Product Information

Ever wished you had a strap that can hold two cameras? Here’s one I found. I know it looks like it is made of leather, but it isn’t. For the making process, you will need a camera strap carabiner, metal double cap rivet stud, D-rings, and a couple of other materials. Making this isn’t as hard as it looks. 17. DIY Custom Camera Strap The earliest wrist straps appeared in the 1930s, and probably the most beautiful was released with the Voigtländer Virtus and Prominent, 6×9 folding cameras produced between 1933 and 1935, and seen just below this paragraph. These cameras came with a heavy-duty plaited leather strap which connected to the lug mount. In modern times people forget about traditions. Everything is being mass-produced for the sake of profit. At Stroppa we do not want to follow this trend. We do not treat Stroppa as something subject to globalization and mass production. Our philosophy is different. Stroppa straps are handmade, following centuries-old traditions of artisans. Each piece of leather and rope is carefully transformed from raw material into a precious object that is meant to withstand the test of time.” For this DIY project, you won’t need to make a strap from scratch, rather, you’ll only have to cover the already existing strap. Most cameras come with a strap, this tutorial will teach you how to make a camera strap using your favorite piece of fabric. The making process is quite easy to follow. 3. DIY Camera Strap As creatives, we need to support other creatives and buy from small businesses, not giant multinationals. As this New York Times article details, doing so can have profound effects. The whole world is struggling against the negative economic impact of Covid-19, and if you are fortunate enough to have spare money to spend, I suggest that you spend your disposable income where it can do the most good.

The comfortable foam filled accessory has been designed to float waterproof cameras up to 200g in weight, so we’re talking compact point and shoot cameras rather than DSLRs. Acting as inexpensive insurance, perhaps, rather than something you’ll necessarily covet in and of itself, this soft foam strap will float so your precious devices don’t sink. Saving an expensive device from watery doom may mean that this cheap and cheerful strap ends up being worth its weight in gold.

Materials : As I stated above, I am not a fan of manmade materials, but that is my own aesthetic taste. Nylon is probably the most common material used in modern camera straps – it’s very strong, durable and light weight. In terms of wrist straps, plaited paracord and nylon rope wrist straps have become very popular, and I have included some in the list. Stroppa produce rope and leather camera straps which may superficially resemble the cheap copies you see online, but in fact each one is hand produced by Mateusz with pride, from only the very best materials. The polypropylene silk cord is sourced from top quality producers in Poland and the United States. The ends are hand stitched using traditional Italian veg-tanned leather and Italian waxed thread. Even the stainless-steel split rings are handmade by a machinist friend of Mateusz. I hadn’t seen this strap prior to my research but included it here because the design is very classy, and it is made of ultra-soft lambskin leather, which is one of the most beautiful leathers to wear against your skin. Lambskin is a very fine-grained leather with a smooth buttery texture, and has been used in high-end leather goods such as handbags made by French fashion houses like Hermes, Dior and Chanel. Viv Vante is the brainchild of Scott Morvay, a Leicaphile and photographer who saw a segment in the market for the very finest quality camera bags and straps. About the Bengal Unleashed strap he writes… “A lot of research and development went into the design. The Strap not only looks unique but can safely support the weight of the camera entirely. Our braid is also the most stylish on the market and it looks like a bracelet when wearing.” – SHOP Convert your beautiful scarf to a one of a kind camera strap using the tips from this DIY guide.

Geometric Style Camera Strap DIY Brian, the owner of Cordweaver, handmakes his classic “Cordy” camera wrist straps from genuine US manufactured Type III 550lb Paracord with seven internal strands rated to 249.4kg (550lb). Using a single length of Paracord, he creates a small eyelet at the beginning of the strap and then uses a cobra weave pattern to make each (approximately) 20 cm (8 inch) wristband. The remaining cord threads through the eyelet to form the wrist loop. Because of its high strength Paracord construction, the Cordy is extremely strong and safe to use for even the heaviest cameras.

This is an ingenious system that comes in two parts, one is the links that attach to your camera with cord, and then these slot into a holder on the strap. This system is used by some of the strap makers here. The camera strap is started by taking our 4 pieces of paracord. We line them up with the two shorter, 6.5 foot long strands in the middle and the two longer, 11 foot strands on the outside, one on each side. Here’s something a bit different.
