G'day all
It seems to me that every day I'm off walking around with one of the cameras slung over my shoulder, that I am constantly pulling the damn thing back onto my shoulder - as it tries to slide off and go its own way
Over the years, I have tried a number of options to stop the "slip slidin' away" with varying degrees of success, but now I seem to have found one that works... using domestic non-slip material glued to the inner face of the camera strap
Stuff needed
a) a strip of non-slip material, about 2cm wide x (from 30cm up to) the length of your camera strap
b) a soft drink bottle (to wrap the strap around)
c) a tube of contact adhesive
Here goes...
1- the inner face of the basic camera strap - woven webbing material
2- wrap the non-slip material around a soft-drink bottle. (Stickytape ends onto bottle to stop it unwinding)
3- use some contact-adhesive
4- wrap the camera strap around the now-glued non-slip material** ps: leave for 24hours to dry completely
5- the completed camera strap with the non-slip material in place
** by wrapping the strap around a bottle, it helps stop the crinkling one gets after gluing two things lying flat, when they are later used with a bend in them
Hope this helps other Apers
