Get rid of the camera straps (they are a "pain in the neck"
while carrying the cameras, and while operating them), get
a camera bag with a wide, padded soft strap long enough to
go around your neck that will hold what you want (without
zippers, and only Velcro or a clip to keep it closed), and
has space left for a camera with lens and flash (may stick
up high, which is OK). Alternate cameras that are
in-bag/in-hand as needed - this is FAR easier than
struggling with items attached to you with three straps (!)
around your neck (and I have never been able to keep a
shoulder strap on - it will not stay...).
