I don't know, this strap is kinda sexyy :) ;)
And it feels AMAZING!! Neoprene that forms to your neck, thick straps that wrap down your shoulder to your chest when camera is just chillin. And it has perforated padding for good ventilation and comfort.

so do they make one without the advertising on it? nice thread was going to post one just like it how about leather is there one out there made of high grade leather for feel and comfort ..sorry no intention to hi-jack your thread just thought I would ask..

This is the first time I've seen one with EOS branding. Most of them have a small crumpler logo. They don't have any in leather. I would think leather straps would be undesirable due to them making you sweat when worn on skin, or am I missing something?

EDIT: That's very likely an Industry disgrace from Crumpler, possibly a limited edition. The website is in a response on the first page (too lazy to go link hunting).

That's a crumpler industry disgrace branded with Canon logos. I think they were sold to pros through Canon Professional Services.

I recently got a luma loop and I really like it.

It is similar in concept to the r-strap but it doesn't shift when you bring the camera up and is incredibly comfortable.

Either way, the black rapid system or the luma loop is much more comfortable than a traditional neck strap.

I used to have a Crumpler Industry Disgrace and I really liked it when I had it. It was comfortable and distributed the weight of the camera well, but it was still a neckstrap which was a problem when you have more gear hanging from your neck. I recently picked up a BlackRapid RS-7 and I love it! It's so comfortable and heavy gear feels almost weightless.

Right now I just have the basic neck strap that comes with the 60D - you guys have any favorite neck/shoulder straps?

I love my Black Rapid StrapS RS5[/URL]. It's got everything I need in a strap. Low Cost too!

As an avid amateur photographer, I have a large inventory of straps, bags, and accessories purchased over a long period of time. I'm always in search of just the right "one", and am hard to impress. A friend recommended this product to me. I looked at it online and thought, "well, that's interesting...", but did not buy it. Then, at his house a few weeks later, I picked up his camera and tried the strap - it was amazing.

If you've ever put a DSLR with a long zoom around your neck, you know how cumbersome it can be. If the zoom is large enough, it can even appear you are in a goofy 'zoom envy' contest. More importantly, the camera - regardless of the lens - is always in the way. This is both akward and puts your gear at risk of damage, especially in tight spaces.

With this product, which I immediately ordered (that night on my iPhone from Amazon), all of that changes. The camera hangs, perfectly balanced, at your side. It is right there when you need it - and gone when you do not. It is stable when you walk (even a brisk walk / run), and can be brought into position instantly when you need it. Go to their website and check out the videos.

The build quality is also excellent. I don't know where the product is made, but it's design, engineering, and construction are top quality. I'm hard to impress, but these guys have done it.

If you like to shoot - but don't enjoy a bouncing camera on your chest - buy this product. You will not be disappointed.

Of the dozens of accessories I have purchased (chargers, covers, bags, straps, tripods, lights, reflectors), I can say that this is the most game changing product I've ever purchased. They have literally reinvented the camera strap. Strongly recommended.

Brendo, is that an EOS branded Industry Disgrace? I must have it! Where can I get one?

Yes it is an EOS Industry Disgrace. Got it off ebay, found it from a seller in Hong Kong

I have seen one that looked somewhat like leather but i doubt it was real. It was a couple months back.

Its is an industry disgrace, not sure why they made these but i just had to have one. Also had them in black with white embroidery

Just purchased the Black Rapid Sport, have used it last couple of days at lacrosse games...love it

I like mine, but it does shift a bit, and can feel awkward at times.

Anyone try the Luma loop?
It is similar to the R-strap but looks like it may be made better.

It looks like it is good. I have never tried a sling strap so i wouldn't know how they are supposed to feel. I'm not sure how that thinner comfort pad would feel when having some heavier gear attached to it.

When I made the switch from a neck strap to a sling, I was amazed at the difference. Carrying the weight of your gear on your shoulder is much more comfortable than around your neck. It distributes the weight over a larger area, so it feels lighter.

I think I am going to grab a RS7, it isn't as much for the weight distribution but being able to shoot without pulling the camera on and off my shoulder. I also find I have to constantly readjust the strap on my shoulder as it slides off.

As a father shooter, I frequently need to have access to my hands, so I have to constantly put it on and off my shoulders. If it works well it would be a huge help.
