I use a Peak Design clutch strap on my Nikon DSLR. This makes it easy and comfortable for me to handhold the camera with little effort or , in my case, no pain. Before finding out about this I was considering just using a point and shoot.

I just wondered if you Hoggers had any other examples of little things that have proved to be very helpful to you or made photography more accessible for you .

i have the clutch strap. i found i pushed my trigger finger out of position. I wanted it to work because i tend to carry my cameras around with my right hand hanging down. I got the peak design strap at the same time. having the lens barrel hanging down at my hip or small of back has made it much easier to use a neck strap.

I have a Vello leather hand (clutch) grip on my camera that has the battery grip attached.
MINIMAL hand fatigue carrying the camera at my side! Love it!
(I also put D-rings on the camera so I can use my clip-on neck strap if I want to.)

I had the equivalent product from another vendor. I too liked the feel and convenience. However, I eventually found that having my right hand tied up like that was too much of an inconvenience and I switched to this great strap. For me, it beats the other product by far and best neck strap I ever used.

A pair of reading glasses to help me more easily make out the number scales on the lens.

Of course, all my little gadgets have proved to be very helpful, like remotes, flashes, monopods, clamps, tripods, well I don't want to bother anyone with this list getting much longer, but you get the point. The point is, that all these little things are made for just that - be helpful by making things easier!

Love the CarrySpeed sling strap. Takes all the pressure off the tripod hole.

I have the Peak Design clutch strap attached to an "L" bracket on my DSLR. I also use a Black Rapid Sport strap with the underarm stabilizer and a Really Right Stuff mini clamp to connect to the camera's "L" bracket. Makes it very secure and easy to detach when I want to connect to tripod.

I no longer use any kind of a wrist strap that has an attachment to the tripod socket of the camera. I prefer heavily woven (corded) wrist straps, with a sliding stop to keep the strap from slipping from my wrist and mounted to the right camera strap lug. I should explain the sliding stop; when my arthritis causes my hand to cramp, I have no control of my fingers and cannot catch a loose strap falling from my wrist.

I just bought this shoulder strap. I like their system for hooking to the camera.
