[QUOTE="traceyjj, post: 342639, member: 27458"] Once again I come here picking everyones brains. I am about to get a D800 (I hope) but I want a comfortable strap to carry this camera with the 28-300 lens. In recent months I have got used to winding my neck strap around my wrist a few times with my D5100 when we are out on long walks for a couple of reasons... firstly its more comfortable to walk with the camera NOT hanging from my neck (I'd been getting neck pains with the standard strap) and secondly I found it easy to use that way while walking around. Are there any good straps that will ease the neck pain on a larger/heavier system (if I were to carry around the neck), and what other alternatives are there out there? My local camera shop mentioned [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/OP-TECH-SLR-Wrist-Strap/dp/B00137NMMW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1407685104&sr=8-3&keywords=op%2Ftech+straps"]these straps[/URL] but they didnt have any left in stock to show me. Are they strong enough for the D800 and 28-300 combination? (They seem rather cheap to be carrying an expensive/heavy combination) Many thanks in advance for all advice/guidance T :) [/QUOTE]
