Of all the accessories that come with photography, your camera strap is probably not one you think about very often (if at all). However, with several pounds hanging off your neck for often hours at a time, it is something you should give a bit of consideration, and there are more options than you might have realized. This great video will show you a variety of straps, what they are useful for, and how they can improve your comfort.
Coming to you from Mike Smith, this excellent video will show you different camera straps and how they are used. A lot of people simply stick with the default strap that came with their camera. I was certainly guilty of this, but as I started using larger and heavier bodies and lenses, I became increasingly uncomfortable, as the strap had no give and had no ventilation. One of the best investments I ever made was buying a premium strap that had a ton of cushion and ventilation and elastic connectors to give the camera a bit more give. As far as general photography accessories go, it was quite affordable, and it has made a huge difference in my comfort level. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Smith.
