Straps and Cases

October 13, 2013

These are small, but vital items -- at least if you want to use and protect your camera gear.

1D grip strap

I dig some searching and dug around on the B and H website, then finally asked for advice on the FM forums: I ended up ordering the Canon E1 strap (used) from B and H. This item is apparently now discontinued, being replaced by a crazy expensive E2 strap, which also connects to the tripod socket (as do others). Cowboy studios is selling an E1 clone. The guy who recommended it says he likes it better than the original. The "Camdapter" is well liked, but you have to buy two pieces. The strap itself, and a fairly expensive metal piece that screws into the tripod socket. B and H has these. Camdapter Another recommendation is the Markins strap (full leather, $59).

Pelican 1510 case

This is a bulletproof hard case that is well regarded.
