Great information. I have been struggling with straps recently. This helps a great deal on pros and cons on quite a few that I have been looking. Thank you.
On my current dslr that I bought used from a friend it came with a more deluxe and more comfortable canon neck strap that is thicker and bigger than the one that comes as standard. My previous strap was a r-strap, a solution I liked for a while until I got my current camera and realized that the more deluxe neck strap was a better solution.
Nice info! I use only wrist straps. My wrist straps are wide cotton shoelaces. They are strong, feel nice and can absorb sweat. They cost €0.80 per pair :-)
This video is a great "who is who" of camera straps. BTW : I just pre-ordered your new zine :-) I also have the "28" and I now look forward to some more Robin-made photography.
That's interesting about your stance on wrist vs neck. I'm a wrist strap user but it's really there as protection in the event I loose grip of the camera. When you say that the neck strap is faster I assume you mean from a hanging position? I love the look of some neck straps but I want the freedom of quickly shooting high or low. Anyhow, hey from Detroit and I'm digging all the content. Thx!
This was very helpful! I was leaning toward a braided leather strap so it would slip as much, but never considered the squeaky sound. Leaning toward simple antique brown Leica strap…reviews say it slips around though. Going to adapt peak design clips to it.
I have settled on Eric Kim's "Henri" shoulder camera strap. It is by far the best in comfort, use and looks great. I've tried many many straps and none have come close to the "Henri".
I don't even touch those straps included in the box. They are billboards for free adverts. Except Leica straps, but even then, I still don't use them. Guess it's the cheapest form of customisation that exists for a camera that you love.
@@therealsirrobin the great part of the PD system is that you can feed the non- metal nylon loops through the brass lugs on the older vintage Leicas to prevent wearing out the lugs. The metal ring attachments on most straps will wear these lugs out. The newer Leicas have stainless steel lugs, so this isn’t a problem.
I was in a dilemma whether to buy a wrist strap or neck strap, after your statement ı am closer to neck strap but now ı am in a new dilemma whether to buy a wide or thin strap, ı have both dslr and mirrorless cameras; ı want to use this strap for both(peak design) What do you offer? Thank you..
This is extremely helpful.
After all the trial and error, I settled with Harry Benz Urushi and a A&A leather strap.
Great! 🙂

Thank you, glad my video helped you out! 🙏

Glad you have found a strap that works for you Sina! 👌

Hard to beat that price and easily replaceable. 😁

Yes, I was talking about the camera hanging. 👍
I have ADM cases. You cannot do better. They’re not cheap but I have never been happier.
I haven’t been able to beat the Leica branded leather strap (with neck pad). They sell for under $80USD at B&H.

I've heard about the Henri strap but since I haven't tried it I can't comment on it. Glad you're enjoying it though! 👏
What length do you usually have this set to?
Hama air comfort ... My most comfortable strap and cheap 😁

Yes, exactly! 🙏
I just use those Leica straps. They work great. I even buy them if they don‘t come with the M body.
Do you prefer straps with strap bumpers? I'm worried that the rings will scratch my M body
I have both but to be honest I don't care too much since will have signs of use anyway. 😁
i made one by myself it suits me perfectly. it's simply made by two grenade rings and USMC strap in vietnam war. cool on my leica.
also i wrote " Liebe machen, nicht Krieg!" peace forever!
i use the peak design too... i tried some cool climbing rope straps, but it becomes uncomfy after a while with y canon f1....
It's not the most pretty strap I've come across but surely the most versatile and useful! 👏
@@therealsirrobin totally agree! btw i just bought the zines, keep the good work going :)

I have ONA Sevilla Antique cognac strap on my Leica q2!

Spajder Hrum I shall be more confused
Rock and Roll straps look nice but their website doesn't allow you to check out without VAT for VAT registered buyers in the EU...

What strap do you use for your C330?
The peak design that I mentioned in the video. 👌
Ya new video
Fujifilm has good straps out of the box!
Leather is always timeless and most durable....sad for animal conscious people though
