Nikon Hand Strap II wrist strap as alternative to neck strap
Buying a SLR camera, many wear a complete strap on it. With him, the camera is comfortable to wear around the neck, but over time this strap can cause a lot of problems. What I'm talking about? For example, the camera weighs 1 kg (roughly), the lens is still the same, or even more, plus a flash. The working day of the photographer can last more than one hour and all this good must be carried on yourself. Not a weak load on the neck, if you run with the camera all day.
Quite by chance I stumbled upon a very interesting alternative, namely, a wrist belt, the existence of which I had never known before. After searching, I settled on the Nikon Hand Strap II. This is how this strap looks live:

Paradox, but I have a Canon camera, and a Nikon strap. What can you do, Canon doesn’t have comfortable belt belts. Chinese crafts for 2-3 cu initially not taken into account. And now a few details about the purchase.
The strap is packed in small plastic boxes with company logo:
Included is a manual, which shows in detail how to properly put the belt on the camera.
The material from which the belt is made is soft leather and fabric. The quality of materials is simply excellent, and the cut is made very high quality. Country of origin - South Korea. Previously, it seemed to me that only China produces such small things. But no, it's not all, and this is commendable.
For fasteners, a standard eyelet for the neck strap and a special shoe on the bottom of the camera is used (for a tripod, it is not a hindrance).
There is also a special "adapter" that allows the simultaneous use of both a wrist and neck strap.
Thus, the entire gravity of the camera (flash, lens) can be transferred from the neck to the arm. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of how the belt looks on my personal camera, so I publish a picture found on the network:
I bought a Nikon Hand Strap II for $ 22 with free shipping from a retailer in Korea. Shipping time was about three weeks. Now you can forget about the neck strap. However, there are drawbacks, for me there are two. The first is that it is impossible to quickly change lenses, since one hand is constantly attached to the camera. The second is a memory card - to replace them you have to remove the belt.
Please don't buy much if something goes wrong, because this is my first post. Constructive criticism is welcome. Just want to know what the readers of Habr use. Maybe my choice is far from ideal and there are even more interesting things on the market that are designed to facilitate the work with a SLR camera.
