I have recently purchased a canon 6D mark ii and a couple of smaller L series lenses. A pretty big upgrade for me coming from a T3. I was thinking about buying the 5D mark iv however I decided to spend some of the money on good glass also. One thing I didn't thing about was a camera strap since I was always just using my kit stap that came with the camera. I live in the pacific northwest and spend most of my time in the mountians shooting landscape and wildlife when seen. As of now the largest lens that I have is a Tamron 28-300 but am looking at purchasing the Tamron 150-600mm in the next two months. Most locations I have to hike into so typically everything is carried into my Lowepro pack however I have missed some really great shots due to the fact camera isn't ready. I am looking for a system that is comfortable and can be easily ready to shot with in a moments notice. It must be able to support heavy lenses. Basically im no pro but I don't want what I have spent my hard earned money on hitting the ground. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them.

Out, personally that's a pretty small lightweight camera. I would just use the stock strap and spend the money on a nice filter or extra battery etc.!
Enjoy your new camera. Good luck!!!

Question for Black Rapid shoulder strap users: is that the one that hangs the camera upside down
by its tripod mount? Are DSLRs designed to be carried upside down?


If your DSLR has a metal body it will be plenty strong enough but if it is a plastic body there is the danger of pulling the tripod socket out under severe impact load.

Picked up a Black Rapid strap yesterday and have been wearing it around the house attached to a Canon DSLR with a small 17-55mm lens - find it is an excellent choice for my needs. Thanks everyone for the timely discussion.

We are preparing to take a 14 day cruise on a four masted schooner in the Mediterranean and are very restricted on the volume of personal belongings we can bring along hence one camera, one lens, a couple batteries with charger and a couple SD cards in a Peak Design cloth shell.

Check Peak Design's Slide. They have the best connector tabs that make it a breeze to attach and remove the strap from the camera.

Thanks, but my straps do have quick connects on them and I'm very happy with the straps, so no reason to look at anything else!
