Hello, I'm wanting to purchase a neckstrap...I'm out of the country so I don't have too many options... it's either the, "Lowepro Transporter Neck Strap" or "Lowepro Voyager C Neck Strap"... I think the only difference is that the first one you can adjust the length of the straps and the second one is more contoured... Does anybody have any of these or would recommend one over the other? Thanks.

If it's a neckstrap you're after, I'd consider the Crumpler Industry Disgrace.
It's extremely comfortable, and very adjustable.

It costs a bit more than most other neckstraps out there, but it's extremely
comfortable for long periods of time.

I put the Lowepro Transporter neck strap on each of my 60D bodies and find it to be a major upgrade to the Canon straps. The part around the back of the neck is comfortable and stays put as you slide the rest of the strap. There is also an SD card holder that will hold two SD cards. Although i have not found a need for the quick release connections, they have potential as well.

I got the Voyager C.
Its pretty decent, comfortable on the neck, but I find it a bit too short.

I've had the LowePro Voyager C and the Speedster. The Voyager C is made from contoured neoprene and is quite comfortable. The Speedster is very much like the Domke Gripper, but wider. Both are good straps.

Sorry to bump up an old topic but I didn't see the point in creating a new one.

Can the Lowepro Voyager C be used as a shoulder strap as well and if so, does it come with the tripod piece?

I only use my Lowepro Voyager as a shoulder strap.

Consider the Crumpler Industry Disgrace neck strap. ;)
