Getting older means bigger tammy. Every time I go for a walk with or without my camera hanging on my neck I have to bring up my pants cause my tammy is bulging.Exercise does not help.My question is there camera strap that work as suspenders at the same time?

Go to Op/Tech USA web site and check out the dual harness. The photo will show you how it looks. Then get a set of extenders. Put one around your belt on each side and the loop them through the arm holes in in dual harness. adjust to fit and you should be good to go.

And you can carry one or two cameras with this rig.

Thanks, I will check it out. Always looking at strap because of neck, hip, and leg issues.

Short of using some sort of Velcro arrangement (might involve surgery), why not use suspenders in addition to a suitable strap or straps and a backpack? No one will even notice the suspenders, if that is an issue.

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt with the suspenders under it would do the job as well.

I have the same problem, MT Shooter sells one that goes across your body works great for me.

I never use straps for carrying a camera or lens - and recommend the same ! This - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Body-Mount-Supporter-Best-for-Sony-a99-a77-a65-a57-a37-/331408473727?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d297bfe7f - seems to be a pretty good system .....

Thanks! That was in the original post as well and represents the US outlet. Amazon.ca is the Canadian outlet. Apparently they have different sales-inventories.
