World wide praise

Rave reviews.   Rave reviews is what I continue to receive from happy, or should I say, ecstatic users of my Quick Draw Camera Strap.  Professional and serious enthusiastic photographers from around the globe are using my straps —  in all kinds of climates and conditions.  Jungle or desert, Hollywood movie set or deep in the medinas of Morocco, on safari in Africa or enduring the extreme wetness, heat, and cold of Western Australia.   I have literally lost count of how many countries.  Most photographers use one strap at a time, becasue it is so easy to switch cameras with the fast release all metal snap-hook.   Some photographers have told me that they use two Quick Draw Strap simultaneously, because the like to be ready, in all conditions, to capture the “money-shot” they are striving for.

A Photo is Worth How Many Words?

For those of you who have not seen my Quick Draw Camera Strap, here are a couple of photos.

Notice the solid metal hardware.   The heavy duty nylon webbing strap (I am told it will hold 4,000 pounds, but I have not tried it — just my Canon 5D Mark II and a big telephoto lens comes nowhere close to weighing that much – and I have never tried using my strap to pull my 4×4 Land Cruiser out the mud).

Notice the Quick Release buckle and slider?   In fact, sliding is the essential action in two places on my Quick Draw Strap:  one place is the snap-hook that fastens to your camera (look in the demo videos below to see why you really, really want this snap-hook to slide freely on the main strap), and the other place where sliding is essential is near the quick-release buckle.   This is where you are able to quickly and easily shorten or lengthen the Quick Draw Strap, depending upon how low or high you wish for your camera to ride (once again watch the demo videos below to see how this works).

 

 

Let’s See This AMAZING Quick Draw Strap in action

Here are some instructional videos which should help you to appreciate the simple beauty of Mzungu’s Quick Draw Camera Strap.   You may notice that in these demonstrations, I am using the Original Mzungu’s Quick Draw Camera strap.   The principles of proper use stay the same when I make innovations in strap design, because these improvements are technical in nature.   The basic principles of use never change.

The “Clandestine Hip Shot”

In addition to the so-called ‘normal’ use of the strap, as you have seen in the above video, the unique design of my strap enables the photographer to perform an incredibly important maneuver that cannot be done with almost all other camera straps.   This is a tested and proven photographic technique that has enabled the creation of incredible images in the most awkward of situations.    I have coined the name of “the Clandestine Hip Shot.”   I have used this technique in countries all over this planet.   In situations where traditional photography was not possible.   Mostly in crowded, congested urban locations, where a photographer definitely does not want to make a spectacle of himself making photographs.   Sometimes, the problem is just because of the density of humanity, sometimes because you want to minimize any chance of causing a disturbance, thus interrupting the ambiance or ‘feeling’ of the moment.  Sometimes, because the situation may be a bit hostile to an intrusive photographer.

In any case, every time I make photographs, employing the Clandestine Hip Shot, I love the design of the Quick Draw Strap even more …. and i continue to get rave reviews from happy photographers who use my strap.    Great success stories.  After you have viewed this demonstration video, below, I encourage you to enjoy a fuller explanation of this technique in this post:     Learn to use this technique

Why Are Bikinis So Expensive?

What a crazy question?   They are so expensive because the best designs are tiny, so light weight, so durable … and so reliable (not good when your bikini fails, eh?)   You are not buying them by the pound.  My Quick Draw Straps are designed to be tiny (never in your way when you are going for that “money-shot”),  My straps are so light weight, only about 2.6 ounces, which means you never tire from hauling your gear through those god-forsaken places you go to get the greatest photographs.   Camera gear is too heavy itself so you really, really do NOT want your straps to add to that.   And my straps are STRONG and durable — you might really be able to pull your car out of the mud with one, or maybe to pull your assistant out of that raging river.   And reliable goes beyond words.   You cannot afford to have a strap failure when you are in action — I have never, in all my years with my straps had a failure, and none of my many happy users of my straps have ever reported a failure to me.   Can’t say Never, and maybe you will be the one, but I have yet to hear of any at all.

So why don’t you BUY ABOUT A DOZEN Quick Draw Strap RIGHT NOW, some for you and some as Christmas gifts for other photographers you care about.

 

 

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

In all my years on safari and expeditions, I always seemed to find problems … failures … with the traditional style of camera straps, especially those supplied from camera manufacturers.  I suppose that is understandable, because I doubt very seriously if their product designers have spent a bulk of their lives trekking about in the amazingly remote locations of this planet, making photographs in the harshest of conditions, like many of us have.   And they have a huge focus on keeping their product costs low.  Their cheap camera straps might be fine for photographing a walk in the park, or grand-kids on the playground, but they are a far cry from what we explorers require in our endeavors.

What Makes a Good camera strap GREAT?

Such qualities as:  super light weight, durable, reliable as an anvil, allowing fast action in either landscape or portrait position, a strap that is “out of the way”, that has quick release capability, that is unobtrusive and almost unnoticeable — these essential design features that we need … if fact, we demand them.  There are many times, like when you are in a foreign country, in a social or cultural situation where you Definitely do NOT want your camera gear to shout “look at me!   I’m a photographer!  Look at all my cool gear!”   Standing out like a gaudy photographer or looking like a goofy tourist may disrupt the peace and tranquility, the ambiance of the situation, thus loosing a priceless photo for you.   At the very worst, in hostile situations, being seen as an intrusive foreign photographer could result in the damage or loss of your equipment by angry local folks, or you may suffer physical personal injury … or even put your life at risk.   Looking like Uncle Harry the Snap-shooter can be harmful to your health.

I began building my own camera straps years ago, and continue to adapt and modify my design as personal experience out in the bush dictates.  Because fellow photographers have persisted in wanting one of my straps for their own use, I began selling them a few year ago.   Even now I continue to modify my Quick Draw Strap design …… many happy photographers who have bought my strap send me tips and pointers and I appreciate that immensely, and some times I will incorporate those good ideas into my evolving design.
