Up Straps

[GMCPhotographics]

I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences with Up-Straps?
They are a simple design and certainly a no-frills approach to camera strap designs.
I tried one out a few weeks ago and they really do stick to one's shoulder.
Anyone tried these?

I have one for each body. For travel and general walkaround they are the best option IMO as the body stays secure on the shoulder.

I've owned three, all different. One with the kevlar through it, etc.

As "neck" straps they are not that comfortable.

As shoulder straps, nothing beats them. They stick like glue. If that's important, they're the best, hands down. Highly recommended.

PS: Hey, Connie, I know you're a bit on the wide side, but I didn't know you considered that more than one body. ;) :lol:

That's because they aren't neck straps. Like saying my pants ain't so comfy as a shirt!

Yeah, yeah, what eva. :lol:

Just pointing out the facts for the less than knowledgeable, that's all. :lol:

They are great. I've gotten rid of everything else.

I don't find them uncomfortable at all as neck straps.

They do stick like glue to your shoulder - a very nice relief from hanging on my aged neck. They come lose when you want to shoot with a little shrug and don't bind.

When worn on the shoulder, as intended, IMO there is no better strap.

They're the only ones I use. Great straps.

I agree with everyone else. If you want it to stick to your shoulder this will do the trick.

I like those straps, but I generally carry the camera across my chest, and that strap doesn't allow a quick move to the eye. The R strap lets the camera bounce around on my hip too much.

I use the PacSafe as the strap slips through the shoulder pad and allows fast moves to the eye while the pad stays on the shoulder.
