I researched extensively. Was leary of cheap ones' connections. Decided I wanted a sling but one in which the camera slides ON the strap, not the whole strap moving, since I usually have a hydration backpack on too. Decided on the Imorden Falcon F-2. Has an under-arm strap to stabilize it. And a secondary safety tether. Shoulder pad is comfortable. Can hang left or right. Special plate attaches to 1/4" mount on camera but can still attach to tripod. Sling 'Trigger' attachment locks securely. Amazon $40 with hand grip included. List price $70.

Stabilize with Anwenk Camera strap belt chest stabilizer with elastic and release clip system. Can use with Imorden sling too.
I have a D7100 and I use a black Rapid and love it
the black rapid also allows you to choose whether or not you want the camera to slide due to set of clamps on the strap
I know exactly what you mean. i have neck problems which is also worsened by the strap. Many years ago I came across a harness --BIOCAM harness by OP/TECH USA and I love it. They make 2 different types--one is heavy elastic which has a "give" and this one I like very much since I have access to the camera and shoot without any problems. The only drawback is that I have to support the camera to prevent it from "swinging up and down". To avoid this I have made a strap out of wide elastic and strap it around the camera and my waist on long walks/hike The other is made of "twill like" material which has no give to it at all. I got mine through Amazon about 2-3 years ago. i hope you enjoy using this as much as I have. Another source is Cotton carrier which is like a vest. Google and you will get many more suggestions. Best of luck

Leicaflex, you o'll seadog! You have helped me greatly in using my cameras eaiser! I clicked on your Peaked Design - Camera Straps. I was impressed
with this new series of camera straps that I have not known, I bought two from B&H this morning, before the store opened, and they shipped today
HOW'S THAT!
I always look for better and easier ways to do things. Years ago 1989, I had a stroke and have paralysis on my left side, can't use my left hand - I'm
left handed! I do not cry about anything, I do everything, but, at a slower pace. Can't run, but I still have my magic eye!
Was a LEICA user in my 35mm film days, three LEICA R bodies and 12 lenses, BIG, BIG, Bucks! THANK YOU, I am very impressed . . . AP!
