Tamrac Velocity 7?
