I've just started my own custom camera strap business! Some friends and I decided that there weren't any cool straps out there to replace your dull, black and boring straps that come standard with cameras. We made about 25 different options to begin with, and will be adding much more in the future. They're pretty awesome, and definitely add style to you and your camera!
It's called HighKey. Check it out:

Congrats! Wish you much success. If I could make a suggestion, maybe make one with custom words on the straps, something like
"Yes,I am a Pro" for onlookers that notice your equipment
"No, don't ask" for tourists who want you to take their picture
"Don't bother me, I'm working"
"Pornographer"
"Flash me and I'll shoot"
"Yes, I'm an artist"
I don't know something, corny like that :)
No need to set me up with royalties, just hook me up with a free one. Maybe the "pornographer" one :)

They look attractive, strong and appear to be durable, incorporate that engineering into - thinner...... maybe an option of one inch or 5/8" wide, would really interest me more.

Cool, and I would love to have more color on mine; but I use the R-Strap and don't see myself changing for colors. But I hope you lots of luck and hope to see people wearing them soon.

I know that smugmug recently gave out camera straps that had some elasticity to them, so that the strap itself was more comfortable. Are yours like this too?
And, as  LVicari mentioned, it would be really cool to completely customize them... I would like one that says VitaminB on it.

I have the same straps on both of my cameras. They have a gel cushion in the back that keeps them cool against the back of my neck; and gives them a little bounce so they don't cut into the neck if I'm walking a lot. Something to think about. :)
Good luck, I think your designs look awesome.

How about one for Nikon owners that says around the back
"My Other camera is a Canon" |
