No one likes to use painful camera neck straps. In the earlier days, dealing with neck pain from camera straps was inevitable. These days it is no longer necessary. Why? Because there are alternative solutions to carrying your camera. You didn’t think we would expect you to carry your camera by hand, did you? That would just be silly.

The fact of the matter is that there are now comfortable camera neck straps because they do not even touch your neck. Instead, the straps that we recommend wrap around your shoulders. It’s the difference between carrying a backpack with two shoulder straps or a weight that hangs only from the neck. The shoulder straps even out the weight and therefore take all the strain completely off of your neck; thus, camera neck straps that do not cause pain!

Camera Harness with Ring

The two devices serve exactly the same function in slightly different ways.  Your camera will be carried with you and you will still be hands free either way you do it. Using camera neck straps that do not touch your neck, also known as camera harnesses, will simply eliminate the familiar pain you are used to feeling at the end of every camera-toting day. Now those are some pretty cool camera straps if you ask me.
