Best way to carry your camera is one that you personally are comfortable with.

Thanks for the video. I use a strap, and keep it attached while shooting. My hands aren't as steady as they used to be, and the benefit of that is if light is bad, or I'm using a long lens, I can put the camera to my eye with strap round my neck, tighten the strap by wrapping round my wrist so camera is clamped to my head, and stabilise the camera down to a slow shutter speed.

Thank you for making this video very short and on point. Good job!

Love the overview and the aestethics of the video. Very well done and straight to the point!

Great Video Dude. Everything is perfect: angles, lighting, editing, gear 😊

Peak design sells an add-on to their capture clip which they call pro pad, which I really like. I also have the slide but in general I prefer having the camera firmly attached to my belt since it allows me to move more freely. Sure I could use the capture clip together with the sling but I often have two cameras on me and I don't really see the point of being able to quickly detach the camera from the sling, I just pull the sling over my head if I need more leeway.

I’m glad you included the Falcam strap mount! I use this with my PD Slide strap and it’s a game changer! I use it in conjunction with the PD Clutch and it is so fast to access my camera! I also have the Falcam backpack mount so I can still mount my camera to my backpack when I need to! Peak Design really dropped the ball with their quick release system and Falcam stepped it up and built the system that PD should have built!

My favorite way to carry is the Peak Design capture clip mounted on a gun belt. Kore Essentials has a lot of very attractive “normal” looking belts…they’re designed to carry heavy gear.

I add the Peak Design Pro Pad to the setup as well, but this is optional. I skip actually feeding the belt through my belt loops, which avoids weighing my pants down…just throw it on over top of everything, and you have a hyper minimalist, hands free solution that keeps all the weight off your shoulders. Perfect for me.

Great video, found the information very useful, while also being enjoyable to watch.

I started shooting PJ assignments back in the early 1970s with a pair of Nikon Fs with 35mm and 85mm lenses mounted and found the most convenient way to carry them was to put a key ring loop through the right strap connector then connect both sides to a long shoulder strap to it with a swivel dog leash snap so the camera would hang lens down at my hips. I still use the same strap / single connection point technique with my Canon R6mkII but with a QD connector which I attach either to the SmallRig cage on the camera which has a QD socket when using short lenses or the QD socket on the Kirk feet of my 100-500mm and 800mm lenses.

This is actually the best video about this topic so far, keep it up man!

[RockyGoesHiking]

Great overview with many options that I did not know yet. There is still one more product which you could mention called Cotton Carrier.

[JMSobrevilla]

[JJSchlechte]

great vid, look forward to seeing more!

[fanpandatastic]

Great video dude! Subscribed. Can’t wait to see your backpack video

[ATAR]

Good content. Thanks. After trying a lot of different options I’ve ended up going with a PD Leash, Cuff and 5L sling as my go to set up.

[jayforcinema]

You got a sub, Richie :)
Looking forward to more videos from you soon

[timothy]

the ultimate for me is combinng the leash with the clip 3. I LOVE the clip 3, ive got 2, one on my bag and one on my belt.

[gregcorker]

Nice video. Most of the time I use the PD Slide and 10L Sling Bag. Thanks for the info on the FALCAM 38 Shoulder Strap. I’ll have a look.

You should really try the BlackRapid Sport sling, it's amazing! It sits between your shoulder, armpit and waist, and you can adjust both the hanging and shooting positions so they're exactly where you want them. I'm using a pretty heavy lens with this and it's great, really distributes that weight, and I'm ready almost instantly when I want to shoot. And, bonus point is you can quite easily hide your camera under a jacket like this, too.
