What's the maximum size this can handle?

Our harnesses are engineered to carry more than you can put on them. That being said your body can only carry so much weight and can only handle lenses of a certain length. For instance, a 600mm f/4 with its lens hood will probably be too long! For larger telephoto lenses we recommend securing the camera hardware to the lens foot.
