I bought the slim 30 in a black and red..! 5 years later, I’ve still got it, it’s extremely comfortable and still hasn’t worn out.. Excellent product that can carry even the heavier cameras, like the Canon 1DX which is a bulky fella… 👍 This product is affordable, looks great, with the iconic lucky crossed finger symbol 🤞 you feel it’s not plain and boring as some straps can be, but at the same time it’s not a strap that says “look at me” that’s why I love it..! 10/10 from me 👍
Why don't you offer a "comfort slide" to add further cushioning to the strap, say if you do shoot with the camera strap around your neck!? That would make the $120 AUD more suitable as you would offer that as an option. Would be neat to have imo
Besides the comfort factor, you could use the simple 20 on a full size pro body with heavier lenses correct? I doubt it would break. I’ve seen heavy guitars with straps that side and they are heavier than any camera combination you could be carrying. Am I completely wrong? I have a pro body camera but I like the discreet width of the simple 20.
William Payne you are spot on! While the Simple 20 isn’t as strong as our larger straps it is definitely strong enough. This is because the webbing ends are the same size, stitched and glued the same way and the leather is really strong. Over time the Simple 20 may stretch a little with repeated all day shoots using pro bodies/lenses and also it won’t be as comfortable as the wider straps. Maybe I’ll throw one on my gripped D850 for a while!
Hi Craig, Thanks so much for the question! We have product images and descriptions of both but I know it can be hard to tell over the internet. I will actually make a video about it soon as I'm sure there are others with the same questions you have. In short, the vintage black is more textured and also softer to begin with, the Matte black has a more uniform texture similar to fine art paper and it a bit stiffer to begin with but it softens up beautifully with time. Cheers, Justin

Just purchased a 40 vintage black longstrap with the changeable clips... I'm very excited! Informative video, thanks!
Oh that's great to hear! Thanks so much for the support and I hope you love your new strap! - Justin
Like your strap, good quality leather, nice stitches, no smell, I have both the quick release and traditional and different width. Thank you.
Great video!! Thank you for helping me find the right strap, I'm going with the standard 53!!

Thats pretty easy when you shoot on landscape view but the challenge is when you shoot vertically
I see that there are two black colors how can I compare?
