Choosing your strap

SIZING 

Before you place your order do a quick check to find the best strap length which suits your shooting style. Hang a measuring tape around your neck as you would a camera and see where it would sit.  Straps are measured from the end of one split ring to the end of the other split ring.

The STANDARD and AUDREY rope straps are available in four lengths 75cm (29.5in ), 95cm ( 37.4in ), 110cm ( 43.3in ) and 125cm ( 49.2in ).

The DUSTY SLIM and GIBSON leather straps are available in three lengths 75cm (29.5in ), 95cm ( 37.4in ), 110cm ( 43.3in ).

The shorty length is 75cm ( 29.5in ) measured from split ring to split ring. Your camera will rest mid chest. Our most popular sizes for wearing around the neck are 95cm and 110cm. For cross body use, 110cm or 125cm will be the most comfortable and functional lengths with the 125cm perfect when wearing a bulky jacket.

 

FITTING SPLIT RING STRAPS

We have provided two round leather protectors which are placed over the camera lugs prior to fitting the split rings. They help minimise contact between the split rings and the camera body. Lug placement on cameras varies between models so you can decide when fitting the strap if they are required.

Position one end of the strap adjacent to the lug on your camera with the rope below the lug and the logo facing toward the camera. This will position the logo side of the strap in the correct position when in use.

Pry open the split ring only wide enough so it fits over the camera lug. This can be done with either your thumb nail or a small flat blade screw driver. ( We find using your thumb nail is the easiest option but take no responsibility if you break a nail or scratch your nail polish. Also pushing the opened split ring though the lug is easier than pulling the ring through the lug ).

Be careful not to open the split ring too much as it may not return to it's original closed position.

After the first side is attached remove any twists in the strap and attach the second split ring.

CLEANING

Wipe down rope with a damp cotton cloth or microfibre cloth. Do not immerse the leather ends in water to clean. If the leather ends do get wet dry in the shade.

The Australian made rope we use is designed to be soft to touch, colour fast, UV stable, washable and has a breaking strain measured in the hundreds of kilograms.
