DonovanMediaCenter Posted March 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ordering Q2, and might get flat antique brown Leica strap. But some have said it slips around. Also considering braided leather on assumption it may have less slip against shoulder. Want to stay below $150. Thoughts?

Advertisement Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Hi DonovanMediaCenter, Take a look here Braided Leather Strap or Flat?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Dave in Wales Posted March 21, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2022 Braided I understand, can be very noisy. Seen a video to that effect on YT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted March 21, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 21, 2022 DonovanMediiaCenter, First, welcome to the forum. Second, flat leather can slip. Third, you might consider how you want the strap to work...over the shoulder, across the chest. I gave up on neck straps long ago, especially when I owned the Q. For me, I use a wrist strap from RocknRoll on all my cameras, nothing more. My neck is a lot better off without it. There are many vendors out there with all types of straps. It gets down to personal preference. I am certain other forum photographers will chime in with their well meaning ideas. r/ Mark Try: www.rocknrollstraps.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted March 21, 2022 Share #4 Posted March 21, 2022 For a long strap I prefer it to be a bit slippy, because I wear it across the body with the camera on the right. The strap needs to slip when I bring it up to the eye. Wearing a strap just around the neck with the camera at the front is too uncomfortable for me and doesn't restrain the camera from swinging. But I don't see how being slippy or not makes a difference here. The only time I can think a non-slip strap is a benefit is when you carry it on just one shoulder, which is a high risk use. Most of the time I use only a wrist strap though! And I have no long leather straps - just the Leica nylon version (unused) and a Luigi 'silky' strap (occasionally on my M4). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
