My Fave Straps offers a thoughtfully designed solution for photographers seeking comfort, functionality, and versatility in their gear. Unlike traditional neck straps that can cause strain during long shoots, the brand’s camera harness redistributes weight across the shoulders and back, similar to a backpack. This ergonomic approach significantly reduces neck fatigue, making it ideal for extended use in activities like hiking, travel, or event photography.
One of the standout features of these straps is their stretchy, flexible construction, which allows for ease of movement while keeping the camera securely positioned. The harness design ensures that the camera remains easily accessible, enabling users to capture spontaneous moments without needing to stop and unpack equipment. This convenience is especially valuable for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers on the move.
Additionally, My Fave Straps products are designed as modular systems. Each harness typically includes accessories such as extenders, slip rings, and chest straps, allowing users to customize their setup based on their specific gear and preferences. This adaptability makes the straps suitable for a wide range of cameras and even binoculars, enhancing their practicality beyond photography alone.
Carry Your Camera in Comfort
Another notable aspect is the emphasis on fit and inclusivity. The straps come in multiple sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit for different body types. Combined with their handmade craftsmanship, these features reflect a focus on both quality and user experience.
Overall, My Fave Straps provides a reliable and innovative alternative to conventional camera straps, prioritizing comfort, accessibility, and customization for modern photographers. Each strap and scarf is handmade in Canada under the direct supervision of founder/seamstress Lisa Griffiths.
You can purchase My Fave Straps from Freestyle Photo & Imaging. Example straps are priced at $49.99, both the Plum Tastic Scarf Strap and the Lilac Leaves Cross Body Strap.
Enjoy.

That plumtastic scarf is beautiful! I imagine it would also strain my neck less than the classic neck strap, but above all – IT’S PURPLE :D
Since this is a DIY site, why don’t you show us how to make one of these since you’re the so-called “‘How-to’ Editor”?
