Odom Member Posted March 10, 2015 Member Share Posted March 10, 2015 Check out the Jobys I mentioned. I thought the same too. http://joby.com/camera-straps/ultrafit-sling-strap-for-men Today I'm finding all kinds of useful links posted in Neowin. I have been looking for something like that for some time and never found any in the shops. Thanks very much!! Oh, and I use the standard neck strap that came with the Nikon 7100. But I think that will change soon. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy2005uk Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 After shooting at a comic con over the weekend I want to get a new strap now and it hurts my neck after having it hanging all day. Where would you guys recommend picking one up from? UK based ideally. Not sure what style would be best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I don't know if I would ever have my camera without my bag... especially as I am attending a theme park. My Crumpler bag hides it well in the bottom pouch.

hekkyUK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I've always been the kind of person that hates having a strap on my camera. Last week I upgraded to a Nikon D5500 (my first SLR) and now I feel I need a strap as it's quite big (and the Nikon supplied one was useless) one so I got one on eBay for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
