Bronica ETRS - Camera Strap Recommendations

[thewiccaman]

I've just acquired a Bronica ETRS and welcome any recommendations for a strap that won't cost an arm and a leg!

I'm looking for a traditional neck strap, something that can take the weight of the camera. I'm not sure if the lugs are the same on all ETRS models but mine is pictured here.

Alternatively, are the sling type straps that connect to the tripod mount strong enough/suitable?

TIA for any suggestions/recommendations.

I use a bright woven strap from China attached to the Bronica with split rings. It works very well.

I've got a couple of the optech neoprene ones that have been pretty much bombproof, and as comfortable as you'll get with something like the Bronny and my EOS-1v or EOS-3 hung around my neck. Best bit is you can buy 1 "neck bit" and as many of the camera end bits as you need - so you can keep the "tails" on all the cameras and just snap the padded neck part onto the one you're going out with that day...

lots of options for attachments - but for the Bronny, this is a good starting point - https://www.wexphotovideo.com/optech-super-classic-pro-loop-strap-black-1007803/

the "pro-loop" bit at the end may thread through the eyelet - I can't remember, as my camera had already had those triangular wire split rings fitted by a previous owner...

I use a Joby sling strap on my Bronica SQA and it works fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do like the look of the Joby but a bit pricey. Considering I'll be using the WLF most of the time, I think the Optech looks like it will fit the bill.
