Five things to look out for

1

Generally speaking, the wider the strap the more comfortable it will be, but this adds to the overall bulk.

2

Slide straps are worn across the body and dangle the camera upside-down, attached via the tripod socket.

3

Dual harnesses hold two cameras at the ready, and are ideal for wedding and event photographers.

4

Adjustable straps are important for ensuring a comfortable fit for your height when you’re out and about.

5

Colour options are as important as comfort to many photographers – straps don’t have to be boring black!
