I always hate the neck straps. I have long simply kept a hand strap. but I do not always completely clung which always presents a potential risk. I discovered this type of strap recently, and I adopted right away. It was always the handy device, the weight is not felt at all and everything is secure. Nevertheless expensive product for what it is. In addition, when using tripods often (bulb or night mop) it immediately becomes quite boring because you have to detach / reattach. Then there is the other system (a kind of multi-well plate) for connecting both the plate and tripod both the attachment of the strap.
