This is mostly a more philosophical/toilet thoughts topic but…
Does any of you use them? For me, their quality/becoming a living ad aside, I pretty much only use sling straps, and they are just too short for that. Actually I feel it’s pretty crappy they can only be used on the neck, where even an average mirrorless/lens dangling for hours d certainly hurt you, instead of explaining/giving some alternative options new people could be oblivious about.
Isn’t it also a bit odd how manufacturers include just the same strap from their most entry models, up to the multi-thousand dollar flagships? Like, I don’t expect a PD strap with a, dunno 4000D, but wouldn’t you expect better if you a shelling $4000 or something?
Anyway, dinner time!
I think as you get to pro cameras, anyone who cares about their straps probably either already has their own strap setup for how they shoot, or very specific strap requirements that it’s not just a matter of “spend more to give them a better strap” as no matter how nice a neck strap might be, I’m not gonna swap away from a blackrapid style strap for 90% of my shooting, other people might never swap away from a bag clip system, other people need dual camera strap setups etc,
