Members biglittle Posted January 10, 2011 Members Report Posted January 10, 2011 My Granddaughter got a new digital SLR for Christmas and has already broke the strap. Of course, she came to Pepaw to make her a new one. I have no clue on camera straps. Any one have a pattern they would be willing to share? Quote
bison Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 A guitar strap pattern works well. Just adapt it for the size strap you're making. Quote
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 10, 2011 Members Report Posted January 10, 2011 It is just a camera strap. Figure out what length would be best for her, and watch how it fits around the neck. Too stiff, or rough edges will get really annoying after just a short time carrying the camera. Depending on the camera weight, a narrower strap will usually be better than a wide one, as it will have less of a tendency to rub her the wrong way. A cloth neck pad could also be incorporated. Take a trip to a camera store, and see what is available commercially for ideas. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members biglittle Posted January 10, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 10, 2011 Both of those are good ideas. I had thought of the guitar strap, but I have never done one of those either. LOL I see what you mean about the width being annoying, I have written her to see which she prefers and will adjust accordingly. Thanx a heap. Quote
