<p>I've looked at the BlackRapid strap and I don't think it quite solves the problem I'm looking to solve. i.e. it doesn't seem to stop the camera from swining around to the front when bending over.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions everyone.</p>

<p>Hi, I have a Nikon D90 with the 18-200 VR lens attached that I use often as a walk-about/around town camera. Often times all I want to do is carry the camera with attached lens on a strap that goes across my chest for quick access. The problem I have though is that it's not very stable, if I lean forward (or trip) the camera will swing around to the front violently. Is there a strap that is designed to prevent this?</p>

<p>Also I often use this same outfit as a travel/backpacking camera. I'd like to find a pretty minimal bag that can comfortably carry the camera plus some SD cards and a spare battery over the shoulder or across the chest (with something to again keep it from swinging around to the front), but that is also easy to pack into a larger backpack. I've tried the Tamrac Velocity 6x but I don't like how the strap doesn't come off (for packing) and I really don't find that it to keep from swinging around to the front. It looks like a top-loader design might be my best bet, but I don't see anything that really keeps the pack from swinging around to the front. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
