Review summary

Reviewers frequently highlight the products' practical and timeless design, which integrates seamlessly into their daily workflow and balances beautifully with their equipment, making the overall experience effortless.

Impeccable product and service!

I'm a big fan of the Type A strap and decided to add a brown one to my lot. Also, added the version 2 of the photo vest - which is a real winner. The bigger pockets are very roomy and accommodate everything I need to carry (MP + lens + film + sunglasses case, etc.) However, the pocket on the back is the most welcomed addition. Very pleased indeed! Top notch quality products and delivery service impeccable.

Strapped in Style

The quality of the products is simply amazing, the helpfulness of the expedient replies to queries is fantastic. I'd say I'd buy a strap from them again, but I don't think I'd ever need to, this type c will last a hell of a lot longer than me!

Dear Charlie, thank you so very much for your kind words... And the straps certainly do last! We build them to the same spec as the first batch from 1958... And we have several examples from the very first years of production that are still going strong!

The only straps you'll ever need!

I recently bought two type A straps, one black and one brown. In the short time I've owned them I truly believe these are the straps that will stay on my M cameras.

Beautifully constructed, simple, timeless but practical in design. You can tell these beauties will age just as gracefully as the cameras they are paired with. Love my straps, in fact I am already considering buying the type B for my Medium format gear! Hands down #1 straps!!!

Exceptional craftsmanship and usability

I purchased two camera straps for my Leica bodies and the overall experience has been outstanding. The build quality, usability and tactile feel are genuinely top tier. The materials have a noticeable premium finish and the straps integrate seamlessly into a daily workflow. An unexpected bonus is how much better the cameras look with them attached - a subtle aesthetic upgrade that still feels functional first. Strongly recommended for anyone who values quality gear that delivers both form and function.

So kind! I couldn't have put these thoughts together any better. We love The Strapateer and are so pleased that you do, too... Every Leica needs a Strapateer! And every Nikon, too.

So Good, I Bought Another

I originally purchased two Strapateer straps for my digital cameras, but I loved them so much I had to get one for my Nikon F3hp — a camera I’ve been shooting with for nearly forty years. Owning another just felt natural, like adding one more trusted tool to my creative kit. When something is crafted this well, you simply want more of it. Strapateer has earned not only my business, but my genuine admiration.

Quality is so good.

Honestly, you would find it hard to find a better camera strap system.
Matthew was quick to respond to some questions I had about the strapateer, and was very kind!
I will likely use my two camera strapateer for the rest of my life, and it's absolutely beautiful too.
Zero regrets. Thank you!!
