Camera Straps Pt.II
My first post on finding the right camera strap was getting a little long, so I decided to add an update as a separate blog post. In the first post, a reader asked about a strap that can be used like binocular straps. I found a couple of examples online and linked to them in my response; so check that out if you’re interested.
I then ran across an attachment that lets you use your exisiting camera strap like the previously mentioned R-Strap. It’s called the C-Loop.

In the prototype department, Olympus filed a patent for a camera strap that will also serve to block glare on your LCD screen. Personally, it doesn’t look very practical and I think you’re better off getting a Hoodman Loupe
Finally, another design that turns your camera strap into a solar panel to charge your camera while you’re shooting.
The Olympus strap will not make it in the real world, but the solar strap would be something I would really be worth checking into.

I agree. If either prototype made it, it would be the solar strap. Not sure how practical it would be though.
