Camera strap

[donoreo]

I have been meaning to ask and keep forgetting. I want to replace my camera strap with a better one. I never put it around my neck, just over my shoulder and the one that came with my camera is not the best for that.

Does anyone have a recommendation? I am cheap too, you must bear that in mind

I use a cheap Chinese knockoff (very cheap off eBay) of a Black Rapid strap (not very cheap at all!) - in fact I've two and keep one attached to my 500 and the other ready for the camera or other lenses. Only ever use the neck strap when changing lenses

I am in the same position and I am looking at a black rapid if you have a link to cheaper one can you post it thanks

Ok, Black Rapid straps are expensive. Do they come with a naked woman to put them on for you?

I think a neoprene one is my best bet, but I second the link request!

Here's the one I got (although I paid only half that - direct from China)

Here's what looks like the equivalent in North America

Hi Don,

I don't know if you're still hunting for a strap.

I had a case for my lap top, but never used it (always used the backpack). I noticed that the shoulder strap was wide and substantial so I nailed it to the Nikon. It works beautifully and is very comfortable both round the neck and on the shoulder (and cheap!)

Unfortunately the Nikon no longer works with a dirty big hammered into it!

See the post above, I got one. I am going to convert one of my laptop bag straps to a tripod carrying strap when I get around to it.
