Padwa Lifestyle 2" Classic Crazy Horse Camera Strap 📷
Product description
This vintage-style camera strap combines a 2 inch wide cotton webbing with top-grain crazy horse cowhide ends to give photographers a comfortable and hard-wearing carry option for long shoots and travel. It relieves shoulder and neck pressure during extended use while offering reinforced leather attachment points that, according to the manufacturer, withstand heavy loads up to around 30 pounds.
Key Points
The strap measures 2 inches (5 cm) in width and adjusts from a minimum length of 31.5 inches (80 cm) to a maximum of 60.5 inches (153 cm), so it can be worn around the neck, across the body or over one shoulder for cross-body shooting. The central cotton webbing uses retro embroidery and a breathable twill-like finish that helps reduce slipping and improve comfort during all-day use. Two attachment systems are provided to suit a wide range of cameras and optical gear, with protective cowhide pads to prevent abrasion to camera bodies.
Technical Specifications
Name: Padwa Lifestyle 2" Wide Classic Crazy Horse Art Cowhide Head Camera Strap
- Width: 2 inches (5 cm)
- Adjustable length: 31.5 inches (80 cm) to 60.5 inches (153 cm)
- Materials: top-grain cowhide leather ends, cotton webbing main strap
- Attachment options: high-density nylon rope + POM plastic buckle, circular metal ring with leather pad
Advantages
The leather ends feature multiple layers of stitching and copper rivets for reinforcement, which gives the strap a reassuring feel when carrying heavier DSLR kits. The crazy horse finish on the cowhide develops a patina over time, adding character while maintaining durability. The wide cotton band spreads load across the shoulder better than narrow straps, which can reduce fatigue on long assignments.
Usage Recommendations
For heavier SLRs and larger zoom lenses use the reinforced nylon rope and POM buckle fixing for a secure connection. When using smaller mirrorless cameras the metal ring attachment with the cowhide protective pad helps avoid scratches on the camera body while still keeping the camera easily accessible. Consider adjusting the length to a slightly shorter cross-body position for active photography or a longer neck position for casual carry during travel.
(Note: the manufacturer states a robust construction and offers a five-year product warranty, and users should consider that extreme exposure to moisture or abrasive conditions may affect leather over time).
