Our collection of camera straps and harnesses is varied, so we can cater to the range of ways photographers use this equipment. Some of the common types of camera straps and harnesses you’ll find in the digiDirect collection include: 

Camera hand strap

A camera hand strap secures your camera to your hand, great if you’re on the move but only using one type of camera.

Camera body harness

A harness is the best choice for those who know they will be carrying multiple cameras throughout the day or may have extra equipment with them. 

Camera neck strap

A great choice if you want to keep your equipment close at hand. Camera neck straps are made of durable materials like leather or nylon and distribute the camera's weight evenly around your neck. They also usually come with a quick-release button.

Camera lanyards

Camera lanyards are typically used for lighter cameras, as they don’t have the same weight distribution features as a camera neck strap. 

Ultimately, the type of camera strap you use will depend on the environment you’re taking photos in. Choose carefully between leather camera straps and nylon camera straps, and consider whether straps can be adjusted for comfort or come with extra padding around pressure points - after all, chances are you’ll be wearing your camera strap for a while, so comfort is key!

Camera Straps and Harness FAQs

What are the benefits of using camera straps, harnesses and lanyards?

Camera straps help to:

• Keep your camera secure if you accidentally drop it

• Keep your hands free while you’re on the job - especially important if you’re dealing with large groups of people

• Reduce strain on your neck or shoulders, and more evenly spread the weight of the camera

How do I select the best camera strap and harness for me?

There are three main factors to consider when choosing a camera strap or harness. Start with what you will be shooting - a sports photographer will need a camera harness for easy and quick movement, while a portrait photographer will need a camera strap that offers support for stationary positions. You should also consider the weight of your equipment - if you have multiple cameras and accessories to support, you may find a camera harness offers more support than a camera neck strap or camera hand strap, for example. Don’t forget to consider your preferences on style and material, too - you know what will be most comfortable across a day of shooting. 

How do I maintain a camera strap or camera harness?

Inspect your camera strap each time you use it to identify if any spots are becoming worn with use - straps damaged by wear and tear could give way, potentially causing damage to your camera. It’s also best to store the camera in a clean, dry place when you’re not using it to extend its lifespan.
