[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 697341, member: 43545"] Another vote for Black Rapid. Mine is from when the company first came out with the sling strap 10-11 years ago and it has been an essential part of my kit whenever using the DSLRs. The strap connects to the lens foot on anything that has a foot. The largest lens I would let the camera support would be a 24-70 2.8. It is a great way of keeping both hands free in difficult or crowded areas, and have the camera ready to use instantly by just sliding it up the strap. Shooting events, in the wilds, just walking around the city or sports shooting. I even use it in the studio so I can move around lights, pose etc without concern of dropping the camera. Neck straps for even light cameras are a pain in the neck....literally. Our necks are not designed for lateral pressure but can handle vertical weight at high levels, so carrying a DSLR by neck strap is the worst way to suspend a camera from the body. A sling strap across the body removes tension from the neck and allows us to comfortable carry fairly large lenses with comfort for 10 hour weddings and other events. [/QUOTE]
