I came across this today:

At the very least, you could "borrow" their concept and modify your favorite strap to do the same. :twisted:

Thanks for pointing out a new product. Looks like a great concept, and one the could be used on an existing strap.

A really good idea for those not minding having the extra weight pulling on your neck, and giving you pinched nerves, I know what that's like, believe me.
