I'm seriously considering this pack. Its listed as having a waist strap. Does this waist strap lend any support. I carry some camera gear with me and really need something that helps take the pressure off my shoulders. Like anyone else I hate feeling bogged down!

The waist strap on this model is for stabilization only--not load transfer. If you are looking for something to take the weight off your shoulders and transfer it to your hips (a far more efficient setup), then you will need to get something with an internal frame. For a super lightweight internal framepack, I would recommend the Deuter Futura Zero 30. It's a 30 liter pack (compared to this pack's 21.3 liters) and weighs very little. It offers extremely versatile gear carrying options and would like make hauling your photography gear a blessing, not a curse.
