likealot Posted November 16, 2016 Share #201 Posted November 16, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the "Riviera" from TieHerUp Straps. I love it!! I'm more keen on the braided style straps. I was looking at the RocknRoll on TieHerUp and really like that one too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Hi likealot, Take a look here What strap are you using for the Q?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
vamp07 Posted November 17, 2016 Share #202 Posted November 17, 2016 I'm more keen on the braided style straps. I was looking at the RocknRoll on TieHerUp and really like that one too. Does look cool but I bet it's a heavy strap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted November 17, 2016 Share #203 Posted November 17, 2016 Sorry to Say, but I find the original version more stylish. Or is it just me? Q I mean +2 :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccaaarrr Posted November 17, 2016 Share #204 Posted November 17, 2016 I'm using A&A acam-295, which is perfect for Q! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thr1961 Posted November 30, 2016 Share #205 Posted November 30, 2016 Another fan of the Harry Benz "B" strap in dark brown. I just spent 11 days in Central America and it was perfect when used for both cross chest and wrist wrap. Plus Harry kindly rushed my order through so I would have it for the trip -- it is so rare to experience this kind of customer service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munene Posted June 19, 2017 Share #206 Posted June 19, 2017 Hi, I am not sure anyone is still following this thread. I am waiting for the battery to charge, I just took the camera out of the box! I already put on a haze filter and the sun shade. I looked at the strap and didn't think I would like it, but nothing better to do, I put it on. Yuk, I no leica! (heh, heh). I have a great strap on my Fuji, an "OP/TECH", it's pliable (can wrap it around my wrist) and won't slip off your shoulder. I was going to borrow it until I ordered a new one. But then I was struck with inspiration. The best strap I have used came with my Leica M-6. It is sitting on my shelf, in great condition. So, that is the strap I will be using! : )Oh, and I was struck with how heavy the M-6 is. With all the plastic-y materials these days, brass outweighs them! It is near twice the weight of my Fuji and new Q! Yet, smaller than both. : )Munene Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted June 19, 2017 Share #207 Posted June 19, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Recently purchased a Harry Benz wrist strap for another camera. Very expensive, had a long wait, but am convinced is the best out there. Very comfortable. I have a lot of other straps but getting Harry Benz for all my cameras now. Also getting away from neck straps. They take up too much room in my bag. And if carrying a bag, that's where the camera sits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandK Posted June 19, 2017 Share #208 Posted June 19, 2017 . Also getting away from neck straps. They take up too much room in my bag. And if carrying a bag, that's where the camera sits. I agree the rationale and I opted for the Tie Her Up Komboloi wrist strap in black. Flexible and works well, especially with a Thumbs Up and in black is discreet. I had an old Think Tank Hubba Hubba Hiney and that is what goes over my shoulder - takes the Q and a SF40 flash and other bits as needed.

jmschuh Posted June 19, 2017 Share #209 Posted June 19, 2017 https://tieherup-camera-straps.myshopify.com/products/snake-camera-straps-thu-ss More flexible than the new Leica Rope Straps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3996 Posted June 24, 2017 Share #210 Posted June 24, 2017 Got myself a Q yesterday. While the neck strap feels nice, I'm not really the intended audience. Wrist strap it is! Generally a fan of Gordy's, this time I went for the ACAM 292R. Hope it comes soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malbooth Posted June 26, 2017 Share #211 Posted June 26, 2017 I bought some straps from Lance via Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/au/people/lancecamerastraps They are all good. I bought one classic non-adjust neck strap and twi wrist straps: a lug-wrist strap (more secure but harder to get your hand out); and a classic lug wrist strap which is more flexible and comfortable but probably less secure (as it feels more likely to just slide off my wrist). I've not yet used the neck strap, but I'm more of a wrist strap user for cameras of the Leica Q size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgo2 Posted July 7, 2017 Share #212 Posted July 7, 2017 I use a fabric wrist strap from Black Rapid. It attaches to the tripod mount, which I prefer to the side strap lug, because the camera hangs horizontally, rather than vertically. I have tried fairly high-end twisted rope style straps which I found to be more irritating to the skin than the BR fabric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
creidtaylor Posted July 15, 2017 Share #213 Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) After using a couple of A&A straps, a woven and an adjustable, and a Dead Cameras shoulder strap I finally sprung for a Benz. Right out of the box it's a perfect fit, feels good, doesn't slip off my shoulder and looks great (the iPhone pic doesn't do it justice). I look forward to breaking it in.

falcon468 Posted July 15, 2017 Share #214 Posted July 15, 2017 I use my Q with a small shoulder bag for protection, a Think Tank SubUrban Disguise 5. Since this is the case, I opted for a medium length Gordy's hand strap with a wrist pad and leather bumper for protection. I have used these straps on my Lumix M4/3 rig and have traveled the world with a similar setup. I have the Leica protector as well and added a small grip to it (everything is black). I carry the bag over my shoulder and when I need it, I just draw the camera out of the bag, sliding my hand into the wrist strap and grip. I understand the many options that are available; however, I really enjoy the Q with the Gordy's hand strap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriepa Posted July 15, 2017 Share #215 Posted July 15, 2017 Found the kit strap a bit short, stiff, and not adjustable for wearing across my chest. On the recommendation of others here I purchased the Peak Design Leash and so far am happy with it. The Dyneema anchors are a tight fit as mentioned, but I made a little loop from 30 lb nylon fishing line, and with a firm steady hand the anchors can be pulled through the fastening rings rather easily. The Leash takes up almost no extra space in packing the Q in the small bag the I had purchased for my Typ 109. As a bonus, the connectors and adjuster are all non-metal, so there is little danger of scratching things up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyring Posted July 22, 2017 Share #220 Posted July 22, 2017 What works well for me is a bootlace I picked up in a bazaar in Zanjan and a home-made grip. I like being able to hold the camera with my fingertips on the grip and the weight on my wrist. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
