About this deal

Stroppa produce rope and leather camera straps which may superficially resemble the cheap copies you see online, but in fact each one is hand produced by Mateusz with pride, from only the very best materials. The polypropylene silk cord is sourced from top quality producers in Poland and the United States. The ends are hand stitched using traditional Italian veg-tanned leather and Italian waxed thread. Even the stainless-steel split rings are handmade by a machinist friend of Mateusz. Now we continue by braiding the 4 stranded round braid on each side. We braid about 10 inches (25 cm) on each side. key rings for attaching your strap to the camera. Naturally, other attachment options are available. Snap hooks, carabiners and many more. Brian, the owner of Cordweaver, handmakes his classic “Cordy” camera wrist straps from genuine US manufactured Type III 550lb Paracord with seven internal strands rated to 249.4kg (550lb). Using a single length of Paracord, he creates a small eyelet at the beginning of the strap and then uses a cobra weave pattern to make each (approximately) 20 cm (8 inch) wristband. The remaining cord threads through the eyelet to form the wrist loop. Because of its high strength Paracord construction, the Cordy is extremely strong and safe to use for even the heaviest cameras.
