If you thought that the world began and ended with that uncomfortable and often feucha strap that you are given with your camera, nothing is further from reality, luckily for us, there are plenty of better options to transport our camera is the type that Be more comfortable options, more resistant and with a much cooler and more personalized design than you can imagine. Moreover, not everything starts and ends with the camera hanging around the neck, there are many options even to carry it up and down, almost as many as photographers and photographers are in the world. Well, maybe I exaggerate a little, but there are many and yes, surely there is an ideal for you .
NECK STRAPS
These are the classic ones, the ones we all have and have had, this is the date (oh no!) That they gave you with your brand new SLR, that scratches you, bothers you and that does not help you feel like going for a walk with your camera. Luckily there are much better versions, better materials and better designs. Because this is the belt format that I think we all have (and should have) regardless of whether we also use other formats. You have them in cotton with leather, only leather, neoprene ... and with hundreds of designs and prices. This one, for example, is on Amazon and only costs € 7.99 . You also have the finest and sturdy leather type that you can find for (price not available at this time) on Amazon. Or if you prefer this one, made with neoprene and that adds small pockets where you can store small objects such as memory cards. You have it on Amazon for € 13.99 .HAND STRAPS
I do not recommend them too much for those who have a heavy SLR because you can end up with a disgusting doll , but they are ideal for small compact or small cameras in general. Not so much perhaps to carry it hanging (or yes), but as a way of insurance against falls or theft. Bringing the camera adjusted to the wrist will save you more than an annoyance, so if you have a compact of those that accompany you everywhere in a pocket and you thought that a strap was not necessary ... Well, for me it is highly recommended that you do a . You have this one, for example, of rope and leather for € 12.99 . Or a somewhat more expensive version € 31.73 . If you are looking for a wrist strap for SLR, there are also, do not worry, because if what you like is to carry the camera in your hand, this option is very interesting. You have this style, which holds the camera to the wrist and in turn to the camera for a better grip. Your price: on Amazon. Another version is that offered by the hand-camera grip but without the wrist part. Especially for large and heavy cameras, it gives us security when taking them and lets us rest our hand a little. There are all kinds and prices, but I have one that looks like this and with which I am very happy, so this is what I propose . You can find it on Amazon for (price not available at this time) .
SHOULDER STRAP
Another version to carry the camera is to carry it on the shoulder as it is here. It is well supported and distributes the weight better, allows you to have your hands free and, best of all, has many and very good opinions on Amazon. And all for € 15.90 .HARNESS
Harnesses are designed, above all, for those people who need to carry more than one body at a time. So you can free your hands, distribute the weight evenly and avoid typical pain (which you probably already know) in the neck, shoulder or back, and at the same time have both cameras available quickly and comfortably. You can find many types and prices, such as Amazon for € 27.99 . Here you have it in a slightly lighter version. You can find it for some (price not available at this time) . Every photographer is a world, right? The good thing is that for almost every one of us (and us) there is the completely perfect trip. And if you hit the strap or the system that best suits you, believe me, the relationship with your camera will improve and your photography, consequently, too. Because everything we do, all the steps we take, should focus on facilitating the relationship with our camera. And the more comfortable our system is to load with it, the less laziness will let you go for a walk camera in hand (or shoulder, or neck ... ). What do you think? Have you seen something that could be interesting to improve your relationship with your SLR ?, with your compact? If so and you think that someone else might be equally interested or interested in doing so, share it on your favorite social network. Thank you and see you next time.
