Abstract
This strap goes over the shoulders of the person wearing it and supports one or more cameras hanging down in front of the body of the wearer. Portions of the strap that extend downward behind the shoulders converge toward one another and are connected with a stretchable or elastic part of the strap which has its lower end anchored to a trouser band or belt, and which prevents the converging parts of the strap from moving upward into contact with the back of the neck of the person wearing the strap. Thus the weight of the cameras never bears against the neck. The stretchable part of the back portion of the strap yields when the wearer bends forward, and this prevents uncomfortable tightening of the strap.
