Over-the-shoulder straps, like the R-Strap from Black Rapid, are much more useful, but cost a lot.

Finally, hand straps are a great idea, keeping the camera secure in your hand without trailing a tail of canvas behind them. The problem is price and quality, and I have never found one that works right.

Photojojo shows you how to make your own. The ingredients consist of a 1-inch nylon strap, a plastic buckle, a bolt that fits the tripod bush and a key-ring. You’ll also need a lighter or a match, but I’ll let you ready for yourself to find out what for (hint: it’s not a celebratory Cuban cigar).
