Gordy Strap... which to get?!

I've got a bunch of his wrist straps and a longer shoulder strap. They're all pretty good but the shoulder strap is probably a little longer than I need - the camera hangs just below my hip. I'd suggest using some string or cord to mock up the strap to suit your needs and measuring the resultant length - then see which Gordys will suit best.

 

Looks like 5cm from loop to rubber ring. The larger wrist loop is about 15cm in length. I find the leather quite stiff but it softens with wear.

What I also ended up doing is buying 30m of black paracord - now I just make my own simple wrist straps. Not as cool as Gordys but a lot cheaper.

 

I bought the regular length ones. Should have gotten the longer one. I didn't think my hands were that big. My fingers aren't long, but I guess my hands are wide. I should have done the measuring thing. My straps are still usable, but the longer ones would be easier for me.

 

Yep. I just posted a how-to here: CLICKY

 

Grass is always greener.... i borrowed a friend's regular, and I have average sized hands. It felt a bit snug or not just slip on to get the strap on.

I purchased the long with the wrist pad (yes I know not necessary for the u43 but gives me more flexibility for later). I found the long is too long and yes its easy to slip on, but that also means easy to slip off. So I'll be cinching it up frequently with the rubber grommet.

 

Well, maybe I'm better off with the one I have then

 

I have the sling strap and x long wrist strap. Very happy with my purchase. Great quality. I have large hands, the x long might be a little big but if I'm out in the cold I will be able t5o use this strap with gloves and with the rubber grommet cinch it up if needed when not using gloves.
