Q: 1. Can this be worn under a backpack?

A: Yes, it could be. Please note that it will likely be putting weight in just about the same area as the straps to your backpack will. So, you may alternatively wish to consider mounting your camera to the backpack strap, for example with a Capture Clip (B&H# PECPBK3): https://bhpho.to/37P3pvd

Q: 2. does this camera take square photos?

A: The Think & Shoot Spring Morning Camera shoots a standard rectangular image.

Q: 3. I'm 5'4 female with a Nikon D810 and 500mm lens. Will this work on a Botswana safari where the vehicles are open and a bean bag would be useless and a monopod might be difficult?

A: I am 5'4 and have a nikon D750. I used the vest on a recent trip to the arctic. It was wonderful for securing the camera with the 70-200mm lens when I was getting in and out of the zodiac boats or when we were in rough waters and it takes the weight of the camera off your neck when you are out shooting for hours. The steady shot was an okay replacement for a tripod in tight or rough shooting conditions, but it is subject to the movement of your body. Use a fast shutter speed and a high ISO and you will need to keep your hands on the camera, especially with a big lens. I haven't tried it with my 500mm lens as I just bought that one.

Q: 8. Can the attachment to the vest be with the telephoto lens itself, not the camera body?

Q: 10. With the two camera version, can I put most of the weight on my hips and not on my shoulders?

A: The weight gets dispersed between the hips, core, and shoulder. If you just want the weight on the hips you may want to get a belt system like this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1655133-REG/spider_camera_holster_240_spiderpro_dslr_dual_camera.html
