QUESTION: Neckstrap design for heavy cameras
Hey, all.
I have a Canon 30D with a battery grip, and just ordered a 70-200 f/ 2.8L IS lens. I'm a little concerned about the overall weight of the setup. I've currently got a 70-200IS, and with the camera and that lens hanging around my neck I start really feeling it after only a little while. It's the pressure the strap puts on my neck that kind of adds up after not too long. It occurs to me that some kind of little harness setup, with straps hanging around a person's shoulders instead of around their neck, might make for an easier way to sling the camera while wandering around. I've also heard of folks jamming the tripod hook under their belt, and hanging the whole setup off their waist. Curious if anyone else has had any brilliant revelations to keep their necks from getting strained from carrying that kind of gear around. Thanks, BD |
