Goodbye to the garish, inept horror story that is the Canon strap.

Here you can see what I am going on about – fancy being a walking billboard for Canon? Heck, I just paid them nearly $5k for the gear – if they want me to wear that, they need to pay me. Plus free repairs for when it slips off my shoulder. The Upstrap has a broad rubber pad with nipples on both sides. It is far more comfortable and simply does not slip. This is the SLR model for cameras over 2.25 lbs. I used to use the lighter RF/DC variant on my Leica M2 and M3.

Here you can see how it is threaded so that the ‘tail’ can be folded in between the two sides and retained by the slider. Neat.

Recommended without reservation unless, that is, you prefer gold chains displayed on your chest.
