what straps do you use for your Alpas?

The official Alpa neck strap ends in OP-TECH plastic connectors, so I suspect any OP-TECH connector-compatible strap would work, and probably save you $700

I like the ones from DSPTCH, especially the braided ones. Pretty simple and nothing to scratch.

Its like with lamborghini, even the foot carpets cost as much as the carpets for a full house! ><The official Alpa neck strap ends in OP-TECH plastic connectors, so I suspect any OP-TECH connector-compatible strap would work, and probably save you $700

I have an 60mm EddyCam Strap (Elk Leather) which is perfect for my Alpa STC. Perfect to wear and looks great with the Alpa.

I've traditionally used UP-Strap straps for my cameras especially since they sell modular straps where you can disconnect the full strap from the ends attached to the camera. Very helpful in windy conditions plus it gives you wrist or short strap options too.
Camera Straps-Camera Slings-Leather Wrist Loops
DSPTCH look to have very similar capabilities.

This might be committing blasphemy because my strap says "FUJIFILM" on it, but stay with me.
Have you ever found a strap after you have used so many, expensive or not, that is just right for you?
I have lugged around lots of heavy gear in my career so I can appreciate a neck strap that works just right for me.
Also, maybe you have found a great strap, but it has metal o-rings and you fear it will scratch up the ALPA, well there is a solution.
I first purchased this strap from ThinkTank, it is their Camera Strap V2.0, but this one says "FUJIFILM" and I cannot remember where I got it from, but it was not being used when the SWA showed up, so it got a new home. I use these straps on multiple cameras, not just my SWA because of the comfort they provide me. They are also very affordable for the multiple systems I buy for. I use an ALPA leather wrist strap on my TC because it fits that camera well IMO.
I do have more fashionable straps that cost more money, but I replaced them after I found this strap was a great fit for my needs.
If you like this type of o-ring strap, you can still use it with the aid of Leather Protector Covers that do not cost a lot.
Kind regards,

I have a similar strap to that that came with my Bronica sqa. It’s super comfortable but I keep it on the Bronica.
I have looked at the op tech straps and actually the rubber bits at the top are very comfortable, I think I will be going for one of these
Thank you guys!
