During this time I stumbled across the Domke backpack straps, which I figured since the price is under $20, I could try them out. When I received the straps, I noticed that they are very similar to the constructions of the Domke straps on their bags, the cotton feel material with metal rings. The construction is very basic, almost looks as if it was taken from a Vietnam era Army bag if they came in drab green. The instructions while extremely simple were enough to clip the straps in and was easy to use. Basically, the Domke bags have (or should have) metal rings to clip to, clip 4 connections and you're done. The nice thing about the straps is since they are made of cotten, they are not in the way when using the regular shoulder strap. I had no issues with the straps getting caught on anything.
In use I tested this during an all day photo walk. After a few hours my shoulder was very sore from not using the backpack straps, and after our stop, I tried out the backpack straps. The first thing I noticed with the bag fully packed, the straps are harder to insert your arms than with the bag unpacked (as I tested it at home). I am a thin guy so this wasn't an issue for me, but honestly it felt like I was wearing a smaller school backpack where the straps where not as wide as a hiking backpack. Now there are adjustments on the straps but you can not make the straps wider if needed. Once the bag was carried by the backpack straps, it felt actually pretty stable but I noticed the weight was not balanced. This is more of an issue that the straps are joined together via the center ring, all it takes is some manual adjustment by moving the pack, but if you're bag is not balanced, this might be a problem. The straps are not as comfortable as a good quality backpack but honestly, it's a welcome relief from having to use the shoulder strap after your already tired.
I would recommend anyone who has sore shoulders from long photo days to try out this Domke backpack strap. Also if you're using another brand bag, it's possible to use this backpack strap as the requirements are just 4 anchor points, which are common for most bags on the market. If you're using a ThinkTank Photo brand bag, there's an even better backpack strap available.
Just remember that it's alternative carry method and not a backpack conversion, you'll be happy with it. Also if you wish to pack this away instead of having it always connected you can store is in a small side pocket, as the straps are pretty compact.
It can be rigged a few different ways to the bag which affect how and where the bag hangs as well as the angle in which the straps come over your shoulders. "Documentation" consisted of a single, poorly illustrated sheet of paper. This was not very helpful, but if you are smart enough to operate a camera that needs a bag like this, you can figure it out.
One very cool thing is that you can rig this so the bag sits very low. Low enough that you can still use a smaller back pack to carry things like your lunch and some water. Very cleaver!
Several bags, like the one shown, have a belt with a quick release. For other bags, this belt is optional. You can use this belt to secure the bag around your waist. A larger belt (for larger people) is available as well.
One down side is that you cannot access your camera without taking it off (unless you are a contortionist).
I don’t ever feel like I’m slowed down in terms of accessing the contents of the bag - just slip it off one shoulder and swing it around. Easy. And you can reach back and get into the bag’s end pockets without taking the straps off your shoulders at all. You can also carry it with only one of the straps, like any backpack, if you need to.
Another great thing is that the contact the bag makes with your back is low and minimal. I appreciate that because I don’t need a bag making me even hotter than I get while working.
If you’re a photographer who just can’t get on board with the hip belt systems this is a great alternative.
The single thing I could see improving would be some sort of softening or smoothing of the straps where they contact my upper arms in the front. That can chafe when I have short sleeves. I might solve it with a bandanna wrap or something like that if it continues to bug me.
Best $23 I ever spent.
So straps are great just thick and the bag is not a good hiking.
