[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Sonny: That sounds like good advice. I want to do that, too. Now, please help me out. What strap would you suggest. I know there are some that are made to protect the camera from scratches where it attaches to the eyes, but I don't anything about brands, etc. or where to get them. Also, I am a big guy, so need something that will be long enough. Any help will be appreciated.
