Q: 4. What does the 4.2 stand for? Besides size (dimensions), is there much difference between this Kinesis Safarisack and the 1.4 Safarisack?

A: The 4.2 is the volume of filler (in liters) for the large bag. The 1.4 bag has a volume of 1.4 liters. So, the 4.2 is about 2 1/2 times bigger than a 1.4. I have both and the 1.4 is a bit small for long lenses or folding in half over a car window or fence rail.tree branch but very handy for a flexible support with smaller lenses.

That converts to about 1.0 US gallon, specifically 0.971 gallon (3.675 liters). Anything more accurate than that could be provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 7. Is the fabric on the bottom of the bag really grippy on a partially open car window? Most windows today are curved on top, not flat, so bag-type supports often slip down on the curve. Will this bag stay put?

A: From our experience with this product, the rubberized material on the bottom is quite grippy, but your overall experience might depend on the weight/force exerted on the bag, as well as the severity of the incline of your window. In ideal circumstances though, it would work well over a window and even on the polished metal of your car's roof or hood.

Q: 8. Is the strap long enough to wrap around the lens effectively attaching it so it can be moved with the lens?

A: Generally, the strap in the center of the LensCoat LensSack Beanbag Camera Support would not need to be wrapped around the lens in order to support it. The lens would simply rest on the Beanbag for support. Whether the strap is long enough to wrap around the lens would depend on the lens being used with it.

Q: 10. How well will this work on my door window lower half way? I shoot birds and wildlife from my vehicle with a 400mm.

A: I bought this for a safari in Africa and did not like it. It wouldn't stay in place over the window and was always slipping. All the other people on the safari had something like the Naturescapes SkimmerSack or Lenscoat LensSak and seemed quite happy with them. I will order one of those next time.
