I don't use neck straps, I don't any holders, just my hand on a grip of the body, zero neck pain, and my setup varries between 1.5kg to 3kg+. On the heaviest side, my upper back starts to show some complaints after longer time of shooting. But I don't use that setup often, otherwise monopod would be introduced.

One of my lenses weights 1.7kg, with the full size body it can already get some weight then.
