Tamrac N-11 - Backpack Camera Straps - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I do quite a bit of hiking, hunting, etc - all things outside where lugging around a large pack for the camera is possible, but doesn't make that much sense. As such, I've tried a wide variety of ways to make it easy to get that quick shot while also protecting the camera. I have pouches I attach to my backpack belt for my lenses and the camera itself. The problem was I found myself hanging the camera around my neck as I was hiking and my neck would get sore quickly.
I found this and decided for ~$20 it was worth the try. To be blunt, it is probably the best thing I've bought for hiking with the camera - including all my lenses. This attaches to the camera via clips which appear to be sturdy enough to last for a while. There are two clips to attach to "O" rings on backpacks. Mine didn't have those, but a couple of "D" clips used for climbing got to the same end result.
I tried this out in Zion National Park. We were climbing across rocks (didn't necessarily follow the path...) and this worked great. First, it places the weight on my shoulders, not neck (it did bump against my chest but not enough to bother me). Second, it is at the perfect level (there are adjustments that can be made - although minor) to grab quickly to get that shot of a fleeting bird, deer, moose, etc. Third, it takes seconds to disconnect and stuff into my holster bag - while also taking much less space since there's only a couple inches of strap on each side after it is unhooked.
I highly recommend this to anyone who hikes with a DSL camera!

Black Rapid Straps RS4 Black Fabric, Lightweight and Low Profile, with ConnectR-2 and FastenR-2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A nasty fall some years ago left me in the hospital and gave me permanent difficulties carrying things around my neck. A pound is about my limit. My binoculars at 22 oz fatigue me. My DSLR weighs in at 3 pounds. Carrying it with a normal neck strap starts hurting within 20 minutes. A birder's shoulder harness helps a little but not much. Attaching a padded monopod and carrying the kit over my shoulder was my best answer before getting this strap. That's okay for hiking but awkward in any kind of crowd. With the BlackRapid strap on my camera. I can go out for half a day with just a little fatigue.
Obviously, you don't need a bad back to benefit from this strap. I'd recommend it for any heavy camera/lens combo. The wide padded strap that slings cross body does a very good job of distributing the camera's weight and keeping it inline with the body. The free swing of the camera on the connector allows it to fall - lens down - just behind my hip and out of the way. With a bit of practice it's extremely fast to get the camera up to eye level. It also offers pockets in the strap for extra memory cards, lens cloth or other small extras. Add in easy adjustment, secure, quick attachment and quality build and you've got a winner. This is a substantial and well made product.
The strap uses the camera's tripod socket to mount so you can't use quick release plates. The attachment fitting also keeps the camera from sitting flat on its bottom. So, if you're going to need a tripod camera mount, you're probably better off using a camera bag or a belt holster, which you probably already own. For a hand held shots, though, it's the best thing I've seen.
If you find your camera a bit heavy and your back aching at the end of the day, or if you just appreciate well made, designed and comfortable straps, then here's the most comfortable strap around.

Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This camera strap has a major design problem: there's no security lock for the side release buckles. The side release buckles are designed to allow quick interchangeability with other camera using the same strap. However, the two buckles are too easily releasable and there's no security lock to keep the strap and the camera from seperation. I have used the strap for a week, and one of the buckle got released by itself twice. I had only one camera. Luckily, I didn't drop my camera but I would never use this strap again.

The Transporter by Lowepro was designed for the professional or core enthusiast photographer who works with multiple cameras, binoculars or other photography equipment. The unique design includes a comfortable, non-slip shoulder pad that stays in place even when the strap is adjusted to a variety of lengths or swung completely out of the way while using another piece of equipment. A detachable memory card wallet provides quick access to cards while shooting. Two quick-release buckles make switching from one camera body to another fast and easy while double ladder-locks ensure a secure connection between the strap and the camera for maximum stabilization.

RainbowImaging Innovative High Quality Quick Release Oxford Neck Strap For Canon, Nikon, Olympus. Sony, Pentax, Panasonic , Fujifilm Digital Cameras Review

(More customer reviews)I just Ordered this strap a few days ago. I really like it so far! It handled a DSLR with a Speedlight attached without any problems. Well I did attached it to a mid class DSLR, which is all that heavy.
You might look funny to others...but this way it ensures you that they will copy you or ask you what kind of strap it is. I wished that it came with other colors besides black. And I wished that the Zippered Pocket was alittle bit bigger to store bigger batteries.
If anything arises in the near future, I will revise this review. Thanks and Keep Shooting away...
