Yeah, yeah, "Black Rapid" for dual and "Quick Strap" for single to take the load off the neck and single shoulder - the economical way to go!

Not as much swing as with a neck strap or sling strap. Clearly, the camera will pivot on the SpiderPro dock but I usually have a hand on the camera when walking anyway; not a problem for me. I think it's an excellent piece of kit but pricey.

I use the "Q-Strap" an ebay (chinese) knockoff of the Black Rapid strap.

I saw a guy at the zoo, that had all his equipment on a wheelable cart specifically for camera equipment and he also had on a vest/jacket with lots of big pockets..

I owned the Spider Pro- briefly - and thought it is really good -but I returned it when I had played with Capture ( Peak Designs is the manufacturer. )

I don't know if it is permissible to link to videos, or manufacture's sites...but a little Googling for Peak Designs will get you to their web page - and a number of videos to explain better than I can how this new system works - and why you may like it.
I have no vested interest other than being "that guy" that has bought and tried everything out there for the purpose of comfortable, safe carrying of camera gear.

:roll: :-P

I bought several items from Peak Designs and have had no luck getting in touch with their customer service depart.

Today was my fourth try. Maybe they will respond this time.

Otto - I will PM you a contact e-mail that will get your questions answered :thumbup:

If there is a weakness in the company - it seems that they are understaffed, though I was told they are working on growing the customer service to try and keep pace with demand. Tough spot I imagine.

FWIW I use the JOBY UltraFit Sling strap and am very happy with it. It keeps the camera out of the way and safely to my side and in back when walking. No banging the camera, OUCH!, on the rock I'm climbing on.

I use either a Black Rapid or Carryspeed shoulder sling. It simply hangs across your shoulder at an angle, hence taking the weight off your neck.

I also use the Black Rapid RS DR-1 Dual setup.

Try the Spider pro camera holster Mick, I've used it for a couple years now and love it. Watch this B&H video. https://youtu.be/BXt7xfpUBaA

I have had a pulled muscle in my neck for years - work related. For a walk around, I have found that the wrist strap is a great solution for holding the camera. As far as taking all the gear, I use my "sherpa" (his term) husband for that job.

You pose a topic that sooner or later everyone has to confront. For years I carried a canon monster, generally with the strap on my shoulder, not around my neck. You have been given several ideas for straps which distribute the camera's weight well in most cases, but eventually all straps, in my opinion, get to be difficult to work with particularly if you do "fast" shooting and need to get the camera to your eye in a hurry.
I finally changed systems to the Fuji and have not had a problem since. Yes, as others have noted, you may lose a little with the crop sensor, but, and it's a big but, with Fuji's excellent lenses, you can still enlarge to 11x16 without any noticeable loss of sharpness etc. And if you use a professional organization for enlarging, they can do some correction if the image begins to fall apart. I selected Fuji because it has a great selection of lenses, and you can taylor make you system over time, one piece at a time. Some argument exists among the "super" pros re: full frame, and for what they do to earn their keep, they are probably correct. However, in the long run, most of the pros I know are slowly turning to the mirrorless
and using the full frame for "special shooting" and argue that most folks can not tell the difference between full and crop except in that special occasion when enlargements need to be very large. Steve
