Q: 2. I take my camera on long hikes, usually over 2 miles, photographing birds. Sometimes the terrain is rough and I fear that the BR strap will allow the camera to bounce away from my body and back striking my hip.Should I worry about a sore hip?

A: When I use this particular strap I tend to have my hand on the camera so it does not swing and I have never had a problem with impact on my hip. I am traveling to Africa in late October and I will be hiking in some tough terrain and I need my hands free during the hike. Based on this I am using the double spider holster set up. I did a similar hike last weekend and used the spider holster to hold two cameras with large lenses and it worked great and id not swing or move much during the hike. At the same time I was ready to take pictures at any time.
