NEW 'SLIP' Wrist Strap



A recent addition to the 'Footprint' range of straps.
Self adjusting via a running ring which is welded
for strength. 
Made in both Italian Dakota full grain leather and 
Sedgwicks bridle leather in a choice of colours.
Italian Dakota is the softer more flexible leather
and in my view more suitable for todays compact
cameras through to the rangefinder type. Bridle 
leather is a little less forgiving initially but does
soften considerably with use. Recommended for
heavier DSLR/Lens combinations. This is not to 
say that a soft Dakota leather would not be suitable
for a DSLR.  They are both made in the same way
i.e. all joints are glued and saddle stitched to ensure
strength before being bound with a super strong
waxed polyester thread.

Fitted with split ring and rubber bumper ring ready
to attach to your camera. These straps are also
available with both Swivel and Loop fittings.
(See pics below for examples).

We have just taken delivery of the Italian full grain leather
in Dakota Black. A superb quality leather which is very 
supple with an attractive grain.  This will be offered as an
option alongside our bridle leather range.  Other colours 
are shown in our post on 'Leather'.  Both the Tan and 
Papaya Dakota have proved very popular since their
introduction earlier this year.

I'm 6' 11"



Had an email from a guy recently who says " I'm 6' 11" and a 40 inch shoulder strap would leave my camera very comfortably in my armpit"......only kidding, but you get the idea.
Seriously though, you may well be 6'+ and a 40 inch
strap won't cut it.  
If that's the case, please contact me and let me know what
you require. We use 40" as an average because it suits a
lot of users.  My Ebay account doesn't allow me to list size and colour options.  Same again with wrist straps...if you have larger than average hands and would like something slightly
bigger, contact me or add a note to your order. In the majority
of cases there will be no extra charge. If you would like to
confirm before you order, by all means contact me.

We now have seven colours of leather and twenty plus trim colours, not to mention connectors i.e. split rings, loop,
swivel etc.  The combinations are endless and far too many
to list.  Currently we have over 50 listings and this doesn't
begin to cover the possibilities.  Please use the listings as 
a guide and make your own choice.  If you'd like a shoulder
strap 46 inches in length in Havana with Pink trim, just ask!
......we can do it.
