The default carrying solution – neck strap – has a couple of disadvantages:</p> <ol> <li>It’s extremely tiring for the neck muscles</li> <li>It’s very fiddly, and gets in the way too much</li> </ol> <p>Most of you might already have faced problem #1. Problem #2 is something you might not realise, until you start shooting without the camera strap. I let my cameras go without the strap a couple of years ago, and now I can’t even think of having to shoot with the strap on the body.</p>
