Sun Sniper Sniper Camera Strap
supersize


Description:
From Sun Sniper:

The fully adjustable strap allows you camera to glide easily along the strap. When not in use, your camera will hang comfortable at your side or behind you depending on how you position the strap. When you need to shoot, just grab the camera and pull it up into shooting position. The strap will stay in comfortably in place on your shoulder as the camera slides along the strap on its unique sliding carabiner. This is the perfect strap for photojournalists, sports photographers, nature photographers hiking or climbing, urban warriors who need to keep the cameras out of the way while working through the crowds, and wedding photographers. Sniper is the ultimate strap for the serious shooter.The strap is also designed to maximize ease on your back. This strap is so good that it not only reduced back strain, but it actually helps keep the curvature of your spine going the right way. With the Sniper strap you can carry those big lenses all day long.

Pros: Great for heavy cameras/lenses, much better than a neck strap!
Cons: Not ideal for all situations

I needed a better strap than the plain Pentax provided one to support my K10D + grip and 300mm f/4.

The strap connects to the tripod mount of the camera or lens. I use it over my left shoulder with the camera resting on my right hip/buttock. It's extremely comfortable and the built in elastic shock absorber does a great job of absorbing the bounce of the heavy camera as I walk around.

The camera rests very naturally and sits right along my body when using the strap. It's very easy to grab the camera and bring to eye level for a shot. Much better than having it hang from my neck or trying to grab it out of a bag.

The downsides: You could carry a bag on the other shoulder, but this seems to work best if I'm only carrying the camera. That means no lugging around tons of equipment. Today, for instance, I hung my extra lens on my belt in an accessory case. Since I have a grip, I already have an extra battery and memory card in the camera. I put a lens cloth in my pocket and I was all set! It was kind of nice to be unburdened of my full camera bag.

Obviously if you need to use a tripod then this strap won't work well for you. Also if you do need to carry a backpack or bag then this may get in the way too. But it's great for any sort of walkaround photography with limited gear.
