Product Information

The biggest problem with mounting a strap on the lug mounts is that the split rings are difficult to take off and aren’t easy to switch between cameras. That is why I prefer a tripod mounted strap, I can just take one strap in my bag and swap between cameras that I may be carrying in my bag as I use them, it takes literally three seconds to unscrew. I found this camera strap to be pretty amazing, feel free to use any fabric of your choice. If you would want to make this DIY camera strap, you need to have a sewing machine, an inkjet printer, iron, and a bunch of other supplies. This DIY camera strap is ideal for women who are looking for a classy camera strap that will catch the attention of people. 2. How To Make A Camera Strap I found another wrist strap, this one, however, is made of cord and leather. The leather part goes on your wrist and is quite comfortable while holding it. With this strap, you won’t ever have to worry about your camera falling off from your hands. 15. Riveted Leather Camera Wrist Strap 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. SHOP

There is a dizzying array of choices when it comes to wrist straps. Personally, I abhor the fact that we have become a throwaway society and the whole concept of designed obsolescence makes my blood boil. Far too often our purchasing decisions are based purely upon what product is the cheapest, rather than its quality, craftsmanship, history and provenance. The beautiful video above by Trillo & Sons in Fort Worth, Texas in the United States of America shows the craftmanship which goes into the products I’ve selected. 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.Macrame has also been one of my favorite things to DIY, in this DIY guide, the creator will show you how to make a beautiful macrame camera strap. If this is your first time trying out macrame knots, feel free to pause the tutorial and replay if you are having a hard time following up. 22. Making A Leather Camera Strap Paracord was made possible by the invention of nylon by Wallace Hume Carothers for DuPont in 1935. During WWII it was used to create chute lines for US Paratroops, thus Para-Cord. Even after it fell out of use for parachute suspension lines it became a standard military supply item for troops due to its strength and versatility, and I remember using it in the Australian Army for just about everything. You can read more about the history and uses of Paracord here. Then, using the longer two strands we start tying square knots (cobra knots) from the middle onto one side. Then, the other side is done exactly the same way. We keep lining up square knots until all strands on each side are of equal length. This produces about half a foot (15 cm) of square knots on each side of the middle point. 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.

The geometric patterns on this camera strap were actually painted on it. Finding this exact color of cotton webbing might be impossible. For this guide, the creator was able to make the geometric patterns using paint and a few other tools. 9. DIY No-Sew Sequin Camera Strap But the best and most ubiquitous material for camera straps is leather (unless you’re ethically opposed – which is a fair position). It’s natural, durable, stylish, and develops a beautiful patina with age; however, it is generally heavier and more expensive. Leather comes in a variety of types, the most commonly used being cowhide, pigskin, suede, calfskin and lambskin. Buffalo, horsehide, cowhide and pigskin are the toughest and most hard wearing but take some time to break in and soften. Suede, Calfskin, Goatskin and lambskin are beautifully soft and comfortable (these were the traditional material for the best gloves), but they are more expensive than ordinary leathers. Colour-transference can be a problem with the leather used on cheaper wrist straps, this is where the color used to dye the leather can stain clothes. Oberwerth is German bag and strap manufacturer whose ISAR wrist strap is handmade from velvety and especially soft Rhubarb Leather®. Rhubarb Leather® is environmentally friendly and sustainably-produced in Germany with tannins from rhubarb root and is particularly friendly to the skin by avoiding chemical tanning agents. The soft interior padding incorporated into the wrist strap ensures a balanced distribution of the weight of the camera, and outstanding comfort. The ISAR wrist strap is designed to carry a load of up to 25 kg (55 lbs), and thus is particularly suitable for heavy DSLR and medium format film cameras. – SHOP Now we continue by braiding the 4 stranded round braid on each side.
