    Camera strap suggestions

    I was looking for a way to carry the weight of my camera on my shoulders instead of my neck, and I found this.

    Does anyone know if there is anything like this made specifically for heavier cameras? The only ones I could find on B&H were for binocs. and they all warned against using larger binocs with them. Something made out of webbing instead of elastic would be nice.

    Re: Camera strap suggestions

    I use basicly the same harness for my HEAVY leica 10x50 binoculars. The binoculars weigh 2.5 pounds and I WEAR THEM 8-14 HOURS A DAY AT TIMES I carry my 8 pound camera on my shoulder though and it get heavy ;)

    I seriously don't think a small camera (under 3 pounds) would be a problem with this TYPE of harness. The elastic one is the one I use ans after 3 years I need to replace it sometime this year.

    IF you really want to get crazy about the harness..... http://www.kinesisgear.com/h/H717.html
