Carrying a camera and lens around your neck for hours on end during a shoot can lead to serious discomfort and lens accidents. Typically, the weight of DSLR cameras and their large lenses are supported solely by the strap on the camera body. The lenses dangle awkwardly, requiring the use of your hands to protect your investment.

The Lens Cradle removes this awkwardness. Utilizing the center point of gravity of the lens tripod collar, the Lens Cradle supports the camera and lens in a secure horizontal position.

The patented Lens Cradle has two main components: the Neo Duet Camera Strap and the Cradle Mount. The strap has thick neoprene, lycra for stretch, and non-slip shark tooth webbing for comfort on your neck and shoulders. The Cradle Mount features an arc-like dual mounting platform that can be used with any camera and lens with a tripod collar. The Lens Cradle’s various mounting options provide the photographer with a number of different benefits. When the arc is turned up, cradling the camera lens, the Neo Duet Camera Strap holds the lens up and keeps it horizontal, which in turn lightens the weight around the neck. When you invert the arc so it is turned down, the Cradle Mount becomes an instant bipod, converting previous obstacles into stable platforms. When the camera is not being held, the Lens Cradle keeps the lens elevated so it does not touch the ground. This protects the lens from grit, moisture and scratches, and reduces camera or lens repair.

A camera strap alone cannot provide this balance, stability, and usefulness.
