Suggest a Neck lanyard for new SONY HD-CX550v

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hello all-
I am new to this group and joined after I purchased the above SONY camcorder.

I would like to find a good neck strap / lanyard to keep it handy and for hands free carry when walking and for drop protection while shooting. On my older camcorders, there were 2 metal tab's with slots to thread a neck strap on (usually provided with the camera).

On this new model, there are none that I can see and no provided lanyard. The closest I can see to an attachment point is a small metal ring attached to the hand strap, but I am uncertain if that would be secure enough.

Could someone please advise me as to what and where I can get a neck lanyard that would work for this camcorder?

Thank you.

I don't know about you guys but I prefer something with metal clips, I don't trust a little piece of string to dangle my $1200 camcorder

something like this but not as wide and heavy duty, I like the clips though

Although not for the neck, I ordered one of these since I shoot mostly handheld.

But he has neck ones too....

Neoprene.

They're soooo comfortable on the neck! I have them on all my cams. You can walk around for hours without a strap digging in.

This one is similar to the ones I get... They have a quick release system so that you can take the strap off fast and without difficulty.
