To avoid dangling your DSLR camera from either your shoulder or your neck, the StrapShot by Cotton Carrier is a practical way to carry your camera without it swinging around.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company's design allows you to mount and secure a camera on the strap of your backpack or your pants belt, while keeping your hands completely free. Priced at $90, the StrapShot comes with a regular camera hub and a camera tether, providing a secondary support system. The system comes with a secure camera locking system with an instant release system, making it a perfect addition to your hiking gear when you want to quickly snap a photo of something. The strap itself looks like a cellphone pouch that you can strap on to your bag strap, but comes instead with a hooking mechanism where your camera can be latched onto.
