Default camera strap

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I can get a shoulder strap? I am look for something that will go with my nikon d90 and will fit across my shoulder so it hangs across my body not just on the one shoulder. i have done some google searches but coming up with nothing. i have seen them around in pictures but have no clue where to get one! thanks

Try blackrapid.com, they make great straps - expensive but wonderful.

Those are very similar to the blackrapid straps, and not much cheaper.

I picked up a Black Rapid cheap off eBay. But it took a long time of stalking the listings everyday till a good deal came up. It was worth it though. Best strap I ever owned!!

another plus 1 for the black rapid... very nice strap and i can leave my tripod head plate on the camera and attach to it. Comfortable, quick and effortless to use.

Love my Black Rapid! First strap I have ever owned that is actually comfortable to wear and it is quick on the draw. Another benefit is that it is easy to put it across your shoulder first and then put on an overcoat, or rain jacket. Helps keep the camera out of the weather while you seek out that perfect shot.

Just got a Black Rapid strap in large part due to the positive response to the strap from this site, and I must say, while I've only used it twice, it's been wonderful.
