shoulder strap

I use the typical Nikon shoulder strap, I also found it is quite a nuisance while shooting in different angles and it just gets in the way, I was wondering if everyone uses it or have you found a better solution?

I use a BlackRapid wrist strap and RS Sport shoulder sling regularly;

I also have a red version for the hell of it :)
Oh SNAP, I want this STRAP: FroKnowsPhoto BlackRapid Strap | Fro Knows Photo

I use the FastenR mount so I can always have my tripod plate on the bottom of the camera and still use the sling strap mounted to the same mount.

I also have a BlackRapid SnapR case/strap for my compact camera. The strap come apart from the case to make a nice lightweight sling for the smaller camera as well.

Solid products.

I just bought my wife a OP/TECH USA Utility Strap-Sling and she really likes it OP/TECH USA Utility Strap-Sling (Black) 3501242 B&H Photo Video

I have the BosStrap Sliding Sling Strap and have been using it for several years and would not be without it. I can carry my D7100 with the 70-300 on it all day and it is still comfortable. What I like about these is that they do not use the tripod mount so I can use my tripod anytime without having to remove the strap or have some kind of extra contraption on the camera. Many times when I am in a outdoor area that I don't think is a very secure area I will set up my travel tripod and mount the camera on it and still have the strap around my neck so it the tripod bets knocked over the camera and tripod is not going to hit the ground.

thank you everyone, some great straps. I really like the Black Rapid Wrist Strap Horoscope Fish suggested. I am really surprised on all the different designs that have been produced, I just thought that there was only the one type shoulder strap available. The photo world has really advanced:)

When I'm only shooting one body it'll normally have a paracord wrist strap from strapsbyroobs.com. If I need to shoot 2 bodies then one will have the paracord wrist strap and the other will have a modified Case Logic sling. Modified as in I got rid of the center bolt mount and use a Niteize s-beener on one of the body lugs. This allows me to have the ease of a rapid strap while keeping my Arca Swiss plate mounted. Plus I like the way the body hangs from the lug instead of the bottom mount. This also drops naturally out of the way when shooting vertical.
