A good leather strap does not ask for much. Wear it, keep it conditioned, let it dry, and hang it up. Do that and it will keep working for you long after the cameras on it have been replaced. We build our straps by hand in Oklahoma to last a lifetime. Here is how to care for yours.

A wedding gives you one chance at most of its moments. The ring goes on once. The vows happen once. If you are changing lenses when it happens, you miss it. That is why so many wedding photographers work with two camera bodies. Here is how to set up two cameras, carry them through a ten or twelve hour day, and keep your back in one piece.

Most HoldFast camera straps, from the MoneyMaker to the Camera Leash, come in two families of leather: Bridle and Water Buffalo. Both are real full grain leather, both are cut and put together by hand in our Oklahoma shop, and both carry our lifetime guarantee. They just feel, look and age differently. Here is how to choose.

A camera harness that fits right disappears on a long shoot. One that fits wrong lets your cameras swing, slides around on your shoulders, and pulls on your lower back by the end of the day. Here is how we size the MoneyMaker in our Oklahoma shop, and how to set the fit once it arrives.
