The !@#! Nikon D300 neck strap is pretty thick, and I usually have it wrapped around my wrist when I swing the camera out for a shot. However, the strap typically gets into the way too and it&#8217;s pretty comical sometimes when I&#8217;m struggling with the strap just to put my eye into the viewfinder.:) Ok, so there&#8217;re affordable handstraps that you can buy and use. But that typically means you can&#8217;t have a neckstrap and you sort of only have one free hand at any time then.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s an interesting device that sorta combines the best of both worlds. A strap that doesn&#8217;t irritate the neck or obstruct eye to viewfinder movement, and still looks secure enough to allow quick handling of the camera.<\/p>\n<p>httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6EbaQaDiFoE<\/p>\n<p>Only problem though is it&#8217;s crazily expensive.:(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most tricky things about tottering around a heavy DSLR is the sustained fear that you&#8217;ll accidentally drop the damn thing when trying to swing the camera out for a quick shot.
