The C-Loop - A New Twist on the Camera Strap

The traditional camera strap is far from perfect as any photographer will tell you. It's prone to tangling, getting caught on things and can even be a safety concern. That's where the C-Loop comes in.

The C-Loop attaches to the tripod mount on your camera and swivels to prevent the camera from coming unscrewed and to keep the strap from tangling. It also allows you to carry your camera with the lens to the side, rather than facing forward like traditional straps.

This new strap idea comes from Ivan Wong, who has developed a prototype and is asking for funding on KickStarter to help get these into production. There you can find a video demonstration of the C-Loop as well as more information about Wong's plans for the C-Loop. If you pledge $50, you'll get a C-Loop at launch, so think of it as a pre-order.
