seems like a potentially interesting idea. Wonder how it would work with smaller cameras, though.

Binocular harness

Binocular harness

Has anyone ever attached a binocular harness to their camera? They allow you to keep your binoculars at chest level and then pull them up to your eye - never saw anyone use one for a camera. Experience anyone?

Pretty neat idea.
The target market is obviously people with big cameras and lenses, but if the small version can hold a compact camera so it doesn't bounce around even when jogging, I may get one.

$70 bucks....

I will keep with my grippers.

Not a bad looking product...it would work for the gear I use...

Well, after reconsideration, I like the idea of dual attachment points on a strap like this which lets you carry the camera around your body. I currently am using a Y-Strap, but not with a Leica as I don't like hanging it from just one lug. I still think $70 is a bit much for a web strap with such basic connection parts. But I like the idea.

I agree. Neat product but $70 seems a little...too much

How about this one?

Those really interested in a sling-slider-strap thing might find the following discussion worthwhile:

Not specifically to this strap, but do not underestimate the importance of a good strap. I spend a lot on my straps (as much as $129) because I want them to be comfortable and yet not bulky or stupid looking.

Well.... don't hold out on us. What strap are you using?

My guess ... A&A silk cord strap 😀

I would love one of those, but they too are a bit pricy for me, plus I have two Luigi straps which are the bomb if you want an around the neck strap. (as if these aren't too expensive, but I bought them a while ago, in a different time, different life. 🙂)

Yeah, that is my preferred strap (actually the black label bags version which is a bit longer than the A&A). Ridiculous to some, but it is the only accessory I use (i.e. no grips, soft releases, filters, hoods, thumbs-up, etc.) and my camera is around my neck for hours at a time.
