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. 

  • Made in the UK
  • Leather sourced from original US tannery
  • Nickel plated hardware
  • Hammered tensile rivets
  • Two Nickel clips
  • Split rings to attach to camera lugs
  • Four straps for carrying two cameras
  • 1" wide
