I realized I wrote this up in the August end of month update, but I also wanted to give it its own entry so it’ll be easier for others to find it. If you end up getting a neck-ache from your camera strap after a long day of photography, I strongly encourage you to invest in a camera strap/sling. I’ve been debating it for a year or so and finally did it, and only thing I can say is I wish I’d done it sooner…
I bought an Op/Tech Utility Strap – Sling camera strap, on the advice of the folks at Central Camera in Chicago. Here’s a photo from the Op/Tech website so you can see what I mean:
It’s great to have the camera on the side as you walk around, and then you can move it up when you need it, glides smoothly. I used it on my recent stock photo day and didn’t feel anything on my neck after a long day – Highly recommend it!
Best wishes on YOUR photography adventures,
Susan
