DOROM Vintage Handmade Cotton Leather Rope Camera Neck Strap for Micro Single and DSLR Camera Long Silver

Cotton neck strap where have you been all my life? As a career pro commercial photographer I rarely add anything like cases, neck straps, etc. to my cameras. They invariably get in the way of my ability to move and react quickly. However my personal travel/fun cameras have always been quite the opposite. For those scenarios I don’t always want to be carrying my camera in my hand, and I certainly don’t want to risk leaving it somewhere or worse, having someone grab it out of my hand and run off with it. Neck straps make me feel like a tourist and wrist straps mean I still have to dedicate one hand to always carrying the camera. And I have no need to show off fancy leather straps or ones with bold logos on them that scream rob me. Cutting to the chase, most camera straps the way they are designed are heavy, cumbersome and uncomfortable both to wear and to use and they rarely work well if I try to wrap it around my wrist to act as a handgrip as I often do. This cotton rope strap is near perfection. It is feather lightweight and very supple and can easily be slung over my shoulder without slipping off or around my neck and it wraps easily around my wrist to use it as a secure wrist strap. The extra thickness of it makes it feel comfortable for long day’s sightseeing or at the theme park. And while there is no pretension that it’s anything fancy it does feel well made and secure enough that my camera won’t go crashing to the floor. Note that the length on these isn’t adjustable. It is available in either 29” or 39”. If you usually wear your camera around your neck or across your chest go for the longer version. If like to wrap it around your wrist while shooting then the shorter length may be the way to go. I ordered the shorter version for that reason but they sent the long one by mistake and I didn’t want to go through the bother to send it back. One of the things I like the most is other than the small metal attachment ring there are no buckles, rivets or anything else to scratch my camera, and this is the most flexible strap I’ve ever used. They include two protectors to keep the lug ring from ever touching the camera body. One suggestion though, is that I would have preferred black lug protectors with the black strap instead of tan leather. At under seven bucks this is one of the better camera accessory choices I’ve made recently.

This strap is so nice and just what I was looking for! It’s the perfect length and sits right above my hip for easy access. The quality is nice and love the little leather straps to protect your camera from the rings. Love love love. Would definitely buy again in another color!

Ordered this strap for use on a small Barnack Leica. The camera is small and very light and not comfortable to carry on a leather strap. This cotton strap is very light weight and flexible and carries the camera comfortably. The faux leather trim used appears to be of good quality. The only qualification is that it is available only in a single length and may not be the right length for everyone. I carry the camera either on the side or on the front and the length is good for my personal use. YMMV. Being made of a very soft and pliable cotton rope, it probably won't be as durable or sturdy as one made of a more substantial cotton rope like the Sailor Rope strap from Poland. It was however just perfect for the Barnack Leica.

This is a perfect camera neck strap. What sets this apart from most others is the fact that it is shorter. Most of the straps allow a camera to hang down to practically your navel, which, for me is very uncomfortable. This one is shorter and allows a camera to sit low on your chest, yet is still comfortable to swing over one arm. I love this strap.

I've seen similar straps go for as much as $40. This one does exactly what you want it to do. It offers you cheap customizability, made from thick durable material, that is also soft and wears well during your photography adventures. I highly recommend for anyone looking to add flair to your camera.

I ended up returning this strap. The material felt rough and not comfortable at all, and the overall quality just wasn’t there. It looks good in the photos, but in person it didn’t feel like something I’d trust on a camera. The idea is nice, but the execution missed the mark for me.

I am getting back into photography and had to have this strap when I saw the listing for it. Turned out to be good quality. I like it.

I bought this for my Nikon FM2 and I am totally loving this strap. It looks really good on my camera. It does not strain my neck when wearing it out doing street photography. It added a total vintage look to my film camera.
