Walk-around solutions? (not lens related)

Hi everyone,

I'm going to Italy in a few weeks, and I intend to be on my feet all day taking photos. Here's my issues though: In past trips, walking around all day with a camera on your neck gets tiring, and also, the thing bounces around like crazy. I do have a backpack, but I don't want to keep taking it off and putting it on to get my camera out.

Is there anything like a harness or strap system that lets the camera / lens rest a bit differently, so that it is easier to walk around all day with it, and still have the camera be easily accessible?

Thanks so much for your input!

Look into BlackRapid straps.

I couldn't find anything that suited me so I just made my own out of stuff I had lying around. Namely a spare strap from a backpack, a QR clamp that needed a home and an Eye Bolt from E Bay.

Mine is intended for larger lenses (300F2.8 to 800 F5.6) so would probably be overkill for your needs, but with a 1DX and 24-70 F2.8 you barely know they are there!

Try some DIY?
