Abstract: A carrying belt for carrying a video camera or still camera on the body having a shoulder pad, a belt coupled to the shoulder pad that runs transversely across the upper body of a user, and at least one connecting piece for fastening the belt to the video or still camera. The belt includes a slide via which the belt is coupled to the shoulder pad so that the belt is movable in the direction of a longitudinal extension of the belt relative to the shoulder pad and is simultaneously secured to the shoulder pad transversely to the longitudinal extension. This solution is a development of a known carrying belt by allowing attachment of a still or video camera to the belt at the fittings provided for attaching a classical neck strap or to one of these fittings and a tripod belt bush on a camera.

Abstract: An impact-damper element for carrying straps that is active in a longitudinal direction. The element has a flexible, flat band portion with two mutually opposite main surfaces, runs in a longitudinal direction in undulating lines that are deflected transversely to the longitudinal direction and have reversal points and transverse portions running between the reversal points. A support is applied to at least one of the main surfaces of the band portion, is fixed to the band portion, retains the band portion in a normal position along the undulating lines and is made of an elastic material. The support is of varying thickness over the course of the undulating lines; being of the smallest thickness in a central portion of the transverse portions of the band portion and the thickness increases from the central portion to the reversal points. The support is at its thickest at the reversal points.
