If your main interest is landscape photography you will usually (but not always) have time to unload a camera and tripod from a backpack and set them up before the opportunity disappears, but fleeting wildlife shots require something more accessible, even if the solution carries some disadvantages.
At the moment I usually have my K-3 with DA*300mm and TC clipped to a Peak Design Capture Pro with a ProPad, with this and other lenses attached to a Tamrac belt. I usually support the camera with my left hand when walking, which keeps it from moving around too much and gives me some reassurance, though I realize that if I fall that could be a problem. I took the advice of a previous poster and apply some Teflon dry lubricant spray onto the Capture clip and plate from time to time to prevent them from jamming. This is OK for me for up to 8-10 km. I usually shoot hand held, but there's always the option of carrying a tripod in a backpack. This solution would be less cumbersome with a more compact lens setup, but it's the best I can do to meet my own needs.
