Promaster Contour Pro riem (Grijs)

I was skeptical that a strap could make such a difference, but the contoured shape distributes the weight of my medium format camera perfectly on my shoulder. The gray color looks more professional than the black ones I've had before, and the rugged neoprene feels like it will hold up for years.

The neoprene padding really does make a difference on long shoots—my neck feels fine after carrying my DSLR all afternoon. The contour shape keeps it balanced against my shoulder, which is much better than a flat strap. It's comfortable enough that I almost forget I'm wearing it.

I switched from a basic neck strap to this contoured neoprene one, and the difference on my shoulders after a two-hour shoot is huge. The padding distributes the weight evenly without slipping.
