Cameras on regular camera straps – especially big cameras and lenses – really can hurt your neck and back.  Not to mention that they hold the camera in the wrong place – always banging against other people and just generally in the way.  If you have been looking for a camera strap that will not give you back pain then look no further.  The Sun Sniper actually has a note from an orthopedic doctor explaining how the Sun Sniper camera strap will not hurt you back – actually the Sniper strap puts the camera in the place where it actually promotes the correct Kyphosis (curvature of the spine).  So if you have got back pain from your cameras, then try the doctor recommended Sun Sniper straps.

Dear Mr. Geller,

You demonstrated the SUN-SNIPER STRAP for cameras to me.

The SNIPER CAMERA STRAP fits very ergonomically to the body. The diagonal path of the strap enables the camera to be carried on the photographer’s side, unlike other straps that suspend the camera in front of the wearer’s chest or abdomen. This is much better for the back, because strain to the kyphosis is eliminated.

The – elastic – shock absorber section of the strap acts as an excellent buffer.

For all of these reasons the SUN-SNIPER is highly recommended from an orthopedic and sports medicine point of view for carrying heavy cameras.
