If you're the type of photographer who likes wearing NFL orange bibs emblazoned with corporate logos, then you probably LIKE the wide camera straps that advertise the brand camera you use.
Those of us who prefer a discreet, narrow camera strap that doesn't cut into our neck, nor forces us to be a walking billboard without compensation, then here's the camera strap.
Handcrafted by a working photojournalist, using nylon tubular webbing and Montana Elk leather, you will be treating yourself to one of the very best camera straps made.
Wapiti Straps are made by David Grubbs, staff photographer of the Billings Gazette. They come in two non-adjustable lengths of 32" and 36", or you can order a custom length that suits your needs.
Presently the strap is designed for cameras that have lugs for split ring attachment, but Grubbs is working on a model for cameras that use the wide eyelet attachment style.
All lengths are $32.95, plus $3.00 shipping.
Wapiti means elk in a Montana Native American language. You'll have to ask Grubbs which language.
