Op/Tech has lots of options that attach to the lugs. Some can easily convert from a neck strap to a cross-body shoulder strap.

Op Tech has a binocular strap (meant for a camera too) in stretchy or non stretchy fabric. It connects to your camera lugs and it distributes the weight evenly to shoulders and back and off your neck for a comfortable fit for hiking. The camera is easy to get to for a shot while you are hiking.

To sum up:
- Black Rapid
- Op Tech
- Peak Design
(order is just alphabetical)
Any of those are very good, check them and see what looks better for you. Or try them if you can.

I use a black rapid but I added a lead and connect the camera to a standard strap lug. The other end connects to my belt loop. Can't drop the camera and it shares the weight

I added a lead 17 Inch lead and a D ring on the black rapid. Shoe store charged 8 dollars to modify it.

I use a Black Rapids shoulder strap. I've recently become dissatisfied with how it attaches to the tripod socket. Any recommendations of a strap( other than the provided neck strap) would be appreciated. I want one that hooks to the neck strap lugs. If I had access to a sewing machine , I could easily adapt my current sling.
Another vote for Peak Design here. I prefer the Slide Lite. The full size Slide is marginally more comfortable, but it takes up a lot of room in my bag. The Slide Lite is is fine on my A7Riii. I leave anchor links on all my cameras and just need one strap.
I like their 'Lens Kit' lens carrier when I want to carry a second lens but don't want to bother with a bag.

Just purchased the Peak Slide myself, waaay better than the factory supplied strap.
ANYTHING is better than an OEM strap. If you ever buy a used camera from me, you will also get it's OEM strap, never opened. Even a piece of rope is better! I'm an OpTech customer. Best of luck.

I hate having anything dangling from the camera, so I wanted a strap that you can easily remove when not in use. I use the UPstrap, which has very sturdy clips that attach to the standard metal loops provided on all my camera bodies. I only have one strap, and can easily move it from camera to camera. The UPstrap also has a great shoulder pad that won't slip off of your shoulder.
Why don’t you show us you setup on your camera I’m interested in seeing it?
