I use the strap from an old Wii controller and it's great haha
Same here!
Haha I just looked it up and it looks comfy! :D
haha omg i'm not the only one doing this!
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Boston Kane Instablaster ;)
Making the impossible possible: an interesting and entertaining camera-strap video, yaaay! 🙌🏻
Haha danke Karin! :D
Great little video exploring the straps.Working for forty years in photography the straps can make or break a job or mood !
Getting it right is essential, things as you describe need to be harmonious and fluid.
Thanks Gary. Yeah, you wouldn't want to use a wrist strap all day for a wedding or event with multiple cameras and lenses.
thanks for the tip on winding one side of the strap around your arm, I was twisting the whole strap up and it was uncomfortable and would get loose really easily!
Great video! I mostly carry my X100T cross-body with a Peak Design Leash.
PD's anchor link system would actually allow you to get your camera off you without taking your jacket off.
My strap is attached to the left hand side of the camera (when looking through the viewfinder/LCD) and the bottom of it through the tripod mount so that my right hand is unobstructed when I operate the camera and it is facing the ground/my body when I carry it (less chance of the lens bumping into something and it allows me to grab the camera a bit easier, kind of like a gun from a holster).
Thank you for making this video Sam, It's such an underrated part of photography. I'm always trying to improve my strap setup.
Can totally relate to carrying a smaller digital camera when going out shooting film. It’s always good to have a good digital backup
Yeah and it's still nice to have something more sophisticated then just the smartphone.
I got recently GRII for that purpose. To be honest I couldn't be happier. I will get eventualy x100v but for now my film camera and gr is perfect duo :)
Awesome video! There's not too many people making videos about straps from what I've seen, and it's really handy that you made one.
I'm more of a long strap person. I have a Pentax Spotmatic, and trying to use shorter straps to hang an SLR across my body is too short for my liking. It always gets in the way of my arm and hand when I have it by my side. I got a long leather strap a couple of years ago, and I love it.
I love the crossbody strap method, especially for rangefinding and mirrorless cameras. For DSLR or heavier cameras, I'm more used to the whist strap. (not the light-weight ones, but the ones that are wrapping around the hand.
I use the peak design strap, you can wrap it round your wrist, and quickly adjust between neck strap and cross body, and it also has quick release to take the strap off
u the best sam. thanks for making this vid! always looking to upgrade my strap setup
They used to drive me nuts at first, but one of the nicest neck straps I grew to love are those silicone ones that came with the Leica T series cameras. They grip your clothing very well so you don’t need to worry about your camera sliding down your arm and falling off if you’re carrying it one armed, etc. Yes, it’s a bummer when it gets hot and humid it sticks to your skin a bit with sweat, but the security of the camera is a beneficial trade off
Nice job sharing ideas and styles on something most people don’t think about at all!
For my Fuji, I use a leather wrist strap 95% of the time.
I have a thin leather neck strap too, but I hate how it bounces on my chest when I walk, it doesn’t stay “up” on my shoulder, and it’s too short to wear cross-body 🤷🏻♂️
Looking forward to hearing more about the straps you’re making!!
I bought some small key rings and mini snap hook for camping so I use them in order to easily quick release every kind of camera strap
Good stuff. Thanks for the video! just subscribed - I dig your vibe man.
Thanks Samuel and good luck for your new business you'll do great! With my Canon 5D Mark II I used a neoprene neck strap that made it much lighter. With Fuji I use rather thin leather neck straps only
Thanks man! Good idea to use a light strap on a heavy camera!
I use a wriststrap made out from an ID lanyard for my xpro1. Been tempted to replace it with those fancy leather wriststrap, but those are bulky in my pocket. The cross body strap is the winner for me in this video.
My preferred setup is a hybrid approach. I have a wrist strap for when I'm actively shooting and a peak design capture clip when I need both hands free or my arm gets tired.
I'm not a big fan of neck straps since my neck starts to hurt after a while and the camera tends to swing dangerosly while hiking. I also find longer straps have a tendency to get in the way of my viewfinder sometimes when taking a shot.
My hybrid approach solves all of those problems. The capture clip holds my camera tightly when hiking, while the wrist strap gives maximum flexibility.
Looking forward to getting those new straps of yours ✌🏼
This spring I googled and googled for an adjustable camera strap. I checked the out reviews and decided on the Artisan&Artist ACAM - E25R. It's length adjustable. Bought one for myself, tried it out and found its length adjustable in a flash. My wife is shorter but it slides shorter to accommodate her. Over your shoulder, across your chest...no problem. Looked at so many, love this one. Also, the easy adjustment is great for summer with just a T-shirt, autumn and winter coats. You wouldn't have to tie the strap behind your head as you demonstrated. I paid $75 CA. You can order with ring attachment (with leather protectors) or the loop attachment.
That's is a very cool strap! I have a few friends who are using it, too. And Artisan&Artist are nicely made.
Hi Samuel. Love your video. Very thought out , consistent, and informative. I lived in Bavaria, Germany near Würzburg, for over 30 years total. Now I live in Texas. I found the weather in Germany a lot more agreeable. It gets way too hot here.
Very much appreciate this video. Helped me decide that I'll go for a crossbody strap.
I got a bit longer neck strap that i found cheap and it is my favourite so far.
Thank you for bringing up this topic. Can you shed some lights on why braided/rope strap is getting quite popular now? I am wondering if they are too narrow and put too much strain on your neck if the camera + lens is not light. I think it looks cool and wanted to get one.
I'm always using a sling strap that hangs my 7dii on the hip. Super nice that it has a clip under the arm to keep it from sliding about and I dont notice the weight with the padding. 😎
Sam: Any update on your strap project? There are very few options out there that suit the GR.
I use a finger-loop-strap-thing from the zip of an outdoor bag, to connect my middle finger and the camera. Very mini.
The wrist seem to be the best. Faster and can be discreet. Thanks for the tips. Entertaining and informative as usual.
I like the peak design straps and I have the quick release strap so you can lengthen or shorten quickly.
I use a large keyring looped into the lug and just wear the camera essentially like a ring.
For neck and cross straps I like rock n roll straps. Btw a link for that thumb rest on your GRIII? 🤔😜
Great video. I Love ergonomics, it’s always good to listen your point of view, 👍
Glad to hear that Karol! Cheers :)
I recently bought PD cuff strap for GR because the factory strap seemed to me a bit too "toy-ish?" and i have more firm grip with the cuff. Also Im using neck strap as a wrist strap as you showed. The best method for me for now :) I need to test the third "new" method that you showed and check how it works for me. Great video!! :)
Peak Designs straps swapping across the body or to wrist strap with the clips that detach quickly and easily. One idea you might like to experiment with your straps is some guitar strings in the middle of the two layers of the strap so that it can't be cut from behind. Jacket tip was great. Security in some countries is worth considering.
X100V: Peak Designs Wrist Cuff
Canon EOS R: Peak Designs Slide
I love them both!
Leica M4-2: handmade local artist leather wrist strap. Beautiful and uncompromising functionality.
I have my strap lengthened cross shoulder as it gives me literally every option.
Though when I'm actively shooting a lot I do a super tight wrist wrap.
I put a Domke strap on all my cameras as I find it super comfortable, versatile, and durable.
when I wanna wear it as a neck strap I disconnect the middle clippy thing and loop it which shortens it perfectly.
(that probably makes no sense if you aren't familiar with Domke straps.) ha
....and that concludes my Ted talk on straps.....
Thanks Samuel, found that really useful, cheers. Use wrist strap on A6400 and Neck strap for D800- agree with your points
Thanks Neil! Yeah same here, for heavy cameras a neck strap is good, for small cameras wrist strap is enough.
@@SamuelStreetlife what would you say is a good length for a cross body strap? IM around 5' 11". Did you have the one you showed at the max length?
Definitely wrist strap for compact cameras and I rock the cross body for bigger camera. Wearing it around your neck the traditional way is annoying because the camera sways back and forth when you're walking. I'm thinking about buying the peak design capture clip for my backpack.
Oh yes good point about the neck strap swaying around!
Love the Vid! I personally wear it crossbody. Gotta buy a Gr now. So I can have one in my pocket too :D
Check the Diagnl Ninja strap. Over the shoulder and across the body. Length is adjustable with a quick buckle similar to a messenger bag. It also has a quick/side release buckle so you can take it off while wearing a jacket or bag over it.
Sehr informatives Video!
Oh my god! I love the GR strap!!! I have been looking for something like that. Soft and simple. I love the color too.
When are you going to sell it?? Can I buy it from you?
I want it for my X70. It’s so hard to find something similar to your strap in the USA.
Is that an Artisan strap your using on your CLE? Danke für das video!
something you guys might wanna try out buying a small bag that has clips and putting a camera strap on that. A cross body bag works just as well it allows you the freedom of moving the camera where ever but you can put the camera somewhere safe
Never thought about that! Sounds cool.
Going for a rope strap, thank you for the info!
I use the Peak Design wrist cuff for my GX85 and just a basic wrist strap for my GR2.
Well I also used to like the long shoulder straps where you have it across your body - until I began to use backpack photo bags. Not usable for that.
Thats true!
@Samuel Streetlife: I assume that the neck strap project never materialized as you considered. Do you happen to know where I can this kind of strap today? It seems simply perfect for my two GRs!
Mainly use some of the neck straps from Artisan&Artist. Using wrist or neck with these ones is easy. Some of them are adjustable.
I would like something for the GR, still using the one that comes with the camera but I will find the one
Hi Samuel.. where can I buy neck strap same like your strap for ricoh gr?
Hey what was the name of that black strap you used under your coat? Doesn’t seem to be listed in the description 🙏
Using wrist-strap on my Griii,and 80%on my Sony a7iii. Made it adjustable with a tie-rap( right word?).
Putting my Sony in a bag with a neck strap....hahaha the same as you. It looks like a reverse delivery....
Maybe an idea to make besides the GR straps, also produce mouth masks with GRrrrr on it ?
Very nice summary 👍. I'm a neck strap and wrist strap guy 🤝
Best of both worlds!
Bester Part im Video definitiv 8:31, hebt das Video aufs nächste Level! :). Wie heißt der wrist-strap bei dem Q2-Herrn, der auf abgetrennte Fischköpfe steht (9:43)?
Fist time here and I'm already curious: was that gorgeous framed photo on the wall taken by you?
Great vid BTW. :-)
Nice, welcome! :) And yes that is a picture I took in Bordeaux!
short rope neck strap for the film camera ( view finder a must) and long cross body for my digital
(2:13) "Ich glaube das war gut" 🤣
(6:54) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A buddy of mine has a very cool, long, adjustable strap from Peek Design which may be used both as cross-over and a neck strap, but without knots. He can adjust the length of the strap by his needs really quick.
For the most part I use neck straps. That one from the X-H1 is quite comfortable, but we'll see how I can handle the summer heat under it. Still, there's no strap that will prevent me from knocking a camera in the wall or something eventually, so for me the best strap is the one that holds the photo bag.
By the way, I've subscribed to your channel AGIN, course YT unsubscribed me for some weird reason...
I enjoyed the vid! Even though it was o oh about straps! 😂
Thank you well done!
I have sliding shoulder that strap doesn’t stay on, so I wear cross body all the time. Wear a jacket or shirt outside is my preference when I travel to new places to avoid unwanted attention and a bit safer. Leather strap has advantage of stay in position. My favorite strap is Vi Vance Matador SL version, I can use Peak Design Anchor Link with it, it’s braised leather so it’s soft and both sides are the same that I can slide the camera (I.e., Leica Q2 size and weight) to any position and stay there. Strap like PD only has traction in mid section, once you slide off center, it’s slippery and will slide back. Having the camera stay in mid to lower front position is perfect for hand and to avoid camera bump into things.
When i saw the finger strap 0:59 i thought yeah finally someone else uses it :D So i use home made leather finger strap with my Olympus omd m10 mii usually with 20mm lumix.
Hi, what is the cross-body strap here please? The link doesn't work. Would love to get this exact one. Thanks
Hey Sam, can you please list the cameras you showed here?
Thank you. i am plaining a large rope one.
straps on straps on straps! I'm glad you didn't talk about those holdfast double straps! haha
Allein für's Katzenintro Daumen hoch! 😂
I would like a tissue strap (I use light camera) that I can wear around my shoulder so it does'nt touch my neck. I'll wear it cross body. Please can you produce it? I can't find one
Ich glaube das war gut :D
Muss ja auch Regie machen :D
As recommended by Omar Gonzalez Optech USA give a good balance on price/quality. On a personal basis, i have the wrist strap which is very comfortable. I also have two of the neck straps. decent quality and non slip.
00:04 wow that shutter sound 😍😩
Haha! I saw that 😂
Great cat review! Does it come in black and aperture priority?
All cats are aperture priority - "feed me, feed me"
Love that thumbnail
On the problem of wearing the strap crossbody under the jacket, and then having to remove the jacket in order to quickly get rid of the strap: The Schwalberg Strap from long, long ago. Bob Schwalberg was a writer in one of the photography magazines, “Popular”, “Modern”, one of those. He devised a strap with a snap hook inserted within the length. Unhook the thing, and simply drag the strap out from underneath. Earned a nice income from it.
This is why i bought the GR, I don't like pushing film, I actually pull but at that cost I run out of light easy to keep shooting at 320 😕 Bring in the GR!!! with ISO and a delete button! 😜👍🏽 definitely my secondary camera for running out of light or film😁
Used to use wrist straps. Now I shoot less, and use a neck strap across my body, so I can swing it around to my back when I don’t use it.
Nice!
Peak Design Leash and wrist straps. Soft and flexible mounting system allows a quick change.
Many people love them. Good solution!
Anyone else use a finger strap like in 0:59 ? Kinda interested in trying that on my Olympus XA
8:30 It remind me those "as you seen on tv" commercials ;D
Riiight! Love how exaggerated they always are :D
i like using the elastic waistband from a size 58 in. boxer shorts.
My question is that you leave the camera on during street walking? Even when you put it in your pocket? The censor keeps reading, right? But if you turn off then there is risk that you will miss the shot
I turn my camera off when I put it in my pocket. The start up time of the GRIII is fast enough for me to get a quick snap when I see something. But ideally you should have your camera in your hands and turned on.
Which strap are u usimg for cross body? Jota barros made an interesting strap that is both neck amd wrist strap, told him on ig to make a tutorial
Did You find out which strap he uses? (the cross-body one)
@@Dr_Pessimisto nope i think
@@ArgentoRAWRz Sam actually anwsed my comment. The brand is called Dörr.
link to your camera strap used in 5:28 please 🥺
Hahaha, i am using the original canonet strap that came with my film camera, that thing is butter, and it also says made in japan, which make me feel better about life 😄
I have been using my GR3 without strap about a year now. Just slide in the pocket like a smartphone. Best.
do you notice any dust on the sensor of the griii?
2:13 Ja, war super! :)
Simplr camera straps are quite goo too, they don't get in the way! which I believe is their slogan too!
Where is the vemdor name of the long cross strap?
The adjustable (long or short) peak design strap
damn i was just wondering this
Niiice, perfect timing :)
I like the Carry Speed with my 5D
I need to remember to like videos more. It costs me nothing to help promote the content I enjoy in the algorithm, I just forget the button is there
Neck strap which you can turn into a wrist strap is the best imho. It's tiring to walk long time using only a wrist strap. I prefer therefor a neck strap to hang the camera over the shoulder and pick it if there is a good scene to photograph.
3:31 did this all the time in the past :D
i am transitioning from shooting on a rangefinder to GR, so i totally understand that moment 10:18
🔥🔥📸
Thanks Houdinii :D
Don't you guys (people who carry their camera cross body/ on torso) get scratches on your lcd? I used to carry my camera with a neck strap and boy the lcd got scratched to the point I had to change it hence I'm full wrist strap now.
What is this footage of the man sneaking behind the guy to take a photo? I find it interesting and want to see more.
That's Siegfried Hansen and it is from a video I shot that will come out someday... We are still working on it.
I sometimes hide my camera across and under my jacket, but I only remove one side of my jacket. Quick and fast.
When will you go to Japan again?
Cartier-Bresson 👍🏼 this video.
