Lowepro Transporter. Another alternative SLR camera strap

    Since the theme of wrist belts aroused interest among the subscribers of the hub, I decided to share the story about another of my accessory for the camera, which was purchased not so long ago. This time it is a Lowepro Transporter belt:

    The model of this belt is not new at all and has been on the market for several years. I first noticed it on sale back in 2007, but when I came to take it six months later, the belts disappeared from the sale. Well, I didn’t want to buy it at exorbitant prices over the hill.



    Then I somehow forgot about him, but after the usual neck strap pulled me to the edge, I immediately remembered about him. Yes, at first it was carpal, but then Lowepro Transporter came. Why is he good? Let's go in order.

    The strap is sold as follows:

    The country of origin is China, but it is difficult to argue with quality. It differs from the usual one, first of all, in that it has detachable slings. Among other things, the length of the belt can be changed, there is also a removable pocket for two memory cards.

    The lining under the neck moves freely, and a silicone coating is applied on its inner side. I mean, this is done so that the camera does not slip on the neck or clothes. In general, such a lining feels much better compared to a standard belt.

    Triangle staples will be relevant for owners of older Nikon cameras, and for Canon they can simply be removed. I note that earlier circles came in the kit, but now triangles.

    Now a few words about the clips:

    They are completely plastic and, perhaps, for some, this design can cause concern. In fact, it's okay - the camera will not fall. The principle of operation is extremely simple: the heavier the camera with all the mounted devices, the stronger the latches hold all the equipment on the shoulder / neck, etc.

    Finally, a pocket for memory cards:

    Inside, without problems, two Compact Flash cards are placed, which will always be at hand. At any time, the pocket can be unfastened (it is, by the way, on a flypaper).

    I consider the cost of Lowepro Transporter to be quite humane - about $ 15. Surprisingly, in Europe and even in the states I saw prices at least twice as high, and in our country (Ukraine) there is a direct attraction of unprecedented generosity. It is worth adding that Lowepro has other belts, but in my opinion they are not as versatile as I reviewed above.
