A camera strap is an accessory designed to secure a camera while allowing for easy handling and transport. It typically attaches to the camera body, providing support and stability when taking photos. Camera straps come in various styles, materials, and lengths, catering to different preferences and needs. Many photographers use camera straps to prevent accidental drops and to keep their hands free when not actively shooting. Some straps are padded for comfort, while others may feature quick-release mechanisms for convenience. Popular brands include Canon, Nikon, and Peak Design, each offering unique designs and functionalities.
