Bron Imaging Group has reinvented the camera strap, which should benefit travelers toting bulky cameras. Designed to improve both comfort and security, Bron’s Sun Sniper Pro padded adjustable camera straps are nylon and reinforced internally with steel wire, so they won’t break and can’t be snipped off by would-be thieves. Unlike most conventional camera straps, which buckle or hook onto metal loops on the sides of the camera, the Sun Sniper attaches via a stainless steel ball bearing that screws into the tripod port at the bottom of the camera, making for more flexible movement when lifting to shoot. A built-in elastic shock absorber reduces the jarring impact of jumping or running.
Sun Sniper Pro camera strap, $88 (a narrower Compact strap for smaller cameras is $62); or 800-456-0203
