Lens Band for Canon RF 100-500mm?

[Tony-UK]

I have just bought a Canon RF 100-500mm and also using a shoulder strap for the first time with a Canon R5. The lens extends whilst being carried. I understand a lens band can help with this, has anyone used a lens band with this lens and any recommendations for a band that fits this lens?

There is a tension adjuster ring between the switches and the extending ring. Turn it full clockwise and the lens won't extend when being carried on a shoulder strap. I've being carrying the lens on a shoulder strap for two years now with no problems.

How did I miss that, should have read the manual. Thanks.

And read the manual for the collar as well, folks on fredmiranda.com didn’t and were surprised to have it open while being carried.

I usually don't read the manual first. So don't worry about asking as there is always someone who is pleased to help.
