What strap are you using for the Q?


Recommended Posts

Arte Di Mano Minerva black white stitching 125 cm. Waiting for delivery of my half case of the same material. Way too expensive, but so nice.

 

There is not a perfect strap or bag, but I continue to search and buy candidates. My wife thinks I'm a little nuts. She's right, I am!

In my opinion, after using the strap daily I've come to the realisation that there's  a lot not to like about the strap supplied with the Q, and many other strap suppliers are not very innovative.  I noticed that the Leica Q strap was too short, the ring was too small in diameter and is weak,  and there is insufficient protection of the Q camera body where the strap, ring and lug meet. Other suppliers are asking way too much for straps.

my solution. - after some experimentation - was to talk to a manufacturer (in Portugal). He sells under the name of Janzls on eBay. I asked him to provide one of his models with extra length, and some other features.  He completed the work in a day and it's on it's way to me now.

I'm having a leather one piece strap, stitched, 115cm, with a sliding neck pad, and completely integrated lug protectors so that at no time can the ring rub against the body.  All at a sensible price.

Bought one of these from art and artisan

 

Only £30, really comfortable with good protection for the camera lug:

simplest and most solid -a recipe I used for all my previous cameras.

20cm of climber's thin rope. Available in a range of colors, as climbing is fashion, and the full roll costs some €, which would allow for maybe 500 straps ;-)

Weights nothing, folds into any cam package, and if there is one thing I'm sure -with this I'll never drop the cam.

I've used parachute cord for a wrist strap for many years. Works great. Extremely easy to forget your have it around your wrist, yet 100% confident the camera will not drop. It won't fit through the lug like your thin climbers rope. I've used a small split ring and never had any problem. I may try climbers rope now. Good idea.

Stephens Manchester have decided to stock the Artisan & Artist strap ACAM 295 cited by Colonel [130, above] and I have just ordered one in black. It matches my preferred shoulder strap for earlier Leica M cameras.

I bought the "Tie Her Up" Rivera 120cm, which is v nice and has understated old fashioned class. However, the A+A ACAM-301 which

I have on my M9-P, although it's slightly more bulky, it slides a lot easier when worn across the chest.
