Probably right, just trying to think outside the box.

I recently purchased a strap from https://www.blackrapid.com/camera-slings/ I used it on my Canon r5 walking all around Paris last week. It left my hands free if needed or was right there to grab and shoot. It was also comfortable to wear.

I want to go back to Paris too . As strap looks good , but it hangs on shoulder and camera dangles low . Under backpack strap ? And good for hiking using piles? Attachment to Peak Design foot instead of using specific screw-in part?

Something like this might provide multiple different attachment points. 😜🤪


I'd be wary of attaching an expensive camera to a strap of unknown origin that only costs $15.

Midline hanging camera: I won’t be able to see my feet. (Let’s not bring up my belly ).

My Cotton Carrier Skout positions the camera to the left of the midline perhaps just below a backpack attachment.

Many great suggestions here for straps and/or holsters that either are at the waist or across the chest .

Just FYI, the reason no backpacks are allowed in either Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon is because it is Navajo tribal lands, and someone once with a backpack, took out a jar and spread cremated ashes in the canyon and it is Navajo sacred lands and that is totally forbidden. . From that day forth all backpacks have been banned.

Always check what you can bring or cant when planning to visit a location, as many have restrictions. They are no more separate photo tours in Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon, so you can no longer bring a tripod either. You just make your shots handheld on the regular tour.

It is a bucket-list place and worth the Navajo-guided tour cost and living with the restrictions for the great shots.

When we were there I was told they had had a problem with guns.

Yes that too, but I heard about the ashes spread on two separate trips there.

Cheers

Various good solutions here. For any carrier with its own attachment for the camera, IF that attachment is plastic you may find it does not hold up for heavy cameras. That has been my problem with the camera vests, with their plastic hub for carrying the camera. They don't last long! What I did was use various tools to cut away the plastic hub, and then I bolted a Capture Camera clip on in its place. That has worked well for me. Now my vest has two carry points for two cameras. One on the chest, and a second hip holster firmly attached to the vest rather than on a belt, and that too has one of those Capture camera clips on it now.
