My friend Chris Nitz has sort of stumbled into developing a new business: Nitz Strap. Unhappy with his camera strap options, and somewhat obsessive about strength, quality, and avoiding load failure, he started making his own out of quality hardware and weaved paracord. He is slowly rolling out his product line, and so far has taken only limited orders from his friends, but he’s moving forward and should soon be ready to accept orders from the public at large. You can sign up to be informed when he is ready to accept orders at his new brand website, http://nitzstrap.com/

Above is a wrist strap I ordered and promptly put on my Minolta SRT-202 35mm film camera. Chris is also going to offer a neck strap option, and a wide selection of color combinations. The strap is strong, comfortable, and I have no doubt it will be around as long as I might need it. If you have any interest at all, please go visit his Nitz Strap website, check it out, and maybe sign up for the email notification.
