Hi , I am thinking of buying a new camera strap,preferably one that I can detach quickly.I have seen the joby 3 way strap and would be interested on your opinions of it or can any one point me in the direction of a good strap.The joby fits into the tripod thread on the camera but looks to me as the camera would be at an awkward angle when walking around etc.

Any advice will be welcome

Regards Adrian

Hi that's one of my problems there are no camera shops left in Bedford apart from currys etc and they will not stock straps etc and I have phoned some shops in surrounding areas but they don't want to know so it looks like gambling on one online which could be money wasted if I don't like it.

I'm not sure where abouts you are in the UK Ade but if you can get to the NEC Birmingham for the Focus on Imaging show I'm sure you will find plenty of straps (and other gear) to look at and try. And there's ususally (a bit of) discount on most things.

Hi ade

Check out CarrySpeed I've just ordered the FS slim with the F1 mount plate. The reviews that I have seen are good and it looks quite comfortable.

Go for a Black Rapid, best strap I have ever used, you hardly know you are carrying a big hefty camera and lens, it hangs nicely at your side.
