There are shoulder sports straps on eBay for about 10$.

Do you mean that your plate can accomodate a strap fixed to it? My Vanguard arca-swiss plate does not. That could be an interesting solution, not perfect but interesting.
Originally posted by LaurenOE Personally, I don't understand folks that carry their cameras around exposed on ANY strap.
To each his own, of course. It depends on what I'm shooting, which bag I'm using, how I'm carrying my equipment and what equipment that is.
Originally posted by LaurenOE While I keep straps on all my cameras as safety devices for taking picutres or moving around, the camera quickly goes back in the bag when I have finished taking pictures and move to the next location.
Sometimes that's what I do with my messenger bag. When hiking, for instance, it's not really a good idea, because I'm using a backpack.
Originally posted by LaurenOE I know I will get some flames here, but deep down I think it has more to do with "Look-at-me-and-my-expensive-camera", so it's no wonder folks use the 1/4-20 tripod socket, as they are only concerned with "posing" with the camera!
It might be the case for some, trust me when I'm in the middle of the woods it doesn't apply to me
Originally posted by LaurenOE I started to make a little video, but as I held the camera to video, I kept getting boob shot in the frame, and I'm too embarassed of my weight gain to make one where you see me in action using the Digital Holster.
It's up to more attactive women to demo photo products.
We'll let you be a judge of that.
Originally posted by VisualDarkness it must really suck walking around being afraid of being robbed. I'm glad to be naive and feeling safe enough when walking around during my regular days to be able to live a non-restricted life when it comes to things like this. Though I know people have different levels of carefulness and live in different places in the world and sometimes it's just to accept fact and change your way of life according to it but I try not to get limited by other peoples lack of morality as I feel like I'm the one losing more on it.
I live in a city with 700k citizens and less than one murder per year. Security has never been a concern.
Originally posted by SOldBear Mine has an Arca-Swiss compatible plate too. I think that's the intended purpose
What do you mean?
The Op-Tech strap seems excellent. I live in Canada but will try to find it around here.
