BosStrap is other take on the shoulder-sling college of camera straps. I'm so used to wearing cameras opposite my trunk - bandolier-style - that even seeking at somebody's bad neck being dragged down by a periodic tag creates my muscles ache.
The BosStrap tag differs from many other designs in a key way: it joins onto your camera's tag lugs instead of screwing in to the tripod mount. This is conceptually better, as the lugs were written to take the weight of a camera, and a tripod-screw can unscrew.
The pack comes in two parts. A BosTail, that threads by the strap-lug similar to any other strap, and terminates in a steel ring. The other segment is an tractable webbing double back with a locking offshoot on the end. This hooks in to the tail's ring. The soothing seatbelt webbing keeps it comfortable, and the comparatively far-reaching 1.5 in. rope distributes the bucket of a complicated camera.
The advantages of shoulder straps do not finish with their comfort. They are often longer than neck-straps, and the camera is hold down at your hip, tucked out of the way. This protects it and stops it bouncing off your swell as you walk. Also, the single-point accessory keeps the tag out of your way when shooting. And in the box of the BosStrap, its free-spinning steel joint means no tangles.
The BosStrap (which should be more amusingly re-capitalized to BossTrap) will cost you $40, and includes a tail. More tails may be had for $7. Available now.
