• I hiked miles in the Alps with Peak Design Slide Camera Strap SL-BK-3, it feels amazing! 2. Also, Wasabi Power LP-E6N Battery 2-Pack works fantastic for half the price!

Ive spent a lot of time lugging a 5D Mark IV through rough terrain, and honestly, the weight is no joke. In my experience, if youre worried about shoulder pain from a standard strap, you should look at a sling system instead. I switched to the BlackRapid Sport Breathe Camera Strap years ago and never looked back. It distributes the weight diagonally across your torso, which is way more comfortable for a heavy body like the 5D4 when youre hiking for hours. Regarding the battery situation, Im gonna be real... stick with the official stuff for Iceland. Ive tried the cheaper clones in sub-zero temps and they tend to report charge levels inaccurately or just die way faster than they should. I always carry at least three Canon LP-E6NH Lithium-Ion Battery packs when Im in the cold. Its worth the peace of mind knowing your camera wont shut off while youre staring at the Northern Lights. Also, since youre heading to Iceland, you need to protect that gear from the spray. Ive ruined a lens before thinking weather sealing was enough. Grab a Think Tank Photo Emergency Rain Cover Medium. Its cheap, lightweight, and actually works. Lastly, look into the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip V3. You can bolt it to your backpack strap and it keeps the camera locked to your chest while you walk. It saves your back a ton of stress because the weight isnt swinging around.
