New Strap

[SAM81]

Hi all

I am going on holiday in a couple of weeks and am looking for a more comfortable strap for my camera than the stock Canon one that came in the box. The stock one seems to rub quite heavily when used for long periods of time.

Does anyone have one they would recommend?

Well thanks everyone for the advice, but after some searching on this forum and some recommendations on talk photography I went for the quick strap...

Will update this thread when it arrives but it seems to be a decent copy of the black rapid system

Peak's straps are immense. Had mine a day and you can feel the toughness throughout. It's rated to 45KG of weight so plenty of give and nothing is going to accidentally unclip and fall off.

The strap itself is like a seatbelt kind of material.

Yeah, I noticed these. Look really good, probably would have gone with one if they could have delivered sooner (I go away in two weeks). One to consider in the future...

Anyway, it arrived today, ultra quick delivery (I ordered Wednesday evening). So far.... well I've not had chance to use it really. I think i'll naturally be cautious on the first few outings, probably having it hanging off the hip with one hand underneath it (which actually feels quite natural)

Build quality seems good, and the sling style is infinitely more comfortable than the standard sort of strap, so regardless of which brand you chose, I would encourage anyone to give that style a try.

Will post more thoughts when Its had some use.
