About The Pioneer
The Pioneer fixed neck strap is a professional stitched neck strap with several customisable features. The name ‘Pioneer’ originates with the very people that invented the incredibly durable hand stitching technique used on this strap. Like our Nomad camera strap the Pioneer features a widened neckpiece to make it comfortable for those shooting all day with a larger camera in both everyday and professional settings. I personally love this camera strap for my professional work as it’s extremely comfortable but it raps around my lens and tuck away in my back very easily.
This strap is completely hand-crafted by the same experienced 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.
The Pioneer is securely held together by extremely durable woven nylon thread which is hand-stitched using a centuries-old technique that will stand the test of time far more than that of a machine-stitched product. The split rings (if you select that option) used on our camera straps are solid brass, instead of cheaper alternatives. This is to ensure that our camera straps last you as long as possible.
Sizing: The Pioneer comes in a wide range of lengths which are; 29.5″/75cm | 34″/85cm | 37″/95cm | 41″/105cm | 47″/120cm | 50″/130cm. The neck piece is 40mm wide.
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 five strap connection options which can be seen in the drop drop at the top of the listing, if your 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 Rolleifelx or old 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 well get in touch to help you organise delivery so we can make your strap with your clips.
