Wrist Strap for Sony Camera
A wrist strap for your Sony camera will keep your camera safe and secure when you're out and about.
They're great for on the go photographers who always need their cameras handy. So if you're into action sports or capturing off the cuff moments that you'd miss if you had to keep your camera in its case, a wrist strap is a great investment.
Advantages of camera wrist straps
There are a variety of straps you can find for cameras . Traditionally photographers tend to carry their cameras with neck straps and while this method means you have your hands free, wrist straps can be more flexible.
Your camera is more easily accessible with a wrist strap, which may also make your Sony camera more secure and harder for thieves to steal.
They're particularly useful if you're using a smaller, more portable model. However if you have a larger camera with a longer zoom, the older style neck strap may be more suitable.
Different types of Sony camera wrist strap
Sony camera wrist straps come in a variety of materials and styles. You can find wrist straps made from leather, vegetarian leather, nylon, paracord and woven canvas. Many are black, but paracord versions are often multi-coloured. You can also find retro-looking brown leather wrist straps.
Designs range from thinner, lanyard style straps to chunkier models that are non-slip and fully enclose your wrist. These will offer maximum security for your camera. You can also find handmade straps.
Features to look out for include variable length straps, which can be adjusted to fit your wrist. These may be fastened with buckles or plastic clips.
Keeping your camera secure
Wrist straps attach to your camera in a variety of ways. Some screw into a fixing on your camera, others attach with a nylon thread and some attach to a metal ring on the side of your camera.
The larger and heavier your camera, the sturdier your wrist strap should be. Always check your strap for wear and tear. This will help ensure that fixings or straps aren't becoming loose and fraying, as any breakage may damage your Sony camera .
