Hardgraft Slide Camera Wrist Strap Review
I love the Fujifilm X100 cameras, but I can’t decide if I need a full or wrist strap for them. I’ve been using it as a wrist-cam to snap those special moments at home.
I have a collection of wrist straps. I’ve tested the Gariz, the Gordy’s, and the new Hard Graft. Here are my impressions of each one.
The Gariz Wrist Strap: This is a very nice strap, but it has that industrial, mass-produced, made-in-China feel. It ages well but loses color over time because it uses overly processed leather.
The Gordy’s Wrist Straps: I still like mine and would take one over a Gariz. It’s made from really nice leather that gets better with age.
The Hard Graft Slide Wrist Strap. This is probably my favorite strap. It’s more expensive than the other two but a lot classier. It’s worth the extra price since it’s a nicer all-around strap. You could say it’s a strapping strap.
Using The Slider Camera Wrist Strap – X100T
I used this strap for a few weeks before reviewing it. This helped me break it in and learn its ins and outs.
What Camera Will It Work With?
The Slide Wrist Strap is larger than the other two, which makes it suitable for a medium-sized mirrorless camera. It matches well with any Fujifilm or Leica rangefinder camera. It also works well with the older A7, A7s, and A7r models, as they are much lighter than the newer ones that are now too heavy.
It might also be compatible with a Canon 7D Mark II or the Nikon counterparts, as well as any Sony APS-C camera.
Materials And Build Quality
The strap is made of excellent materials and has excellent build quality. It is a wonderful strap that makes my Fujifilm X100T and X100V look more fashionable.
The strap is long enough to hold my camera comfortably, with some extra space. It is the most comfortable strap I have.
The strap has a lasso-like loop that lets me quickly adjust it around my wrist. If the camera hangs, it can tighten around my wrist. This is not a problem for light cameras, but it might be uncomfortable for some with heavy cameras.
I usually do not let my cameras hang from my wrists unless I need to use my hands for something else, so it does not bother me.
But what is bad for some might be good for others. The fact that it secures around my wrist when the camera is hanging means it will not fall off. This has happened to me before with other straps. So you could say it is fast and safe! 🙂
Final Thoughts
This is a classy wrist strap for your small to medium camera. The Hardgraft Slide Camera Wrist Strap is a perfect Xmas gift for anyone with a Leica or Fujifilm camera or a nice treat for yourself. I love mine.
