maxfairclough Posted December 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi! I am looking for this particular rope strap I discovered while stalking someone's Instagram page. I have the black Leica COOPH rope straps and it isn't this one. This one appears to be charcoal/grey. Is it even COOPH? I don't think it's the Zegna collaboration either. Alternative brand maybe? I have asked. The person is unresponsive haha.

erniethemilk Posted December 22, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 22, 2021 Most likely an independent seller, lots of them out there making rope straps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Brown Posted December 22, 2021 Share #10 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) 15$ all over eBay if you are up for such endeavour. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Love the colour but probably not the same quality made like the COOPH/Leica one it seems. For that price it's worth a punt! Cheers bud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxfairclough Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share #15 Posted December 22, 2021 OK so the person just got back to me, just now.

Herr Barnack Posted December 22, 2021 Share #17 Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Here's one from ebay that looks awfully close to the one from the dealer in Japan: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254905488488?hash=item3b598d1468:g:dEEAAOSwUstgUUCh I have one of the Vi Vante rope straps that i got from amazon - they are great straps: https://www.amazon.com/Vi-Vante-Sheetline-electroplated-mounting/dp/B07N38BFSB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=27IT0DEZRLNWV&keywords=rope%2Bcamera%2Bstrap%2Bvivante&qid=1640198225&sprefix=rope%2Bcamera%2Bstrap%2Bvi%2Bvante%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-1&th=1 Edit After giving this some thought, another possibility is to make your own. On Amazon, you can get a 10 m./32 ft. length of 10.5 mm static line for $19.99 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0924PK159/ref=nav_signin?psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzSU5TV0w3QzJJREdPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzMwNTIyMTNIVU1COFRTNEExNiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzU1MjM4SlVZWjMwNVZFTldaJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfaHFwX3NoYXJlZCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=& You could also go to a hiking/camping/climbing shop and buy 10mm static line for around 60 cents USD per foot, so around $4.00 would buy a length of rope long enough to make a cross body strap (130-140 cm. in length). We have a leather works shop locally, which sells leftover leather scraps for a song. I would expect they would be willing to sew together a length of climbing rope with leather ends I made from scraps bought from them for not much money. It would not be hard at all to design leather strap ends made to hold split rings for attachment to camera body strap lugs. Or a person could pay $110 for the rope straps sold by COOPH. 😨 I'm going to give this a try for one of my after Christmas projects.

Truth is, I would have a hard time dropping $179 USD on this strap when a Harry Benz Vintage B is $140. The $39 saved could go toward the purchase of the $9600 USD M11 body I'm GASing for.. I guess I'm just a tightwad at heart... 😅 Edited December 24, 2021 by Herr Barnack 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
