relms Posted April 12, 2019 Share #21 Posted April 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I prefer a hand strap over a shoulder strap most of the time. The leather Herringbone camera hand strap (or clutch if you prefer) works perfectly and is very comfortable used on my SL in connection with the RRS L-bracket. Since I attached it I have not once used a shoulder strap. I haven't yet tried it on the S1R, but I see no reason why it would not work as well with it in connection with the BP-CS plate. I should know in a few days; I have another one on order. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Herringbone-Heritage-Hand-Strap-Grip-for-DSLR-Camera-Black-Red-Stitching-Type1/173581311842?hash=item286a409f62:g:zqkAAOSw5atbvbld. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's exactly what I've been looking for. I usually just wrap the neck strap around the palm of my hand, but it's not the most effective or elegant solution. I've ordered the Herringbone, and while it comes with a base plate that is allegedly compatible with an Arca mount, I've also ordered the RRS the BP-CS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron777 Posted April 18, 2019 Share #23 Posted April 18, 2019 The Herringbone strap/grip and RRS plate arrived and both are now installed on my S1R, however, the Herringbone was a bit of a puzzle to install, even with a Japanese video on youtube. That said, it seems to work well but will take some getting accustomed to. Thanks again for the information. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted April 20, 2019 Share #24 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I was going to come in here and recommend Tamrac's padded quick release suede straps. I think they were the "N-45" model. Looking at their site, they seem to be replaced with something that looks flimsier. This is a huge shame...I have 2 or 3 of these straps that I use on my heavier cameras like my Leica S, Mamiya 7II and now this S1. They are extremely durable and have a nice quick release mount to take the strap off for studio use. I have been using them for years, and have not found a more comfortable or practical strap for my purposes. They are not fancy, but they stay put well on the shoulder, are comfortable on bare skin, and still flexible and soft enough to wrap around your hand to use more as a wrist strap. They are also not cold like some pure leather straps can be in the winter...maybe that is a local pet peeve!

ron777 Posted April 20, 2019 Share #25 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) The herringbone hand strap, despite its convoluted installation requirement, works quite well with the S1R. Thank you for the recommendation. Thank you for the Tamarac suggestion, but I will give the Herringbone a chance and see how it works over time.

Then it will accept all the straps I have modified with QD connectors. Gordon I did it just like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing close for security Thanks for the suggestion, but I prefer a handgrip/strap rather than a shoulder strap, as I never allow a camera to swing from my neck or shoulder. For daily portage I use an Oberwerth messenger type bag that I shoulder carry, making camera retrieval quick and safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michali Posted May 2, 2019 Share #32 Posted May 2, 2019 I used this paint: Flat Black Touch Up Paint I find the writing on all these cameras too jarring, I've done this on all DSLRs & Mirrorless cameras that I've owned.

tom0511 Posted May 4, 2019 Share #36 Posted May 4, 2019 On some cameras I use straps frpm Eddycam made from Elch-leather, wich is super soft but still robust. However right now on the s1r I just use the original Panasonic-Strap. Works fine so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
