Camera Strap recommendation for DSLR

I like the Op/Tech brand straps for heavy cameras.
 
This one has worked well for me. Amazon.com: OP/TECH USA Utility Strap - Sling (Black): Camera & Photo and the price was right.

I have this. more often than not, i go without a strap all-together.

i can't shoot with it connected to the strap, I need to convert it to attach to the lower screw.

Ah yes. I use it with this extender. Amazon.com: OP/TECH USA 1301052 System Connectors (Extensions)-Adjustable Extension pieces for OP/TECH USA Straps with Quick Disconnects: Electronics

With the extender the camera hangs (adjusted) just short of my arms length. I also like the quick disconnects.

It holds a 60D w/300 F4 very well for me - even when I have to let go for a few seconds. View attachment 63948

that would probably solve my issue. Doesnt help the man boobs issue and making them more prominent...

OMG! Don't even get me started on the man boobs. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. IF YOU HAVE THE MAN BOOBS, THIS IS NOT THE STRAP FOR YOU!!!!!!! WARNING WARNING.

Yup, I got them, the strap emphasizes them (well at least the right one), and doggonit I am just about too old to care. I do bring it up to wifey and thank goodness she is too......young to care or invested to give a crap :lmao:
 
IF YOU HAVE THE MAN BOOBS...

It's just not right, everything was fine then one day looking in the mirror... ?

On topic, I use a Joby over the shoulder camera holder, the only thing I don't like about it is having to make sure the screw is tight.

Ok, so we can talk about guns but only in an artistic way but need to avoid politics, religion, and man boobs. Etiquette is so darn complicated.. lol

Lol @ man boobs - I don't much thing about your man boobs - more about the heart that lies beneath it ;) ,,,,,,,be proud of what you got --- not everyone can carry them off lol !:lol:

"not everyone can carry them off" Hmmm, I read that as my man bra does a good job?

I think this is one of those times when you'd probably just better go with, "Sure Honey, that's why you're the brains of the outfit and I'm just the one with the pretty hair." Lol

Um, you have not seen me with my hat off yet. Before :afro: After/Present :er::oldman:
 
thanks guys! seems black rapid is getting good feedback!! I think i like the idea of having the strap screw mounted and not on the sides. Have to check this black rapid!! It's more comfortable as a shoulder strap when carrying it after sometime as compared to a neck strap.. checking the sick Red monkey..hehehe since i'm interested on the leather camera strap i guess just look seems alright.. had checked this kawaprogear, its still on kickstarter for a crowd funding. Hope this gets funded.. it seems its a professional looking leather camera strap...
 
I like the black rapid strap too. I was a bit hesitant at first to hang a D800 with a heavy lens off the tripod mount on the battery grip though. I just make it a habit to check tightness now when I use the camera.
