‘The Maverick’ – Wide Neck Strap for Medium Format and Larger Cameras

Description

About The Maverick

We wanted to make a camera strap for all sorts of setups and after a lot of experiments and prototypes we’ve settled on a design that has proven itself on everything from professional photo shoots to simple mountain hikes. The Maverick camera strap was designed with heavier pro camera bodies in mind so whether you have an Fujifilm X-T5 with battery grip, a Pentax 67, Mamiya RB or Hasselblad, the Maverick will ensure you can comfortably use them. 

Each strap can be provided with separate circular leather protectors that fit over the circular camera strap stud on your camera body, or an integrated leather protector built into the end of the strap. We supply connectors that will fit Hasselblad 500 models, Mamiya RB/RZ67, Mamiya M645, 100S, Pentax 67 and Pentacon too. 

This strap is completely handmade to your order requirements by our in-house, experienced leatherworker. We use what many believe to be the world’s finest leather for this application, high-quality Horween leather from the USA. The reason? It’s so much softer then most English leathers, making it perfect for a stylish, yet comfortable and durable camera strap. It features beautiful ‘pull-up’ giving a lovely patina after even a little use. All of the leathers we use are also ‘hot stuffed’, which is a process that involves nourishing and conditioning the leather with unrefined oils and greases achieving a richer feel and a lower susceptibility to water damage. So no need to be overly precious about taking it out in the rain.

The Maverick is made with traditional hand-finished copper saddler’s rivets, sourced here in the UK. The fittings and split rings used on our camera straps are solid brass, instead of the commonly-used cheaper alternatives. This is to ensure that our camera straps last you as long as possible.

Sizing: The Maverick comes in a wide range of lengths which are; 29.5″/75cm | 34″/85cm | 37″/95cm | 41″/105cm | 47″/120cm | 50″/130cm. All Maverick Straps have a 40mm wide neck piece. See ‘The Aesthete‘ for a slightly narrower neck piece of 40mm.

Monogramming: We also now give you the option to add something personal to your strap with our monogramming option. If you select our this option for your strap we recommend you don’t have more than five characters as there is limited space available where monogramming is placed, at the back of the neck on the neckpiece.

Camera Connector Compatibility: We offer several strap connection options which can be seen in the drop down at the top of the listing, if you’re unsure what connector you need please contact me via shop@heathandhind.com or via our Instagram (@heathandhind) before purchasing. 

If you have a camera with a less common strap connection method like a Rolleiflex or Bronica but you have a pair or connector compatible with your camera you can select the ‘Custom’ Option in the drop down and when we receive your order we’ll get in touch to help you organise delivery so we can make your strap with your own clips.
