Photojojo’s new camera straps are deliciously retro. Made from real reclaimed seatbelts, the 2" wide straps hook up to any camera in the exact same way as the straps that come in the box, threading a smaller strip through the camera’s eyelets.
These should be very comfy — I have a bag (yes, another one) made from old tire-rubber and a seat-belt strap. The webbing is wide enough to spread the load, smooth enough to slide over clothes without catching and soft enough to bend instead of digging edges into your shoulder and neck. In fact, if these straps were longer they’d make ideal camera shoulder straps, slung across the body R-Strap style instead of weighing down the neck.

Also, they look great, and $20 is a fair price for a decent third-party strap. If nothing else, this should remind you to upgrade the thin strip of fabric that comes even with pro cameras — dangerous, neck-cutting cheese-wires that do nothing more than cut off the blood flow to your brain while advertising the exact make and model of your kit to light-fingered passersby.
