Hi all

Does anyone know of a detachable camera strap (similar to Domke) that is available in Aus.

I find the supplied strap tiresome when it has to be removed for certain types of photos, i.e. macro

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Chris

Chris,

The one from Nikonians is good. It is very comfortable and secure and the neck part can easily be removed.

Birddog,

Can we get these made with the D70 users logo on them???

I would like something like this but would prefer to advertise our great forums ratehr than theirs

W00DY

I would buy one of those!!!

I've been talking with Optech USA to supply us with D70User.com logo on it same as Nikonian.org.
Problem I have is:
I have to make a commitment of quantity order so we can get a good price and have been discussed with Gary previously, and don't know what number of user willing to purchase and change from the original Nikon strap to Optech strap? but I'm very keen on it and use them very often, they're excellent strap and last long, I have one and last more than 15 years, very relaxing and comfortable with my F5 and now D2h + heavy lens.

Your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated!
If thing turns good then I'll start to do it asap.

I will put my hand up immediately....

As long as they are not really expensive I would buy one.

Thanks guys & gals for the replies.

I will go with you birddog - why not post to all members - I am sure that given the option of removing the strap easily will appeal to many

Cheers

Chris

I purchased the Nikonians Pro Strap from site mentioned in previous post. Charged it to may credit card and arrived in Adelaide from Germany in 10 calendar days. Strap plus postage about AU$46.00. Well worth it. Area around the neck is made from neoprene, not only soft on the neck but also stretches plus detachable strap excellent for storage of camera in camera bag/backpack. You could wear it all day without any problem. I consider it one on my best purchases 10/10.

Cheers,

Yes, I did post previously with the hands strap made by Optech but did not get any interest replied.

The strap on Nikonians is 20.69 Euro which is approximately $35A plus postage.

Cheers

If I do bulk buy and commit a quantity with our logo, I guess and think I can bring them into Australia less than $40.00 including GST

These Optech straps are brilliant - really comfortable. I used to have one on my F90 before I sold the camera years ago. Have recently been noticing how much I liked it in comparison with the D70 strap

I've just started thinking about getting another one, so I'd be interested in one.

I would go for it birddog - especially with our very own logo - at $50 it would be worth it for both comfort and usability

Cheers

Chris

Pro & Pro Loop strap they sell to me at US$22.00 each FOB no logo, if I have a commitment of quantity, I can have for around US$20.00 = AU$28.00 with our logo FOB. That's a huge saving!!!!

I'm working hard on these and tried to make our community become officially as Nikonian.org etc... Good forum and as many good guys, no bad and no ugly. We have to head that way.

Al,

Just remember that with the logo we need to pay for getting the artwork done, and to order in a somewhat relatively significant number.

While Birddog is kind enough to put his hand up and finance the costs for this up front, we need to be mindful of the underlying commitment that he's making, and fully support this effort thus eliminating any risks on his part.

While I don't expect any issues to arise, we do need solid numbers to go ahead. By all means put your hands up if you want one, but this has to be for serious players only.

Having said that, the cost of the product is actually quite small, so let's get a serious show of hands for this.

One final thing: Optech also have a CF card holder that we could also get "branded". Do others have any interest in this, or am I the only one?

I'm willing to pay up front for the strap.. no issues there..

not overly interested in the cf pouch at this stage.

cheers

Birddog,

Please put me down for one (1) should you go ahead.

Although I already have the Nikonian.org one, a change is as good as a holiday. This way when we are out and about shooting we can recognise fellow members.


Cheers,

Gary and Birdy,

Sign me up for a strap and CF holder.

Cheers

I am willing to pay up front as well

Cheers

Chris

I am a goer for the strap - and happy to pay up front.

The strap looks excellent, and the projected price is most acceptable.

depending on the delivery time I am happy to pay up front!

Birddog 114,

As previously mentioned, count me in for pro strap with 'D70User.com' motif.

Also prepared to pay up front.


Goodbye for now,

If the cost does not exceed $40 then I will order and pay up front.

I'll get one too please.
And pay up front if required.

Gary, can you specify what media bag/ or CF holder that you mentioned, point me to that link.
Cheers

Hi Birddog

I am easy on either the Pro or Pro Loop so whatever comes out on top is fine by me.

As to colour - I personally think black with either a yellow (indicating Nikon) or white logo

Cheers and thanks for your amazing help on all matters

Cheers

Chris

i think we should get the pro strap in black with a yellow d70 users logo...

Birddog,

Black with yellow or white is fine by me.

I'm for the pro strap.. but perhaps a poll?

Grip strap suits me Birddog. I am a black sort of guy

oh yeah... go black... black is the new black!

(except for those Cannon guys who go silver.... geeeez!)

Hiya Birdie - would like either the Pro, or Pro-Loop strap please

Not interested in the grip, although the media holders Gary is talking about look interesting


Any colour - Red would go with my Camera Bag, but Black with the Yellow logo looks like it's a goer.

Birddog114,

1 x Pro Strap Loop for me in black with yellow D70Users.com logo if possible.



Cheers,

Birddog114

1 x Pro Loop Strap in black

and

1 x Grip Strap

Louie

I vote pro loop in black/yellow.

So please put me down for:

1 x pro loop (or pro strap if that is the popular vote)
1 x grip strap.

Cheers
Dean

Birdy

Please put me down for

1 x pro loop (or pro strap if that is the popular vote)

Willing to pay in advance anytime

Thanks for arranging this for us

Graham

Hi Birddog,

put me down for 2 pro loop straps in black

Ta,
Craig.

Thanks
Vic

Hi All,
I counted in total from all you replied posts

8 x Pro Loop Trap + 02 x Pro Strap
04 x Hand grip
01 x Media (Glen)

OK so we have to go for Pro Loop Trap in black and our logo will be in yellow.,
I got their replied email just few minutes ago: they tried to push the artwork done by Friday, will have 50 Pro Loop Strap in production immediately and hopefully we will have them by end of Nov.

Look at a group of photogs with the D70Users.com polo and camera trap.
What can people say? huh?

Birddog, I don't particularly need one, but I'll support the group and get one off you.
Still 40 more to be moved so come on guys let's get behind Birdy.

Hi Birddog - I ordered one but make it two - who knows I might get a second body

Cheers

Chris

Hey Birddog you should mark em up by a few dollars to help subsidise the cost of the challenge prizes!

Good ideas! but it's OK and won't help much, will post the CF card for you tomorrow by AP.

Hi Birddog,

Can you count me in for a Pro loop strap. Also can you save for me a D70Users.com polo shirt Navy size XL.


Thanks

Peter

I'll take one of whichever strap we're ordering, can pre-pay if required.

I'll have one Pro Strap please.
Black with yellow if available. Any color if not..
Thanks.

Hi Birdy. I'd like a pro strap or a pro loop. Not fussed what colour or which it is. Thanks!
