Lowepro Transporter. Another alternative belt for SLR camera
Since the theme of wrist belts aroused interest among the subscribers of the hub, I decided to share a story about another one of my camera accessories, which was acquired not so long ago. This time it is a Lowepro Transporter belt:
The model of this belt is not new and is on the market for several years. I first noticed it on sale back in 2007, but when I came to take it six months later, the belts disappeared from sale. I didn’t want to buy at exorbitant prices over the hill.

Then I somehow forgot about him, but after the usual neck strap got me to the edge, I immediately remembered him. Yes, it was first bought hand, but then came the turn of Lowepro Transporter. What is he good at? Let's take it in order.
Sold strap in this form:
The country of origin is China, but it is difficult to argue with quality. It differs from the usual, above all, in that it has detachable slings. Among other things, the length of the belt can be changed, there is also a removable pocket for two memory cards.
The lining under the neck moves freely, and on its inner side there is a silicone coating. I mean, this is done so that the camera does not slip around your neck or clothes. And in general, such a lining feels much better compared to a standard belt.
Staples triangles will be relevant for owners of Nikon cameras older versions, and for Canon, you can simply remove them. I note that earlier in the kit there were circles, and now triangles.
Now a few words about the latches:
They are completely plastic and, perhaps, for some, such a design may cause concern. In fact, nothing terrible - the camera will not fall. The principle of operation is extremely simple: the heavier the camera with all the mounted devices, the stronger the clamps hold all the equipment on the shoulder / neck, etc.
Finally, a pocket for memory cards:
There are two Compact Flash cards inside without problems, which will always be at hand. At any time, you can unfasten your pocket (by the way, it is velcro).
I think the cost of Lowepro Transporter is quite humane - about $ 15. What is surprising, but in Europe and even the states I have seen prices at least twice as high, and we (Ukraine) have a direct attraction of unprecedented generosity. It is worth adding that Lowepro has other belts, but they are, in my opinion, not as universal as I have discussed above.
