Solar Camera Strap

The modern DSLR requires so little power that, you can forget to charge its battery. But this concept by Weng Jie would solve the problem. It's simply a camera strap with solar paneling.

This strap would be more useful as DSLRs require less power. But on top of that, the solar rig here has a lot more surface area (I'm guessing double or triple) than that of your average pocket solar adapter.

So with less power requirements and more power output, a solar camera strap seems like a pretty brilliant idea in my book.

This is actually very creative. I wonder why this was not thought of sooner.

I'm surprised this concept hasn't been around for a while, but I can't imagine the strap being too comfortable

the camera flash on that camera must be pretty weak if it can be solar powered.
