Okay Hedgehoggers, I need some help. I just bought a Pentax K1 Mk ii with battery grip. Beautiful camera but damn it’s heavy to be hanging around my neck all day on the chinsy strap that came with it. So, please suggest a better shoulder strap option. I’ve researched a bunch and it seems like a lot of them hang by the tripod mount-hole...this doesn’t seem like a great place to suspend all that weight. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, all.
for my D800s and D850s. You can also buy it for two cameras

The Cotton Carrier has multiple advantages over straps. First, the camera is carried close to your body centered on your chest when not in use so you do not need to worry about it as you would with a side strap where the camera can strike a solid object when you walk through a door or by a solid object. Your camera locks into the Cotton Carrier with quick release that allows you fast access and a safety strap between the Cotton Carrier protects your camera from drop damage should you loose your grip on it. A big plus is that it takes the load off your neck and places it on your body's midsection and equally on both shoulders.
I have used mine for five years and traveled extensively with it. I have found it to be a very good investment.
