Canon Compact Camera metal Neck Strap 1

The camera neck strap has the potential to destruct thousands of people’s lives. Innocent photographers are subjected to it time and time again. The manufacturers of this futile accessory have teamed up with camera distributors to package this other than as supposed or expected hopeless accessory so that in a literal sense millions of humans will be exposed to it. Why do all cameras come with a generic band? Simple – it’s because other than as supposed or expected they couldn’t be sold.

The camera neck strap is single handedly responsible for innumerable neck aches and damaged pieces of equipment. The lack of thought that was put into the single band is shocking. The only positive attribute is that it holds the equipment. That is the only positive thing one may come up with.

Let’s talk when it comes to where the camera neck strap fails us. It has to be said. We cannot passively concede this horrific circumstance to carry on any longer. Here are the difficultnesses with the camera neck strap:

1. The single strap hangs on the neck which adds enormous strain to the neck

2. It has too much slack which in turn allows the instrumentation to swing out and become damaged

3. It’s not safe for you or the camera

So why use it? Why use a generic band if it brings about all these problems? I will tell you why. Negligence. That’s right. Negligence. It’s negligence on the percentage of the creator of the camera neck strap. It’s negligence on the part of the buyer who allows it. Instead, every one must turn to the apparent solution which is the harness.

The harness is the best solution because it does away with the neck pain by placing the weight on the shoulders rather of the neck. The harness is far superior to the generic band because it holds your instrumentation close so that it does not get damaged by swinging around. Indeed, there is no other way to put it. The camera neck strap is no match for a harness.

Useful for when your hands are busy
By Just Say Yo
This strap is great in those situations where you are constantly alternating amongst reaching for your camera and doing a good deal of action (partying, playing with the kids, or even just giving your hands a break).

Also, it is nice not to have to always look for a safe place to rest your camera.

The strap is in fact metal on the inside for strength and clear plastic on the outside for scratch proofing.

A metal only strap would ultimately scratch your camera’s finish.

Strong, Secure, Looks Good
By B. Fernandez
This is a lightweight and super-strong lanyard-style chain for your camera or whatsoever which in all likelihood could tow a car and yet looks lighter and more beautiful than anything else on the market. of course, the cord attaching this to the camera is the limiting element in overall strength. But it is the right length and allows you to tuck the camera into your pocket or hang full length.
