Peter Jordan Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I never use the straps that come in the box. Firstly I don't like straps (or indeed clothes) with writing on, and secondly because they are nearly always too short. I recently bought http://www.kata-bags.com/camera-strap-pl-camera-strap - very comfortable to use with soft neoprene shoulder pad and long enough that I even had to cut a bit off.

Allan Bell Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I used to use neoprene camera straps with my Canon equipment but now I'm using Fuji X-T1 and X-E2 I use the straps that came with the cameras. The equipment is light enough not to cause problems. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Well, I thought long and hard about it, and I started my own little business! Www.warblerdesigns.com Take a look and let me know what you think! M Good luck. I'm a big fans of warblers (esp blackcaps: singing as I type). But £30 for a strap? Er, no. That's what I pay for a car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptoprocta Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Whatever you use, keep checking it. I was very happy with my OpTech, but I'd had it for years, and last month it suddenly snapped on a fold, crashing my camera and lens to a hard path. The camera is cosmetically damaged, knocking a LOT of any resale price, the lens is a huge repair, at the insurers, could take another month for them to decide if they'll repair or replace. Heck, I pay a lot more as I 'earn money from my photo equipment, you'd think they could sort it out quicker. Hopefully they were underpromising on date. That said, I'll get another OpTech and examine it - no other type I've tried distributes the weight as well. When you think about it, trusting thousands of pounds worth of equipment to a £30 strap is a bit insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Because of my neck issues, I haven't installed a strap on a camera for years. But I'm thinking about it for the Fuji, since the camera is so much lighter than the Nikons. Maybe the neoprene. Even so, I think it would hurt me. A harness might work, but I hate the way they plaster clothing against the body. I like air circulation and not to have certain thing delineated.
