It looks good but I have tried those stretchy straps and I can't stand the way the camera starts to bounce if you are walking fast and not holding the camera.

I purchased the strap in the first link. I never carry with a neck strap, the second link is for a safety tether in case the base screw gets loose.
I love the shoulder strap, but modified the safety tether. I placed a small zip tie in the attachment ring on each camera so I can quickly switch the strap from camera to camera.
Saves a lot of stress on the neck.

The first thing I do when I buy a new camera is get rid of the neck straps that come with it. About 30 years ago I made a camera neck strap from leather. The leather is what is refered to as 1-2 oz. and came as a kit from Tandy Leather. It is a thin leather about 3 inches wide and is adjustable. it has taken a lot of abuse over the years and has made several trips to Asia and Europe. This same leather strap if you can find it online is selling for 70+ usd and from the photographs the construction doesn't look to be that good

I have a Black Rapid if I carry one camera, I usually strap one camera and mount the other on a monopod.
If I use two cameras, because of the setting, or venue I use an OpTech sling system that allows me to sling two cameras. I will add that OpTech straps and slings are priced very economical, a plus is that they are Made in the USA.
