Can I use this strap with any camera?

This strap is specifically designed for cameras equipped with retaining lugs. It is ideal for medium format cameras but can be used with other digital cameras that feature these attachment points.

How do I clean the strap?

What materials is the strap made from?

The strap is made from a combination of Elastane, Metal, Neoprene, and Nylon.

Is the locking mechanism difficult to use?

The locking slide mechanism is designed for security and is intended to be operated after the clip is attached. It should be straightforward to engage and disengage with practice.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels uncomfortable

Adjust the strap length for a better fit and ensure the neoprene pad is positioned correctly on your shoulder or neck. Check that the camera is balanced on the strap.

Metal clip won't attach securely

Ensure the camera's retaining lug is compatible with the clip design and that there is no obstruction on the lug or within the clip.

Locking slide mechanism is stiff

Gently operate the slide a few times. Ensure there is no debris caught in the mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Strap length adjustment slips

Ensure the sliders are fully engaged and have not been damaged. Check the webbing for any fraying that might prevent secure adjustment.
