The best camera straps are well worth the money if you carry your camera around for long periods of time. Yes, most cameras come with a strap in the box. But the ones on our list will be much kinder to your neck and shoulders, save you from aches and pains after a shoot – and look better designed too..

Good straps don't just provide comfort but added flexibility too. Many of the best camera straps are cleverly designed to switch between modes, so they can be used as a neck strap, shoulder strap, or even a sling-style strap. Like all the best camera accessories, these camera straps can also be stylish and colorful.
