At the beginning of this guide I discussed the benefits of mounting one end of a shoulder strap to the tripod socket on the base of your camera, so that the lens points downwards while you walk. Later in the article, I will discuss some options for converting a regular strap into something that can carry a camera in this way.

I was surprised after carrying two cameras for a day that I didn’t need to see a chiropractor the next day.

But one area we know we do not need to improve on, is in our choice of leather used on all of our current production leather camera straps. Five sizes available: 90cm – (35 1/2″), 100cm – (39 3/8″), 110cm – (43 5/16″), 120cm – (47 1/4″) and 130cm – (51 1/5″). The reviews we've had honour us, and we are constantly striving to improve on our leather camera straps, even in the smallest of ways.Still, with a larger camera, once you try carrying your camera this way, you’ll never go back to doing it the ‘normal’ way.

While I often remind people a shoulder strap or sling isn’t always necessary, I would never advocate having nothing on the camera at all. The PD system is not that bad but thinking of doing that whilst wearing a pair of gloves it gives already an headache, probably I’m too lazy and always trying to find the solutions that works best for me. All of my D-SLR’s are fitted with a simple Nikon strap that has ‘Nikon F5’ embroidered on it, which perfectly reflects my relationship with the digital world!

The result is that when you detach the strap, you’re left with a lot of ‘stuff’ still stuck to the bottom of your camera. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. However, I don’t notice it nowadays, and I’ll use the capture for all lenses on the camera (though the largest/heaviest I have is the 70-200).

Gitzo came out with several kinds of straps in their Century lineup a couple of years ago, but the other ones looked overly bulky and complicated to me. I certainly wouldn’t use it with a 70-200 or a 100-400, even if I added the Pro Pad for some additional comfort. I would imagine that a short zoom on one and a fast prime on the other would be a popular combination, or the previously mentioned 24-70 + 70-200 combo. All of our cameras are also refurbished and serviced, which includes new light seals, clean interiors, and lubricated mechanisms where necessary. I found I used the front clip much less, and mostly just left it up high by the shoulder pad so that I had full range of movement to slide the camera up the strap to my eye.I guess that shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise since it was designed for automatic weapons in war zones. It’s true that if you want to carry your camera on your shoulder al day long then for comfort I probably would limit its usage to small cameras, but you can, and potentially should use it in a different way.
