I have come to love the Crooked Horn bino-flex system for taking photos.
You see, I have always had to deal with the fact that taking photos while outdoors is either one or the other. Either I am there to take photos, or I am there to hike, fish, hunt, whatever. Both had a hard time co-existing in the same outing. The reason was that the camera would get in the way of the fishing, or the fishing would get in the way of photographing. I now have been using the bino-flex system for a couple of months and it is unbelievable in keeping the camera close and ready to fire, yet out of the way and secure while I am outside. It is a MUCH better alternative than the camera strap that comes with the cam.
The last fishing trip proved it to me.. I could lean over the boat without the camera dangling around my neck. It didnt swing, it didnt hinder my casting, it was close and out of the way the whole time, yet when dad hauled in a nice catch, it took 2 seconds to lay down my rod, snap a pic, and then keep on fishing. I also like to do a lot of backpacking. Taking a photo while backpacking basically means that you have to carry the camera around your neck. Again this is a huge inconvenience because the camera is swinging around, and it pulls down on your neck. The bino-flex system keeps the cam close to your body and secure while you are backpacking.
Additionally, another great attribute about this system, and you wont see this mentioned anywhere in the Crooked Horn literature, is that when using the bino-flex system, it is elastic, so it keeps the camera firmly against your brow for taking the photo. This helps alot when on a rocking boat, or for an exhausted hiker, because it helps eliminate shake by keeping the camera's eye piece firmly against your brow for getting a "shake-free" photo.
Just thought I would pass this along. It works great.
you can get them here in the JHO store.
