Originally posted by crewl1 I use the sling strap from Optech.
+1 on the sling strap but I use an Arca-Swiss tripod plate on the bottom which has cut outs for a strap,
Markins PG-34N. One strap goes on the left camera lug, the other goes on the left strap cutout on the plate. Then I use the
Op/Tech sling strap adapter to connect the camera to the shoulder pad. I like the ability to change out shoulder pads or quickly remove the strap altogether when I have the camera on the tripod in the studio. The strap always seems in the way and one more thing for me catch on and pull everything over. With this rig the camera hangs about waist level on the right side, just where my right hand hangs. Easy to grab or to hang onto the camera in a crowd or whatnot.
Maybe it's just me but I would not use a strap with only one attachment point. One to work and one to fail, is my motto. Today I was out taking some pictures of waterfalls. So the OP/Tech strap is on and connected to the camera, when I reach a spot I want to stop, attach the camera to the tripod, and then unclip the camera from the strap. When I am ready to move, reclip the camera to the strap and then dis-connect from the tripod. Ok, so I'm a little paranoid about walking through streams with $1,500 of camera stuff in my hand.
