Finally- camera strap sleeves

Took me forever to figure out which way I wanted to go with these. Most people that emailed me about making straps wanted something that they could slip over their own strap. Something lightweight they could carry in their camera bag and be able to change.

When I looked into buying straps and covering them and then selling the whole strap- I was a bit concerned with durability. I didn’t want to buy cheap straps and have it break on someones expensive camera. This seemed to be the thought among those that wrote to me after buying those types of straps elsewhere. But if I bought really expensive straps then I would have to charge a lot more for them to cover my cost.

I finally made up my mind one night at a Blue Jackets game. Andy asked for my camera to go down to the ice to take some pictures. I pulled out this

He said No Way. So I pulled the sleeve off and away he went with the boring “man-strap”. If I had sewn the cover onto the strap- he would have had to take the camera without the strap- or (god forbid) use my camera with a flower strap. So that pretty much made up my mind. Sleeves were the answer. The best part is that they are lightweight and you can just fold them up and put them in your camera bag and switch them out when you feel the need for a change.

You can find them here.
