Fancy Camera Strap

[Bipin Gupta]

Hi Friends, Arca Swiss QR Plates with Strap Lugs can be bought for US $ 6
to 22 with Free Shipping from AliExpress or WISH. These are available with
multiple options - D-Ring attached to a swivel Carabiner ($ 4 to 5), just
the swivel Carabiner ($ 2 to 3) to a round ringed slot in the QR Plate.
Some come with a hinged Lug. Most of these Plates also have strap lugs at
both ends to attach a nylon Camera Strap. These DO NOT interfere if the
Arca Swiss Plate is mounted to a Ball Head.
WISH has a Warehouse in Toronto so shipments come in fast. But AliExpress
shipments from China may take upto 1.5 months.
My Arca Swiss PU70 QR Plate has both the tripod Female Socket + Strap Lugs.
Regards.
Bipin from Thornhill Ontario.

Hmm. I'm just shy of 6' myself, with a long torso. I tend to carry my cameras 
the same way. Probably just differences in arm length, shoulders, etc, along 
with personal preferences. :)

I have a bunch of Peak Design anchors. They come in sets of two with an 
Arca-Swiss compatible camera plate, and the anchors can be fitted to the camera 
plate without interfering with the plate's function on a tripod. The PD plates 
are thin and can be left fitted to the camera all the time, unless I want to 
put the camera into a snugly fitted half case. One of my half-cases (The "Jason 
Cui model" for the Leica CL) includes an externally accessible tripod screw 
mount too. 

All choices, and there are lots of good ones! :)

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

[Comcast]

Yes, that’s correct. So I can mount the camera on the tripod with the strap 
attached. Since the trap is a sling it’s quite long, so I sometimes boop the 
strap over my head when using the tripod. It provides insurance againt spills.

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

Not sure I understand. Does your Arco type plate have an additional 
tripod socket on the plate itself so you can leave the plate in place & 
screw the Black Rapid's connector into the plate?

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

[John Sessoms]

Looks like the target market is photographers who use sling straps that 
attach to the tripod socket on the bottom of a camera. One problem with 
those is you have to disconnect the strap to put the camera on a tripod.


My Sun-Sniper strap clips on to the ring for a Manfrotto RC2 adapter, 
but I still have to UN-clip to mount the camera on a tripod.


This looks like it will allow you to mount to the tripod without having 
to remove the strap. I'd have to replace all my Manfrotto mounts with 
Arca Swiss, but I think I'm kinda headed that way anyway.


Looks like they made their goal (more than made their goal - about 4.5x 
so far).


Noting that "Rewards aren't guaranteed", I wonder when it will be 
available to just buy one retail?

I use the Peak Design Leash strap, which max out at about 145cm (57 inches)

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

I use a Black Rapid dtrsp. It‘s long,   D esigned for cross chest use and 
bulletproof. The camera slides on the strap so it can be raised without moving 
the strap. It’s the only strap I’ll use.

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

Measured mine  
set at about 50" or so,
with an additional 25" available,
13" in the strap,and 6" in each camera attachment.
(quick releases similar to the Tamron's and others)
... truly extraordinary max. of 75".

I tend to use compatible quick release buckle (maybe Tamron)
camera attachment straps for extra bodies, but those are shorter
than what measurement says is 16" max for these
now no-name straps (label says StrapToIt)

Re: OT: Fancy Camera Strap

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I looked at that project. The neat part of the base plate is that it takes the 
load off the standard lugs (not designed for that kind of carry) and puts the 
load at the base which allows the camera to lay flat more reliably. 

It's primarily targeted to work with an SLR or largish EVF camera's shape and 
largish lenses. It would be mostly useless with the different form factor and 
relatively small/light lenses of a Leica M, for instance. 

I use the Peak Design Leash strap, which max out at about 145cm (57 inches) 
(plus a couple cm for the anchor bits). It's light, very strong, and easy to 
use cross body, as well as easily length adjustable to suit your body and

Camera Strap

[Steve Cottrell]

Does anyone use any of the camera straps of the type that don't attach
to the normal camera strap mounts - rather they attach to a mechanism,
that screws into the tripod mount on the base plate, allowing the camera
to be carried upside down over the shoulder?

Any recommendations / pointers to manufacturers?

THANKS

Re: Camera Strap

[Stan Halpin]

Not exactly what you are asking for, but FWIW...

I have used a simple attachment from strapbuddy.com (via BH or Adorama). A 
simple circular plate with slightly offset slot. Attach plate to camera, strap 
to slot, other end of strap to left-side lug on camera, and the camera is 
oriented vertically rather than horizontally. Like you could do on the LX with 
the front grip extender IIRC. Simple, secure, easy to attach, cheap.

Works ok, I have sworn off straps for the time being, will reassemble 
everything the next time I am in a travel-with-two-cameras mode.

Re: Camera Strap

[Paul Stenquist]

Yep. I use a Black Rapid sling style strap. A steel loop screws into the trips 
hole and a swiveling steel hook connects to it. The hook attaches to a strap by 
means of a sliding loop. The strap hangs off the opposite shoulder with the 
camera at your side. You simply lift it to shoot. Works great. Will never go 
back to neck straps.

Re: Camera Strap

[Peter Loveday]

I love my Luma Loop straps.  Unfortunately they don't make them any more 
(some patent dispute with black rapid I think).


I actually use my loop attached to one of the strap rings rather than the 
tripod screw/QR plate, I find it works better for me.  The quick release on 
the strap is very handy for those times I want to untether it from my 
shoulder (I also have a camdapter hand strap/QR plate on there for such 
occasions).


Luma have a new Cinch strap, but I've not tried it so can't really 
comment.  I seems to operate quite differently.


I always found the actual blackrapids somewhat bulkier, but others swear by 
them.


Either way, 'd never go back to a neckstrap now.. just seems so clunky and 
awkward.

Re: Camera Strap

[Steve Cottrell]

Thanks for all the great replies. Actually not for me, rather for Stef.

Bob W bequeathed him a Lumaloop strap some time ago, like this one:

http://photo.it-enquirer.com/files/2011/06/lumaloop.jpg

...but the quick release mech - although undoubtedly strong - causes
slight worry with the weight of an EOS-1DmIIn and 16-35/4 and sometimes
even a 420EX flash - that's some weight!

Situation resolved: the manfrotto QR plate (already part of his kit)
screwed into the tripod mount on the baseplate also has a D-rind
attached, so onto that clips a Lowepro Deluxe Shoulder Strap that I donated:

http://slrhut.co.uk/content/products-accessories/8547_1.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/40zDictator/Camera-6.jpg

Appreciate the input folks, thanks again.

Aside: while researching, I came across what surely ranks as the most
useless camera accessory of all time

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0083/1012/files/dual-handle-with-

Re: Camera Strap

[John]

I have the Sun Sniper strap; has the steel cable woven down the middle 
so they can't sneak up behind you, cut your strap  run off with your 
camera.


http://www.amazon.com/Sunbounce-Sun-Sniper-Strap-Black/dp/B0045J5AAC/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronicsie=UTF8qid=1384481620sr=1-2keywords=sunsniper

You might be able to find it for less.

I don't use the button that comes with it. The version I bought has a 
locking snap hook so I can hook it to the D-ring on my QR plate 
(Manfrotto RC2/200PL-14)  use the same strap when I change between the 
K10D  K20D.

of the cameras he'd used (and abused) for making one of his videos?

FS: Original Pentax leather camera strap

[kwaller]

For those that have to have the original narrow (7/16in) leather strap that 
came with the early Pentax cameras - I have one from an early Pentax I use 
to own. Don't remember which but I'm guessing it was an ES - the rubber 
portion has 'Honeywell Pentax cast into the pad.


In very good condition with both metal do-dads  strap end retainers.

Make offer - you pay shipping.

Re: Quick Release Camera Strap

[John Sessoms]

From: Godfrey DiGiorgi


Most popular one of these things around here is the Black Rapid ...
they have several models and options, see http://www.blackrapid.com/
for details.

I learned long ago: never skimp on a strap, no matter what kind you
prefer. Get the best you can find. Your expensive equipment is hanging
on it.


Sun-Sniper and Black Rapid R-Strap were pretty much equal for me. I 
actually preferred the feel of the R-Strap slightly more, but the 
Sun-Sniper has an embedded steel wire to prevent someone behind you from 
cutting your strap to steal your camera.


Knowing I would be traveling where that might be a problem, it gave the 
Sun-Sniper a slight edge.

Thanks for that feedback, Godders.  Thanks too Ecke and John.  

That Black Rapid looks like it would do the job and the Sun-Sniper is
obviously another option.  I'll look around to see if I can find one in
a local camera shop.  It would be nice to try one before buying.

 I like a neck strap with the GXR ... it's small and light enough that
 hanging onto my chest isn't obnoxious ... and the standard strap that
 came with it works fine but is kinda rough and irritating on my neck.
 I was about to go construct a nice leather strap when I discovered the
 Ricoh has an optional leather accessory neck strap. Probably a lot
 better quality than I can make myself, so what the heck? I ordered
 one.

K-R and camera strap

Larry that one looks interesting.

I also came across the following and they look nice however the price on
them does not. I am not sure either how comfortable I am with having the
camera hang at my side as it just seems that I would be bumping it into
things or into others. With having the camera in front I have better control

http://www.blackrapid.com/



I have the similar strap offered by Sun Sniper.

http://www.sun-sniper.com/

The sun sniper has a steel wire embedded in the strap so someone can't 
come up behind you in a crowd and cut the strap when the camera is down 
by your side. That's the only advantage I saw for the Sun Sniper strap 
over the Black Rapid.


One drawback I've found with that kind of strap is the camera controls 
are subject to change position whenever the camera is hanging at your 
hip. You have to verify the controls are in the configuration you want 
them every time you raise the camera.


It is fairly comfortable.



I may end up getting the following and only because I discovered yesterday,
from just walking around outside the house with the camera, that the strap
that came with the camera is not comfortable around the back of the neck.


http://products.lowepro.com/product/Transporter,2065,41.htm

I came across it Sunday while walking around Best Buy and they have it for
$20



I would recommend also looking at the products of OP/TECH USA.

http://optechusa.com/straps.html

Their straps are comfortable and in my experience slightly less 
expensive than the comparable Lowe Pro or Tamrac product.

I love the tamrac straps with the little pockets for SD cards:

I used to tape film cans to my neck straps, and was about to do something

if such a thing already existed.  I carry the empty cards in the left pocket

Looking for camera strap

But I forgot to tell her to order a camera strap to go with it, and I

I'm wondering if anyone here has a spare camera strap they'd be

Re: Looking for camera strap

Perhaps it will come with the strap. I always sell my used cameras  
with all the original equipment in the original box. I think I get a  
better price that way. And since I don't use the Pentax straps (I use  
the Tamrac straps that clip on), the OE straps look brand new at sale  
time.

I have a similar problem with shoulders.

I wear the bag with the strap bandolier style (strap over the head and

with lenses and the casual accessory stuff.

You could have a look at the Lowepro Street  Field system, which uses belts 
and/or waistoats to hold bags at various areas of your body.

The big disadvantage of it is its sub-military look, which might earn you a 
tazering or worse from the rozzers in the wrong circumstances.

I have to small, sloping shoulders where straps just slide off of.  Don't 
even wear a ladies purse without doing the bandolier style.  Thanks for the 
tip on the F6.  I wondered about that bag.  Might add it to the collection.

On the subject of bags, has anyone here any experience of the Domke F9
or F-10 JD? I have never noticed them in the catalogue before
yesterday, but they look as though they would make good handlebar
camera bags for bike trips.

Re: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???

[Christine Aguila]

Hi Bob:  I don't know about the F9 or F10JD, but I did recently purchase 
this one 
http://www.tiffen.com/displayproduct.html?tablename=domkeitemnum=700-52B 
and I bought the belt as well (and yes, it was a bit pricey).  This one 
looks like it's a lot smaller than F9/F10JD, but it might hang from bike 
handlebars; you'd have to rig up a way to attach it though, which you could 
probably do using both the traditional shoulder strap loops  the very wide 
belt loop on the back of the bag.  I can get the K10D with the 50 1.4 and 
battery grip (all attached as one unit) in the bag  I can get either the DA 
16-45mm or DA*50-135mm in the other lens compartment, but it's tight mind 
you--but still doable.  Cheers, Christine

Hi,

thanks - I have one of those, and it is easy to attach to the bag, but
it's too small to take the E-1+lens+battery grip and a second lens.

Re: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I've seen the F10 and it's too small for the E-1+battery grip+lens and  
second lens. the F9 I haven't seen but from its dimensions it might  
make it, if you're sticking with relatively small lenses. The F5XC is  
another new model that might work too ... I have one but haven't tried  
to fit that combination into it.

Y-Strap or other two camera strap???

RE: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???

I use a thin (1) Domke strap on each camera. Being blessed with 2
shoulders, each being more than 1 wide and approximately parallel
with the ground, that's where I carry the cameras. When I want to use
one of the cameras I transfer it to my neck, which lies conveniently
at about the midpoint between my shoulders. 

It's as if somehow we were intelligently designed to carry 2 cameras.

Harnesses and Y-straps sound to me like product manufacturers' overly

When I'm carrying two cameras at an event, I have them in a shoulder  
bag big enough to handle both cameras with the lenses I'm going to use  
on them, and a hand strap on each one. That way, as I need one or the  
other, I just drop the one that I'm putting down back into its slot in  
the bag, and pick up the other one.

Re: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???

[ann sanfedele]

Back in the day when I could lift more than one camera and anticipated 
needing quick switches between focal length or type of film
 I had them both around my neck  with wide and soft
straps - one camera had the strap adjusted longer than the other so the 
lined up nicely one above the other
but not touching the camera bag strap was on my shoulder and the 
waistband of it around my waist for support.

It was easy to go from one to the other... sometimes the lower one was 
tucked into the waistband of my bag.

Don't know if this helps or not... I couldn't use Bob W's solution as 
one of my shoulders is too slanty and things
always fall off it.

Re: Y-Strap or other two camera strap???

[Joseph McAllister]

When two are needed, I've always adjusted my straps to over / under  
configurations, one above the other. If I wear my photo vest, I use  
the 'D' rings to attach the upper camera with the short quick release  
straps that came with the vest. And let the tele hang on the bottom,  
so it won't be banging up the lower camera, and to impress the  
girls.  :-)

On most (all?) of the pages of that site, look on the right (you might 
need to scroll down) and you'll see a box titled Target Practice. 
If you follow that link, the page has a sample image to test your 
printer and its ICC profile, and brief instructions on interpreting the 
results.  I need to clean and unclog my Epson 820, because I haven't 
printed for a couple of months.  But I'll be interested to hear about 
the results anyone around here gets in trying it.

Hi Rob,

Possibly its do with Honda GP Bikes. From memory Pentax used to sponsor both
the GP500 and 250 Honda bikes. There is actualy still a few NSR250 race rep.
road bikes running around here with Pentax decals.

At a guestimate it would have been some where between 1988 and 1993.

Also Pentax sponsored a Honda VFR750 endurance racing bike in the early
90's. I've got an article on it somewhere. I think it was ridden by Daryl
Beattie.

This link shows The Pentax MotorGP team finished in 26th place with a Honda
NSR500 in 1990.

 Hi Rob:
 Your page wouldn't open this morning, so I couldn't check if they are
 the same, but I have a Pentax/Honda Racing Team strap on my surviving
 ME, which I bought in 1979.  I cannot remember whether the strap came
 with it, or whether I bought it later, but that would be amongst the
 earliest dates possible.  I _thought_ it was produced when Honda were
 in Formula 1, prior to their current involvement,  but I may well be
 wrong.

 Does that help?

Hey, they had Shinichi Ito as their rider! Surprising he finished as low as
26th. Perhaps that was around the time they were trying (mostly
unsuccessfully) to get fuel injection to work on a two-stroke motor?

A few years back whilst i was riding an Suzuki RGV250 and i noticed quite a
few of  Pentax NSR250's and thought about getting one, but it wasnt as quick
as the RGV250, so i passed :)

I think the Pentax models were an SP and a 'limited edition' :)

Even when i went to a bigger bike, it was no where near as much fun as the
250 stroker. They feel like a GP bike and there so light and easy to throw
around.

And in the 1988 Suzuka results were Kathleen Coburn and Toni Sharpless (Team
Nescafe Americana), two girls from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

I raced against both of them in the early 80s at Shannonville, Sanair, and
Mosport, then they landed this contract to race in Japan.  It was an
opportunity that happened to very few Canadian racers.

Let me recount the events as I see them,

William made an observation/request for information.

Jim replied with a bit of obscure and possibly useful information.

Wendy elevated Jim to the level connoisseur of this esoteric knowledge.

I made what I thought was a humorous remark on this type of elevation.
Obviously I was wrong about it being funny.  It was only meant to be a
little cutting and somewhat clever word play.

I responded to William's response while I was tired and only made it
worse.

I like to fancy myself something of a wit.  Sometimes I'm only half right.

One of the joys of the internet, is that no matter how obscure the request

Allow me to say, Peter, I asked a simple question, and I got a
bunch of good answers, and yours, which seems to have come from
an asshole.
But thanks for the response.

If your friend had never heard that joke, a blank stare is his normal
expression. On the other hand, if he had heard it as many times as I have a
blank stare was your justly deserved response. teasing

 I didn't find Wendy's comment remotely offensive. In the full context of
her
 other PDML posts, and the tone of her message, I believe there was no
 offence meant, just a good humoured response to my rather obvious setting
up
 of myself as a connoisseur of straps. I enjoyed it, unlike when I read
the
 inference that I was pissing off an anthill.

 Thanks Jim.
 Sorry, I just couldn't resist it.
 I was beginning to wonder if I had some bizarre sense of humour only
 peculiar to myself.

 Reminds me of the time a colleauge visiting from America asked if someone
 could call him a cab. So I did, and was met by a blank stare.

 Wendy, who would hate to think she offended anyone

  Hi;
  The ME Super that I aquired a couple of days ago has a strap
  clasp that I have never seen before. There is a hinged lock on
  the clasp.
  I have never seen one of these things before, and have no idea
  what the correct way to thread a strap through it is.
  If anyone can provide a desctiption even a dumb Canuck can
  understand, I would be most grateful.
  I may need one of those Mpeg thingies to give a visual
  description.
  Thanks
 
  William Robb

Disclaimer:
In no way do I claim to be a pentax strap connoisseur. I leave that grand 
title to Jim Mr Strap Brooks, who is brave enough to reveal his full 
title. Ahem.

I would draw you a diagram that even a dumb Canuck could understand, but I 
can't draw.
Here are a couple of piccies instead.

I presume this is the clasp you're talking about.
