Grabbing your camera as you're about to head out, only to find it's running low on power is one inconvenience that designer Weng Jie is hoping he can solve. The designer has recently created an incredibly simple yet brilliant conceptual camera strap that would do away with the need to worry about whether your DSLR was charged or not.
His eco-friendly idea takes a camera's normal neck strap and adds solar-film into it. If his vision was to become a reality, the solar-film neck strap would hopefully give the attached camera enough power to snap away, all thanks to the sun's forever generous rays.
Gizmodo pointed out that such gadgetry has been attempted before, but in the past solar chargers have been created for more power hungry devices like smartphones. If this concept were to become a reality, then the hope is it would work effectively due to modern DSLRs having very low power demands.

Love this idea. I do almost all of my shooting outdoors - it would work well for me. By the way, I saw this link on twitter. Thanks for posting.
