Sling strap
Nov 27, 2017 11:51:05 #
I am looking for a more ergonomic strap for my Canon 80D. My current neck strap seems to bother my neck after walking for awhile. I looked at the Firestrap for $39. I would appreciate some advice, as I am new and transitioning from a point and shoot compact camera.

I never "carry" a camera by a strap - AND, I do not recommend it - tho, I may use a "tether" strap when in actual USE. For me, the camera/lenses are carried in soft cases - usually Tamrac - that can be fitted to a belt and/or a shoulder harness.
But, if you are a fashionista, you probably will not like this - oh well ....
Tamrac made a nice BIG case for carrying a camera with a good sized lens #5630 that I highly recommend - has provision for a large belt and D rings for attachment to a harness - visit ebay and you may find one ......

I use the OP/TECH Utility Strap. I have found it very comfortable, versatile and reasonably priced.

I use this also, gave a try for 20 bucks and it works great, better than the neck strap.

And check out the Peak Design's Slide Strap (on sale today at 20% off). Once you get those Red/Black tabs on all of your gear you will never look at anything else. And it does not bounce when slid to your rear hip area and you are walking. The Peak Design Slide is similar to the OP/TECH (which I think is made in the USA if that matters) but has two attachment points that seem to orient the camera with it's lens pointed more toward the ground than the OP/TECH. It does require an Arca-Swiss style attachment (that is included) at the bottom of the camera body for the second attachment that can also be used in an Arca compatible tripod head. And most L-Brackets most would have places to attach the required Red/Black quick release tabs.

Best advice yet, great price, made in the USA, and it attaches to the strap lugs where the manufacturers intended straps to attach!
By the way, I have personally use Optech straps since 1982, still have that first strap, and NEVER had a hint of a failure in those 35 years of hard use!

OP/TECH stuff is great, and everything they sell conveniently snaps together.

Black Rapid works great. I use it to hold a D750 and large F2.8 zoom. I was weary at first, you have all this weight on the tripod socket. So, I called both Black Rapid and Nikon to make sure it could hold the weight and neither had any concerns.
I do recommend two modifications; 1 - use a zip tie to secure the plastic clip together to prevent accidental opening and 2 - use a second short security tether from the strap to the camera.
