How do you carry when there is no....

....strap or leash connections on your favorite RF.....

In my case a Voigtlaander Vito CLR, I like to keep it loose without the leather case when im out driving around.

Still, I'd like a nice shoulder strap.

I use a little Domke F-5XB generally whether the camera I'm using has strup lags or not ... I would rather have the Domke over my shoulder with the flap undone for easy access than have the camera actually hanging around my neck on a strap.

Wrist strap or Blackrapid. Or pocket. Or very small camera bag.

Recommending a wrist strap when the TO says, there is no connector for a wrist strap...?

Does it have a tripod thread? If so, I recommend a Sun Sniper Strap. I think, they are very popular for DSLRs, but there is a small model, which is build for smaller cameras. I use that one for the R-D1 and the CLE and it's perfect for street shooting, because no other strap I know of is that fast.

Tripod socket.

Re-read his post. He DOESN'T say there is no connector for a wrist strap, just "strap or leash connections". A tripod socket is far and away the best way to fit a wrist strap, which is why I tend to forget that some people thread bits of string through the strap lugs.

I've had Vitos and I've never seen one without a tripod socket.

Same here,
I like using bags more than shoulder/neck straps.

Although a good tripod-mount wrist strap is very handy when the camera is out of the bag. It's also very quick to switch between cameras.

Well, I'm not a native speaker. My understanding was, that "no connector" means no place, where you could place a wrist strap at all. But OTOH if there are wrist straps, that you can screw into the tripod thread, then we had the same recommendation, except that mine was a shoulder strap, and yours a wrist strap.

Actually I recommended both: BlackRapids are shoulder straps.

The Black Rapid SnapR 35 may work.. its a bag, shoulder (cross body) strap anda wrist strap all in one. Check the dimensions, see if it will work.. otherwise, get it just for the two straps.

Alao, have a look at the Luma labs Pod Mount

A Gordy wrist-strap with tripod mount. 🙂

 

[Corto]

Thanks All, I'm researching the Tripod mount straps now and will probably get a few of them for some other camera's as well.

I really enjoy the Gordy strap with the tripod mount connector...

Just how safe are tripod-mount straps, especially the shoulder ones? That probably sounds stupid - a lot of people obviously use them - but I'd be petrified of the strap coming unscrewed. Do people loctite them in or something?

 

[jippiejee]

It's a very tight screw really, I never worried. Just feel it now and then if still fixed. It doesn't come loose without considerable force.

Never had a problem with wrist straps in 40+ years, and my wife has never had a problem with her BlackRapid shoulder strap since it came out, though Blackrapid recommend a dab of spit in the end of the screw (honestly!).

A dab of spit? What's the logic/science there?

 

[jippiejee]

I put up all my bookshelves in the house with a dab of spit.

I'm obviously missing a trick here: it'd certainly save on Rawl plugs.
