My husband got me a harness for binoculars but he hooked up to my camera instead of the God awful neck strap. It sure is easy to take pictures especially when walking or if you something else in your other hand. He got it from CROOKED CREEK that is the name of the company.

Black Rapid straps for me.

Wanda Krack Loc: Tennessee, USA

Two items for camera carrying that have been helpful for me, one is a simple binocular carrier, lightweight, elastic fits over both shoulders and camera rests on the chest. I use this when I am hiking very far, or up and down hills. The second one is a camera strap called the hippie (I think) strap. It is soft on the neck. Both of these have clips that I clip into o rings attached to the camera's strap spots, and therefore can be simply clipped off when I want to put the camera on the tripod.

I agree the Bosstrap looks good. I'll definitely consider it if my Black Rapid needs replacing.

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 .

A gadget I have found to be very handy is the M-Plate Pro https://customslr.com/products/m-plate-pro?variant=206881239
It will attach to both Manfrotto and Arca Swiss tripod/monopod heads without detaching the sling strap. I like using a sling strap and now I no longer care if a tripod or monopod has a Manfrotto or Arca Swiss head and I have some of both. It also accommodates hand clutch straps. Even if you don't use a slong strap it is handy to use both types of mounts.

Like the UHH elite say you get what you pay for .... bigger bill at end of the month

I have two Peak straps but at $50 or so they are not, as straps go, inexpensive. I like those little straps for lens caps that go around the lens barrel. Haven’t lost a cap in quite a while. And, I like the dingles for connecting photo cards to my iPad for backup when traveling.

I am happy you are pleased with this strap. Personally I have found that the design of these straps actually get in my way. Guess it is a personal thing. I also have found that holding the camera at my side for any length of time with this strap design ends up hurting my wrist. I always have my vertical grip attached to my camera's and this strap design also hinders me for vertical shooting cause I usually re grip my camera for vertical shooting and the strap ends up in the way.

How does that strap work with a battery grip?

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 like the sound of this. Which corded wrist strap do you use?

The same way it works without a battery grip. The strap is adjustable.

Purchasing a Jobo CPP2 processor. This produces far better negatives, especially 4x5, than anything I'd used previously.

The only draw back is the lack of a quick release. However, the strap is very strong and I like the soft texture. I have never had a problem with it.

got a Heavy Leather NYC strap, They make primarily guitar straps but have a couple of camera straps. Got it direct but think B&H may carry. Needed shoulder strap at least 59' for comfort zone on hip. She will do custom work. But it was the last of the off the shelf 59' now the lenth is 54'.

I use the wrist strap and stabilizer strap together from Cool Camera Gadgets.
