Dan's Sling Camera Strap 1

[SuperEcho777]

When you using the camera to focus, rather put your hand UNDER the lens than on the top because you forcing it downwards instead of LIFTING it up.....

i do a lot of nature photography and this is a nice way to use in an urban environment, but its seems kind exposed down there on the hip, i can just see all sorts of thorns and brush raking across it, even if you block it a bit with your hand, needs some kind of slide stop so you can adjust how high up it is, bonus is this keeps it out of the way if you are also using binos

i was gonna say too, that looks almost exactly like the rstrap lol. except on rstrap you can put memory cards in it also.

[Katrinamusic1]

Wow! Looks like the Rstrap but not nearly as good.

[thenyismylove]

omg dont jump anymore or just give me the camera jeez.

[PumaM90]

@thenyismylove i do a lot of jumping with my camera, would you like me to stop jumping and simply give you my camera?

[thenyismylove]

@PumaM90 please???!!!!!

That's fine if you wear a jacket all the time, to keep the camera out of the way. But the problem with all of these "sling" type straps is without a jacket, the camera is in the way of your hand when you walk.

[quintupletsrule]

hey,

what kind of jacket are you wearing? its pretty cool.

For gawd sake buy an R-Srap and don't jump! If you use a Domke gripper strap you can hook the quick release clips together to form a safety strap for this kind of system (R strap).

The Slingers version is garbage - hardware store grade eyelet etc. Stay away. I've seen them all and the R is the best hands down. No sun-sniper - crappola too.

Nice one, I may have a go at building my own.

[Shmithers]

Looks like the R-Strap. I don't like giving up my tripod socket, so I use a different way.

Btw please turn your lens hood around, or take it off, that's something that frustrates me when I see people leave their lens hoods backwards.

[bvangumoney]

the jumping will ruin the camera lens and shutter......

[ls1z28chris]

@bvangumoney I'm glad he sacrificed his equipment to show me that the clips on this rig are secure.

[Jontiac]

yeah, i gotta gripped 5D mark II... no way I'm gonna let my cam swing around on the side of me when I'm walking around and accidentally clip it with a handrail or something like that.

this would work great for a rebel series with kit lens, though.

The jumping part is scary as hell.
