Originally posted by ixian I've tried a few different neck straps and gave up. They are all horrible. I use Optech wrist strap now, it works, maybe I'll invest in something better, like Camdapter.
Is the Optech one you have the kind which is like most others, or is it the kind that's basically tethered to a band on your wrist?
I've considered both that latter and the Camdapter type (Any Arca plate that'll let me attach a 'grip-strap' to it will do, ) but I deferred the decision once I got comfy with my ability to hang onto my K20d in the usual way. But, now I've actually got a lens that weighs something fairly substantial and the first chill of winter down here is kicking my arthritic ....joints, so I'm reconsidering a bit of insurance.
I was curious how the wrist-tethers work out in practice.
(Come to think of it, Optech has kind of a strange-looking grip strap which I can't quite figure out from the little thumbnails, and which I've therefore been considering 'ruled out.' Anyone know what's up with those? I like the company, but I can't tell if those things are 'very clever' or just 'over-cooked.'
