| ->> My Nikon D2hs strap on my long lense body has bit the dust. Any Suggestions for straps ? I have a Kata Reflex on my other body but I do not like the way it bounces when I have an 80-200 on it. |

| ->> I just got the r-4. AWESOME!!!!! It literally made some quick action shots for me even while I had my 300 2.8 around my shoulder and my Lowepro backpack over it. I never felt the 300, and the swing up ease is great! My top pick, and it works great being thrashed around on a fishing boat! |

->> Think Tank gets a vote for me as well - simple well made and they work, have them on three bodies for about a year now and they still look like new.
Domke -- they fray and the rubber wears out to fast.
UP-Straps - expensive and the rubber grip wore off mine in about 3 months
(big waste of money IMHO) |

->> I'm using two Op/tech Pro Loop Classic straps and I kinda hate/love them.
They are super comfortable and you barely feel them, even with "longer" glass like the 70-200VR.
On the downside, they are a tad bit short, so you cant wear them across your body.
But I will jump on a R-Strap or UpStrap soon, anybody used both?
Which one is better for daily documentary work? |

->> I also like the UpStrap. The pads are super sticky so they stay put on your shoulder.

| ->> Anybody using the one from CPS (Canon Pro Services). I haven't tried mine but it looks comfy but the quick releases make me nervous. |

->> Danny,
I have 2 of the Canon straps and they seem to be working good have not had a problem with the releases. They are more comfortable than the straps that come with the cameras. |

| ->> I put it on my second body so I'll give it a try tomorrow. Anything is better then the strap they give you. I never understood why they do not give you a better strap with the 1 series bodies. |
