Abstract: A system includes a strap made using a layer of resilient and pliant material such as neoprene. A cutout extends along the strap and ends at connecting areas of the resilient and pliant material, and a load can be connected to the connecting areas. When a user employs the system, a weight of the load is primarily applied to the user at a load bearing area of the strap including the cutout. In some embodiments, the strap may further include a curved edge that helps the strap conform to anatomy (e.g., a shoulder) of a user, and a swivel that connects the strap to extension straps.

Abstract: A system for carrying a mobile device such as a camera includes: a cap with a shank; a module rotatably mounted on the shank; and a strap connection fixture on the rotatable module. A single-point swivel connection can thus be provided that provides a secure mounting and convenient use of the device without tangling the carrying straps for the device.
