Hoodman Klimtouw Nekband (Zwart)

The climbing-rope weave gives it a rugged look that gets compliments on shoots, and it handles my heavy lens setup without sagging. Even after hours of walking around, the weight distribution feels balanced and the grip stays secure.

Finally a strap that doesn't dig into my shoulder during a full day of shooting. The climbing rope texture gives it a rugged feel that matches my field kit perfectly, and it holds my heavy DSLR securely.

The 5 lb weight limit gave me confidence hanging my heaviest body-and-lens combo, and the rope texture grips my shoulder better than any flat strap I've tried. It's been through a muddy trail shoot and still looks clean, which says a lot about the material.
