Being tired of the Canon stock shoulder and neck strap I decided to get the much talked about Op/Tech Pro strap. Haven’t had time to try it out yet but it seems a great deal more comfortable. It doesn’t slip as easily, it is wider, curved and has a nice bungee elastic effect.

On a similar note, I attached the battery grip and mounted the hand strap without the base plate that normally screws into the tripod thread. This seems so much better plus it feels a lot safer to attach to a tripod now that the base plate isn’t there as a wobbly go-between.

I also got the Op/Tech rainsleeves as a portable protection against the elements. I have another insulated model on order from elsewhere but this design has it’s advantages.

All Op/Tech products from Jackthehat.

I also got some 5 in 1 reflectors from Tvspelsweb. In retrospect I could have gotten those from Jack the hat as well but I didn’t plan ahead. Not something you use every day but immensely powerful, and cheap, tools nevertheless.

Now all I miss is some kind of Stroboframe bracket but I have so far been unable to find anything like that here. The closest option seems to be the knock-offs sold by Foto-tip. "Stroboframes" are another kind of relatively cheap game changer, just like rain sleeves or reflectors.
