My Nikon D5500 DSLR camera is my baby and I take it everywhere with me. I actually often choose to carry my backpack versus a small purse, so it is easier for me to bring my camera with me. Since my camera is practically an accessory to me, I decided to swap out my kit Nikon strap with iMo camera straps.
Owner Bo-bo is an avid photo enthusiast, but found there was a gap in the market for comfortable yet stylish camera straps. She decided to take matters into her own hands and developed a neoprene backed strap for ultimate comfort with fun patterned fabric on the top. I personally love the use of the brown leather ends and the addition of the quick release to the webbing.
The second strap is the "Navy Rainy Drops" camera strap which is a little more conservative, yet gives a professional look. The fabric is really high quality and the navy blue is stunning in person. To me, this strap is reminiscent of a men's silk tie and I really love that aspect the pattern. Definitely a great strap for professional wedding photographers because it really is a classy camera strap and would go perfectly with a suit! The brown leather ends are a beautiful rich brown and perfectly go with the fabric.
As I have a Nikon DSLR which is considered a larger camera, I was able to get the neoprene straps which have a 1.7cm width webbing. The webbing is the portion of the strap that you thread through the metal D-rings on your camera. If you have a smaller mirrorless camera, the neoprene straps may be too wide for you.
The quick release buckles are great as I do not have to go through the arduous process of removing and re-fastening the strap to your camera. I also happen to be a huge paranoid individual and always feel that I have threaded the webbing incorrectly to my camera, so the buckles give me a little more piece of mind. I like using my tripod with the horizontal position to take birds eye shots, but the camera strap can be really annoying and get in the way. With the buckles, I am now able to remove the straps quickly. Also, you can join the two buckle ends for a shorter wrist strap.
