When it comes to accessories for cameras, there are literally a plethora of good choices from which to choose. Think about it – creative, artsy people have cameras. They are the ones with the inspiration to take beautiful photographs. They are also the ones with the inspiration to come up with clever and very useful accessories. It is almost impossible to figure out which of the many options would qualify as the best camera accessory. Let’s look at the options, shall we?

What is the most overly used camera accessory there is? Probably the generic neck strap, right? I mean, it’s every photographers’ staple in the collection of camera accessories. The problem with this particular staple is that it can feel like a staple in the neck after a few hours. It’s literally one of the most uncomfortable things around since it puts all the weight of the SLR camera right on the neck. Suddenly a few pounds of a camera feels like a million pounds of bricks. At the same time, all photographers are willing to deal with it because let’s face it, they need to be hands free.

It would make sense, then, that the best camera accessory is one that makes the equipment hands free and yet is not responsible for giving neck pain. Such an accessory does seem to good to be true; however, a camera harness is just such an accessory. And yes, that would make it the best. It removes any possibility of neck pain because the straps wrap around the shoulders and not the neck. Truly, ’tis a wonderful thing.
