Out of all the camera accessories I have ever tried, and man have I tried a bunch, My best one, by a county mile, is the side holster made by "Cotton Carry" to carry your DSLR hands free. It's basically a tough nylon holster with heavy duty velcro that slips over your belt that holds your camera with the lens pointed downward. You first have to install a small nylon mount/plate in your tripod screw hole and thats about it.The holster itself is very lightweight, very portable and super durable so far. The camera slips into the mount at a 90 degree angle and removes the same way.It would be pretty difficult for someone to try and steal the camera off your side with this system. Ive used this holster hiking, biking and normal walking (for miles) with my old D7100 and my current D750 with the 24-20mm attached with no problems whatsoever (about 2yrs use now). Its defintely my go to rig for hands free carry and I never leave home without it, Simply awesome !!

Guess its changed over the years but the best one for me now is the Black Rapid Sport strap,dont think i would be able to carry my camera and long lens any where near as far with out it.

Mine is the Rapid, soon to be superseded by the Slide from Peak Design and the capture clip that is coming soon :D

I use the BosStrap which is very close to the Black Rapid except it is designed to attach to one of the side lug instead of the Tripod mount. I can have the tripod attached and still have the BosStrap around my neck/shoulder which is nice when you are on uncertain ground or even when you are walking around with the camera on the tripod.

This is a hard question since I have so many awesome accessories! The spider holster like your cotton carrier, Gitzo tripods with ARCA SWISS ball heads, and more and more!

But my Nikon sb-800 flash has to be listed up there as one of the best, because it has done a lot to help get shots that otherwise might have been lost or sub-par! :)

It's a tie between my Peak Design Capture Pro and Hoya CPL filter.

My Garmin GPS. It gets me to, and from, places smoothly and quickly. Sometimes, I just travel the back roads looking for photo ops. Eventually, I have no idea where I'm at and the NUVI gets me home. I can also store all the locations I visit for future use.
