p.1 #1 · help w/ strap for 1d

Hey everyone. What would you recommend for a neck strap for use with a 1D series camera? I want something a little nicer than the standard canon strap and preferably with a "quick release" system. I already use the canon hand strap and that works great for most things, but I need something to use when I have two bodies in use.

Thanks!

i got a padded / neoprene crumpler for my 1D2, it's pretty nice, and is a bit longer for wearing under one arm

I bought my Optech Pro Loop after countless people on this forum recommended it and I'm glad they did- its a great strap. I like the concept of the 'Rapid R' strap but its way overpriced IMO.

I use a Domke 1inch quick release strap on my 1Dsm2 and a domke 1.5inch quick release strap on my 1dm2. Love them. They're small, with a swivel metal release and not a plastic buckle clip like the my old QR optech. They're small, but well built so they don't get in the way. They aren't nearly as comfortable, but for eveything they offer for me, it was worth the trade off.

+1 for the Crumpler Industry Disgrace strap.
it doesn't have a QR which would have made it the perfect strap but its extremely comfortable.

I've had it for a month or 2 now and i've carried my 30D gripped + sigma 70-200/2.8 around for hours and it was very comfortable.
