Will be carrying 2 bodies and lenses this weekend including a 70-200 lens. Can anyone recommend a suitable neck strap in place of the one that comes with the Nikon D700? Happy to use third party.

Thanks!

Not a neck strap, but have seen the Cotton Carrier, /www.cottoncarrier.com/. I don't have one but it looks interesting. Right now I like the R-Strap. You could take a look at them also.

For very heavy setups, like a 1D and 70-200 f/2.8 or 100-400, it's hard to beat an Op-Tech Utility Strap mated with a set of pro loops. It's wide and comfortable but not bouncy like the Pro Loop.

If you wear your cameras on your shoulder, there is nothing better than the UPstrap http://www.upstrap-pro.com/

I just spent a day & 1/2 at a car show with my 1Ds2 & 24-105 slung from a Crumpler Industry Disgrace strap set very long. I carried them across my chest and was able to pull the camera up & shoot without changing it to the neck slung position. I was quite happy with it, but I've also bought an Op Tech & longer straps to try at my next outing to see if it's better / worse / or similar. I am a bit concerned about the quick connects that it uses, so may add a safety strap (tie wrap or similar) to them.

Can I ask where you got your Crumpler strap from? Can't find it outside the US and it looks to be what I need. Thanks!

i use the thicker domke camera strap, doesnt slip, doesnt draw attention to itself and packs away nicely.

I found it at a local camera store (Henry's) and at a lower price than sold by B & H. I had read a review of them and was thinking of ordering one, but accidently spotted them while shopping for a specific camera bag. So far I like it quite a bit, but I haven't yet used the Op Tech long enough to properly compare them head to head. I will be shooting an event next week where I'll have 2 pro bodies with heavy lenses on all day.
