Domke 740-6BK 1-Inch Web Strap without Swivel (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently, I bought an old 35mm rangefinder film camera, a Canon P made in 1961. It didn't come with a strap, so I ordered one of these Domke camera straps. This strap is made with heavy cotton webbing, with rubber strands weaved into the webbing on the underside. This works well in stopping the camera from sliding on my neck. It's also the right length and adjustable.
What I particularly like about the Domke straps is that it doesn't have any advertising on it. I hate straps that show the Nikon or Canon name in bright letters. I don't want to be a walking advertisement and I don't want to draw attention to my camera or myself. These Domke straps are discrete, comfortable, secure, very durable, functional, and they add a nice touch to my classic camera. By the way, they now come one per pack--not six like they did before. I guess that was a mistake that they've corrected.

Tamrac N-5059 Leather Padded Digital Camera Strap (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The manufacturer's picture of this strap isn't very good. So I took a shot of it myself and uploaded it here so that you can appreciate it. At the center is a suede padding that stops it from slipping while it's around your neck. It's light and comfortable. When using your camera on a tripod, if you want to remove the strap to get it out of the way, you can easily unclip it near the base very easily. The clips are very sturdy and they've never come undone on me in the nine months I've been using it. See my photo to understand what I mean.
The biggest reason I bought this camera strap is because I didn't like the one that came with my Canon 5D Mark II. It has red trim says in very large letters "Canon EOS 5D Mark II" I don't mind showing off that I have a cool camera, but I don't want to advertise for Canon as I walk around outside. This strap makes my camera a bit more discrete and looks much cooler.

Promaster Contour Pro Strap, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this strap to replace the one that came with my Rebel T1i. The main things I was looking for in a strap were comfort and the ability to sling my camera over my shoulder and carry it by my hip. This strap comes through on these desires and then some.
The total length of the strap is 52 in, not including the extra 1/2 inch used to safely secure straps. If I add in the width of my camera on the straps, this gives me an effective 4.5 Inches. The total circumference of the oval made by this strap can get around ~56 inches. Now, I'm a pretty big guy, I stand about 5' 10" 5' 11" on a good day, But I have a rather barrel chested build, so I tend to wear my strapped items, backpacks, book bags, golf bags, at their extended limit. This strap goes around my body over the should and comfortably rests on my hip. I believe that a skinnier person of great heights could easily wear this strap at the same position. and this strap will probably fit most people including the lovely ladies at heights less than mine.
I believe that it is pretty obvious that I find this strap to be comfortable, I walked for 10 miles the other day with a decent sized 250mm lens and never felt it. The neopream really does a great job at absorbing the weight of the camera system. I doubt it will do anything to help out with my Bigma 150-500mm lens, but I haven't tried it.
As far as the price goes, amazon sells this strap at a reasonable price. I bought mine at a local camera shop. I may have paid twice as much for it, but sometimes it's nice to support the local guys, not that I have ever had a problem with Amazon (as my purchasing history will prove.
This strap does have a nice quick release system for tripod use, now I know that most finer caliber straps have this feature, but to me this was a very nice addition. I was always slightly annoyed by the unused neck strap just sloppily flopped over on it's side while not in use. with this strap I can disconnect the strap easily and quickly from the camera, thread it through a belt loop and reconnect it to securely get the strap out of my way. all that is left are two insignificant straps that I can either let dangle discretely to the sides or better yet reattach them around a secure section on my tripod for added security.
I would love to say that I am as big a fan of the quality as the rest of the features, but one of the straps slipped and came undone before I even had a chance to fiddle with them. if it weren't for some quick hands on my part, I wouldn't be so favorable with this product. I don't know if a kid had messed with mine in the store, I can't imagine Promaster letting this be standard practice, just another reason to shop with Amazon, there Amazon you happy now? I guess this will show me for trying to support the little mom and pop store during a down economy. :)
Overall this is a great product, I have not had a single indecent since that first day, so I know the quality of the product is certainly top notch.

Lowepro Voyager C Camera Strap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like Lowepro equipment and have quite a few of their items. So I was pleased to see that they had come out with a line of straps. I was particularly attracted to the non-slip grip feature. I just put the strap on my Canon 20D and am very disappointed. First, the strap is rather short with no capacity to make it longer. The worst part ... the non-slip grip feature is totally ineffective. It wouldn't stop anything from slipping off your shoulder. It doesn't even feel tacky. My old UPstrap is going back on the camera and this thing is going in the trash. What a waste of money! Why did I give it two stars? I don't even know!

Black Rapid RS-5 Black Camera Strap, Front Media Pocket, With "2 Quick Release Plates" for the Manfrotto RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this strap in conjunction with my Canon 5D Mk2. I've previously (still) own a Rebel XS and a T2i. I vehemently dislike neck straps. They're uncomfortable around the neck and they force the camera to hang awkwardly, especially with a long or heavy lens. In general I use a hand strap for added security when working with my camera but really needed something to carry it, secure it when walking, allow me access to both hands. I have a Cotton Carrier system that I use under certain circumstances but it's "I'm wearing a bullet-proof vest" appearance tends to draw unwanted attention at times.
The Black Rapid RS-5 is a great solution for me. A single side slung strap with a loop mounted carabiner attaches to your camera. Supplied with the strap is a mounting stud which can be screwed into your camera's tripod mount, or alternatively in the case with those using Manfrotto connection plates, the carabiner can be attached to the hasp. This is a great arrangement as it allows me to keep the plates in place on the camera (or long lens tripod mounts). The strap is obviously adjustable so you can get the camera hanging comfortably at your side but still swing it up easily. A padded shoulder sleeve provides for a more comfortable experience. It also has several zippered and magnetic closure pockets for small item storage (phone, battery, memory card, keys). Two adjustable inline clips on the strap help to keep the sleeve and camera in their respective places, preventing them from shifting out of place during movement from carry to shooting and back again.
Overall a really great system. This particular package, RS-5 Strap with two Manfrotto RC2 plates was a real bargain as the plates typically go for $15-20 each.

Tamrac N45 Black Leather Padded QuickRelease Camera Strap (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are many cameras on the market today that are on the heavy side. If you use a light weight camera, a new strap is probably not a desire. For the rest of us, we should consider upgrading the manufacturer provided camera strap.
My camera is a Canon 20D weighing about 5 pounds by itself and comes with a durable fabric neck strap. The supplied neck strap is simple, basic, and advertises Canon boldly. That may be okay if you don't make much use of the strap or use light weight lenses. Take my camera however, and add any one of my heavy L lenses to it and the supplied neck strap can still do the job, but becomes a pain in the neck.
This strap is made for comfort. The pad helps to absorb and distribute the weight of your camera. The suede cover on the pad is smooth enough to feel pleasant on the skin while being rough enough to not slip around easily. The suede covered padding is attached to an adjustable nylon strap which contains a quick release buckle near each end before the strap attaches to the camera.
Having the buckles come in handy when the strap just gets in the way. This usually happens when the camera is used on a tripod. Pressing the sides with your fingers releases the buckle for quick removal and only the piece connecting the camera to the buckle remains. Push the buckle back together and it snaps into the locking position.
Back to the bold advertising, some people feel such items bring attention to their camera equipment. This may cause one to think thieves are paying closer attention to them. While I think seeing the camera is enough to get a thieves attention, I don't really know if this is a legit concern. If it is your concern this strap does have a Tamrac label on it that could be removed or worn against the body so it is not seen.
If you are planning to replace your camera strap, this one is build to do the job and be comfortable.
PROS:
High quality durable construction
Comfortable padded neck
Quick-release system
CONS:
No viewfinder cover

California Sun Sniper Steel-Steel Reinforced Padded Camera Sniper Strap (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the product. It's exactly what the description says it is: comfortable, convenient, and the embedded steel wire certainly brings peace of mind. If the product looks like something you'd want, it will most likely suit your needs beautifully. The elastic-y bounce controller makes for an especially comfortable camera-lugging experience.
However.
The $500 dollar insurance (on the model with the steel wire insert) should not factor into your purchase decision. First of all, I purchased this product in July and the insurance expires on October 1st. That's 3 months.
Second, for legal reasons, this insurance is offered for free to the consumer, i.e. not embedded into the price. I've noticed that some of these straps are selling at a higher price "with insurance" and for less without. Do not be fooled, they all come with the insurance. Get the cheapest one you can.
Third, to cash in on the insurance, one must submit 1) a police report thoroughly detailing that the camera was cut off of your person through the cord, and 2) the strap itself. The problem here is that if the strap is cut, it's probably going to be stolen with the camera and you won't be getting that $500.
Fourth, your camera and accessories attached to it (which aren't covered, by the way) are worth far greater than $500.
To conclude, this is an awesome product with a stupid marketing ploy attached to it. I fully support the strap, just don't let the insurance factor into your purchase.

OP/TECH USA 1001082 Super Classic Strap-Loop for cameras and binoculars- neoprene (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for my 40D. This is the most comfortable strap I've ever worn. The neoprene body is stretchy with little silicon knobs on the inside to keep it from sliding. The quick connect system is great and will lock together when disconnected to form a quick wrist strap. I recommend the pro loop connection rather than the strap connection because it falls away from the camera when set down. Quality is excellent and it is 100% made in the U.S.A. which is important to me. For the price it is absolutely the best value for your money and you won't be disappointed.

OP/TECH 1501372 Pro Loop Strap for Camera Equipment (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are two versions of the excellent camera strap. There's this one and then there's the Op/Tech Pro Camera Strap 3/8" - Black.
There are two differences (besides cost).
This strap is considerably shorter. To my mind you can always make the longer strap shorter but once you've let this one out all the way that's all there is. I'm 6'3" and with this strap let out all the way I can sort of comfortably carry a camera over my shoulder. If I want to put the strap over my head it is very uncomfortable.
The shorter strap uses a loop through attachment while with the longer strap you need to thread the strap through your camera eyelet and then the strap buckle. I purchased the shorter strap (not realizing how short it was) for the convenience of the loop attachment. After buying the longer strap I've found that threading the strap isn't that much less convenient.
My suggestion would be to buy the other, longer strap unless you are certain the additional length will not come in handy. Either way, these are extremely comfortable straps.
Additional details about the length difference:
One strap has a max length of 46" and the other a bit over 56". The difference is the length of the two attachment pieces that connect either end of your camera to the center strap. The shorter strap comes with these: Op/Tech System Connector #9 Uni Adapter Loop, 10.5" - 13.5" (26,7 CM - 34,3 CM) each side and the longer one with these: OP/TECH USA System Connectors 3/8" (9,525mm) - Carrying strap connector - black (pack of 2 ). You can see that by going to any of the larger camera store sites and reviewing the details listed there about the two straps. Just google: "Op/Tech 1501372" and then "Op/Tech 1501012" to do searches on the two different straps mentioned in this review.
I found this out the hard way, by ordering the shorter strap without knowing the difference. I "fixed" it by ordering both the longer version of the strap and an extra set of extensions.

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.

Quick Neck Shoulder Strap for Canon Nikon Sony Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this shoulder strap for one week. I love a shoulder strap so much better than a neck strap. Its so much more comfortable. The only problem with this shoulder strap is the clip that attaches to the camera is chinsey. it broke while I stood in my driveway and my camera (d700) and the brand new lens (Nikon 24-70mm 2.8) went crashing to the concrete. Luckily, it landed on the edge of the lens protection filter, which was the only thing that broke. I immediately bought some new hardware to repair the broken part. I was very disappointed that for how much this strap costs that they didn't use better hardware. THE CLIP IN THE PICTURE IS NOT WHAT I GOT.

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.
