Do You Need a Camera Strap or 3 Point Slinger for Your Camera
When we take pictures in the park, we may overlook the experience of the shoulder strap. In fact, for the shoulder strap used with the camera, is a point that can not be ignored. I have often seen people who have been using the original matching shoulder strap or no shoulder strap at all, but there is no denying that a well-configured camera strap can be more comfortable and efficient to shoot.
The strap is often not the most fascinating camera accessory, but when you rely on photography for a living, it is important to find the right one, especially the 3 point slinge for camera. to stay comfortable under long shooting conditions, but also to pick up the camera in time not to miss a shot, a good strap is essential.
For amateurs, the strap that comes with the camera may be enough, but if you are a professional photographer, the requirements for the strap mount are changing. When shooting some weddings or outdoor music festivals, I may use two machines at the same time, directly with two different focal lengths of lens will be much more convenient to change the lens time you can waste how much time and critical shooting time; and if I go to shoot some closer occasions, such as group talks and theater performances, I will bring only one machine lightly loaded.
Camera straps
There are many different kinds of straps, and different kinds of straps are used in different ways with the camera.
The normal models are divided into long and short models, long models are suitable for crossbody, short models are suitable for hanging on the chest.
Some can quickly adjust the length, another functional straps such as fast straps, shooting can be easily moved from the side of the body quickly to the location of framing. There are also fixed on the side of the camera, suitable for lightweight and compact camera wrist strap. As well as, fixed at the bottom of the camera to increase the grip of the hand strap.
Shoulder strap for beginners is a very useful camera accessories, can be very good to carry, to protect the camera will not fall off the ground, but I found that more and more photographers remove the shoulder strap never used, why is it? The reason is simple, the shoulder strap will affect the stability, when there is wind the shoulder strap is more likely to be blown up with the camera shaking. I usually focus on time-lapse photography, pre-shot screen shaking is required to avoid as much as possible. So most of the time the role of the shoulder strap can be said to be more harm than good, naturally not on the shoulder strap.
However, this is not absolute, such as shooting on the roof or cliffside, you can tie the shoulder strap to the side of the fixed object (if any) as a safety, to prevent the camera was touched down. In short, three words: it depends. If most of the time on the tripod shooting, then the shoulder strap is not so necessary. If the day-to-day is street photography capture, news events, portraits, etc. need a long time handheld, there may be a change of lens and other operations of the shooting, then the shoulder strap is very useful. In addition to the main video shooting photographers are generally not used shoulder straps.
