If there ever was a golden era of camera straps, I’d say this era is now. The amount of innovation and thought invested in this simple device is certainly reaching new peaks. Since straps are so different in the sets of features they provide, we wanted to subject them all to a uniform test. And what better test than to hook them all up to a farm tractor and see which strap lasts longer.

We tested a range of 6 straps (in no particular order):

• Peak Design’s Leash
• Joby’s Ultrafit Sling Strap
• High Key’s What The Duck Strap
• Black Rapid’s RS5
• Carry Speed’s CS Pro
• CustomSLR’s Air Strap

We asked the incredible team of Simon Pollock And Benjamin Von Wong to conduct this highly scientific test while the elite video team of Kaveret documented the process.
