Tip #32: Straps

Have you considered the strap that supports your camera? If you have not attached the strap, you will eventually need to do so. Be sure you follow the mounting directions. Having the strap securely attached will save you some worry and will come in handy to support your camera.

The strap that came with your camera will probably work just fine. There are alternatives that may suit you better. The strap that came with your camera may also advertise to criminals a lot about your expensive camera, especially with the name of the camera sewn in and advertising what you are carrying.The alternatives may serve you, well, without advertising your pride and joy. The Upstrap is a popular model that provides support and is designed to not slip off your shoulder during use.

I use products from Black Rapid. I like the diagonal carry strap with attachment systems that makes use of the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera body.
