I’ve never been a fan of complicated camera straps. To be honest, I’d rather use the manufacturer’s camera strap than some fancy contraption I spent $500 for that isn’t efficient.
Simple camera straps provide the flexibility you need to shoot. They allow you to move as much as you need to. They also look classy in any scenario, so you’ll always impress your clients.
I’ve been a fan of Holdfast’s products for years, and they recently released a brand-new classic camera strap that has the comfort, construction, and price I love to see.
Comfort
Unlike most simple camera straps, Holdfast’s Classic Camera Strap is not one-size-fits-all. You can customize both the width and the length of the camera strap.
This camera strap fits every body size because you can buy a strap as short as 38 inches and as long as 52 inches.
Although you won’t really understand the importance of this until you have shot with the wrong sized strap, having a customizable camera strap allows you to keep your camera exactly where it’s easiest for you to access.
There’s nothing quite like a strap that does its job well without causing you discomfort!

Construction
Durability is one of the most important traits of any camera gear, but especially true of the only thing between your camera and the ground.
As explained in the video above, Holdfast’s Classic Strap is made of the same leather the rest of their pricier lineup is, which means it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Also, the camera strap solely uses stainless steel clasps, which won’t rust in the rain and will never break.
Plus, the Holdfast engineers thought of everything when it comes to durability. Each stainless steel clasp features a leather shroud to protect your camera from any dings or scratches from the metal. Nice!

Price
While camera straps can cost immense amounts of money, like I mentioned in the intro, a simple camera strap shouldn’t.
You can purchase the Holdfast Classic Strap for just $95, which is unheard of pricing when it comes to technology with a lifetime guarantee.
Plus, only spending $100 on your camera strap means you can spend that much more on the rest of your camera gear!
