Shoulder Pads for Sling/Shoulder Bags

Valjean · 16th May 2009

Hi all

My cheapo tripod bag comes with a fixed nylon sling without any cushioning and I'm looking to add a shoulder pad for comfort. Any ideas where I can find cheap ones?

Thanks for any help!

OP at SLS. I just got a 3rd party brand one recently for my Tamrac sling bag. Got it for 5 bucks.

Thanks but not keen to get that expensive a shoulder pad to go with the cheapo bag.

i dont think crumpler's pad is that comfy at all..

u can go to sport connection for some shoulder pad at less then $10 or BHG for the tatonka brand, 9.90 or eaglecreek... sometime come with 20% discount

These are very good but not as comfy as the Domke shoulder pad.

I saw those over the weekend. A little too long for my tripod bag's sling.

Picked up the 3rd party ones from OP, as recommended by mercuryaw above. $5 and serves my purpose. Thanks!

anyone has suggestions for cheap and good bag straps?

don't really want those neoprene types (op-tech, matin) as they bounce too much.

there used to be an eagle creek one that was recommended but i think it's unavailable now.

last time i used DOMKE sponge/rubber shoulder pad. it is thick and one side and thin and the other, so very comfortable to use

. but after 1-2yrs, it starts to "melt".
