‘The Nomad’ – Neck Strap for SLR and Rangefinder Cameras

Description

The design goal driving the development of the Nomad was simple – to make a camera strap that was comfortable and strong, whilst being as light and unobtrusive as possible, and of course, with our signature vintage style cues. It’s designed for those who just want to get up and go with no fuss. If you want a camera strap that is comfortable and will hold your camera securely but that won’t get in your way, the Nomad fits this criteria perfectly. It is small and extremely light, but doesn’t feel flimsy. It feels durable and fixes securely onto your camera, whilst retaining a stylish, vintage design.

Options:

Colour:  You can choose from Horween Dublin Leather in Natural (tan) or Black.

Camera Fitting: You can choose from a split ring with integrated leather protector built into the end of the strap to protect the camera body or separate circular leather protectors, either should help to protect your camera from any possible marks from the split ring.

Length: We recommend holding the camera where you would like to have it sit, and then use a tape measure to measure from the camera, over your neck (and shoulder, if you plan to wear it cross-body) and back to the camera, to determine the length – or measure an existing strap. We are always happy to advise on sizing or to make a custom length for you, so don’t hesitate to get in touch via shop@heathandhind.com or via our Instagram (@heathandhind).

Fittings: The Nomad can finished with traditional hand-finished copper rivets, sourced here in the UK, or it can be stitched, various stitching colours are available too.

This strap is completely hand-crafted by our experienced in-house leatherworker. We use 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.
