How to attach camera strap to EOS 6D with a heavy EF 70-200mm lens

[RizzoTRat]

I have a heavy 70-200mm f/2.8 attached to my 6D camera. I want to attach the camera strap in such a way so as to be comfortable, but to take the weight of the lens off of the camera lens mount. Therefore, would it be preferable to attach both ends of the strap to the foot of the lens collar? Or one of the ends to the foot of the lens collar & the other end to the camera body? I would appreciate your thoughts if this is something you have sorted out. Thank you so much.

I'd like to offer these recommendations.

When I use the sports breathe and a long heavy lens, I fasten the strap to the the lens collar.

When I use a wrist strap, I fasten to the body and use the collar/foot as a handle. The latter does not allow you to use both hands.  It just depends on the amount of freedom I'm looking for.  Since you are carrying the rig by the lens, there is very little weight on the mount.

Thanks, Rick, for the response. I have a strap that I have been quite pleased with. Ideally, I would like to utilize it with the heavier lens, rather than buying yet another strap. I appreciate your suggestions.

Ricks suggestion of the Black Rapid is the direction I went and attach it to the tripod foot (if your lens has one). It comes with the appropriate fastener. And just to ease any paranoia I use a MoKo Paracord Nylon Braided Camera Hand Grip Strap which you can purchase off of Amazon for $9. It's a lot more comfortable than it looks and I always still have my hand on the grip of the body.
