ped Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 On my old camera I have no strap lugs so I use a little rig I made up using a strap and a washer (pics below). It screws into the tripod hole. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/91009c91.jpg[/IMG] It's quite secure but I thought of something which would work better. Anyone know where I can get hold of a bracket a bit like this: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/untitled-14.jpg[/IMG] I could then bend the arms a little to allow a strap to be attached to the 'slots'. I'm sure I've seen something like this somewhere but can't think where! Cheers ped Quote
icastle Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I can remember my dad making a bracket for one of his old cameras. Felt covered base that fixed to the base of the camera using the tripod screw, then two 'arms' that came up the front and then bent outwards at 90 degrees with a couple of small holes drilled through it to add a strap. All made from a single piece of mild steel... Quote
ped Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 I've found a few wrist straps that are built into a tripod screw bush which would be ok. Quote
ped Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Oh yeah, whoops! Bought one of these in the end but think I'll still want a long strap... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180747125456?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote
