These things just like the previous hard cases could be a little more discrete without the big Canon logo on them.
And I attach both the tripod foot and the camera base to two BlackRapid fasteners so the weight is spread and if one comes loose the other is still there.It's very much dependent on the way the lens/camera is supported within the bag and not necessarily unsafe. As far as ripping a lens off a camera, that would assume the camera is being carried with the lens hanging unsupported. With the "big" lenses the lens is carried and the camera resides rather safely on the lens. I can only speak for myself with the 300 2.8 and 400 DO and I'm not involved with ski photography.

I missed all the exciting Sony and Nikon announcements in the past few weeks, care to share them? Maybe if you did something other than complain constantly, you wouldn’t be so sad.Pretty sad. So little coming from Canon that Canonrumors is sharing a camera bag review!
Clearly it’s not that expensive to produce, probably something like $20,It would be great if the savings passes to the consumer. The 600mm II's case is $600.00.
TN? Lol. He’s technically inept, I wouldn’t trust him to review the on/off switch.LOL Not sad Neuroant. Plenty of info is available. Consider starting with Tony Nothrup's recent review of Sony's new eye AF upgrade. Pretty amazing. BTW I own a Canon 600mm F4 lll. Great lens. The soft case is a .......soft case.
This is how it performs - Canon's latest news item: https://www.canon-europe.com/pro/st...hq_pro-en_a_1_readmore_M1&utm_id=0277-201901nLOL Have you heard of Canon's DPAF. We all know that no single manufacturer can consistently have it all. Having a 600 doesn't guarantee wisdom in posted comments and in fact is quite irrelevant regarding eye AF or Tony or whatever - the thread is about cases for such lenses.
Post some shots with your 600 III - I'd like to see how it performs.

It's definitely not $600, but not as low as $20. My guess would be in the $40-60 range, based on the size of the parts and amount of material involved.
Also, low volume does not help on the cost side either.

$599.95 at B&H retail for the 600mm.
It is speculation if it costs $20, $50 or $100 to manufacture.
I never questioned the retail price, so why are you bringing it up?
As for the cost, it's only speculation if you don't know anything about production methods with the materials and make uneducated guesses. I do know a little.
