The Strapateer 'Type C' Camera Strap Black
Strapateer
A new addition to our line up for SS24, camera straps by The Strapateer! A faithful reproduction of original straps from the 60's and 70's, which gained popularity amongst world renowned Photojournalists capturing world events like the Vietnam war. Now made entirely by hand in the UK, with leather sourced from the same tannery as the original, Nickel plated hardware and hand hammered tensile rivets.
Originally designed in the 60's and adopted by every self respecting Photojournalist of the era. We're talking legends like Gary Winogrand, Paul Schutzer, Kyoichi Sawada, Larry Burrows and perhaps most iconically (though fictional), Dennis Hopper as 'The Photojournalist' in Apocalypse now. The Strapateer Systems were built to survive the harsh conditions of warfare in the Jungles of Vietnam, to the Cuban revolution or the American Civil Rights Movement.
The Type C Strap is made to carry two cameras, one above the other. The Type C uses the heavier duty 1" straps from the Type B, along with two sets of straps for two cameras. The lengths of all straps can be adjusted with the slip buckles, to accommodate for cameras of all sizes/ cameras with larger viewfinders. This is a great way to carry both medium format and 35mm cameras, or cameras set up with different lenses/ film stocks. The straps can also be unclipped so as to carry just one camera at a time.

*After the UK’s recent departure from the European Union, there has been an unavoidable upheaval in all trade.
To help ease the confusion, we use a shipping partner to assist us with all international shipments, which allows us to show you, upfront, all costs before delivery including duties and customs know as DDP (Delivery Duty Paid).
All prices are inclusive of processing and delivery fees (excluding courier fees where applicable) meaning the price shown is the price you will pay delivered to you, with no hidden customs or clearance fees!
All orders placed from within the EU have the local rate of VAT added and paid within destination country; so no excess VAT will be charged upon arrival and we do not collect UK VAT. This also means that you are able to pay in local currency (or the currency of your choice) to a local bank account, as well as offering payment plans wherever applicable.
