Been there, for sure! I used to feel the same until I started using the Cotton Carrier camera harness. It's honestly been a lifesaver for long hikes. It balances the weight and keeps my camera secure, so I don’t have to keep stopping to adjust. Plus, I can quickly grab my camera without rummaging through my bag. If you’re tired of feeling weighed down, I seriously recommend looking into it. Here’s the link: https://www.cottoncarrier.com/pages/camera-gear-load-and-carrying-tool. It makes hiking and shooting way more enjoyable!
