Wear it on your body or carry it in your hand, so a camera wristband is an important tool to make people feel safe. Many friends say that they have a camera wristband but don’t know how to install it, so today I will teach you how to install a camera wristband and make one yourself. Beautiful camera wristbands to show your personality.

How to install a camera wrist strap

When choosing a shoulder strap, generally speaking, one principle must be ensured: comfort and safety. Especially for novices who have just bought a camera, they must want to dress them up beautifully or handsomely. We cannot give up comfort because of the good-looking shoulder straps, nor can we give up safety because of the personality of the shoulder straps. Of course, if a girl uses a mirrorless camera, she can choose a good-looking and strong shoulder strap. But if you are a DSLR user, comfort and safety should still come first.

1. Before putting on the shoulder strap, lay the shoulder strap flat and open it

2. Pass the shoulder strap through the camera strap hole from bottom to top

3 , thread it in and out from the buckle, and adjust the length.

4. Finally adjust the buckle and fix it with the adjustment buckle.

5. Generally speaking, this method of wearing shoulder straps is the simplest one. There must be other methods, but this method of wearing shoulder straps inside looks comfortable and fast. Novices can master it easily. Then I recommend two shoulder straps to novices, one is fashionable and the other is good in performance, so you can choose accordingly.

Make your own camera wristband

1. First, choose a fabric with a pattern you like.

2. Measure the size of the existing camera wristband. The result of my measurement here is that the wristband is about 20.5 cm long and 1.5 cm wide.

3. Cut the selected fabric to a suitable size. Note that it must be larger than the existing wristband size so that the following sewing can be carried out. The dimensions I have left here are 24cm long and 4cm wide.

4. Fold the long end of the back of the fabric, about 1.5 cm, then use an electric iron to flatten it, and then place it under the sewing machine for sewing. According to this method, fold and sew both long ends of the fabric, so that the wristband will be neater.

5. Then fold the left and right sides of the fabric in half, and then use a sewing machine to sew the folded fabric. Make sure that the remaining width is slightly larger than the width of the existing black wristband, so that when it is worn, It is easier to wear when wearing a wrist strap, but it should not be too wide, otherwise it will be loose and unsightly.

6. Use an electric iron to iron the fabric tied on the sides so that it will be neater when turned over.

7. Use a tool to turn the finished wristband cover over. You must be patient with this step, as it is not easy to do.

8. The rubber parts on both sides of the original camera strap are relatively large, so tie them with rubber bands and slowly insert them into the wrist strap sleeve. This step also requires patience to complete. Tip: You can hang a small black hairpin on one end of the wristband, and then when wearing it, hold the small hairpin forward. This can be more convenient.

Finally, the editor would like to tell you about the installation precautions. A common problem for beginners is that the buckle that fixes the camera wrist strap is not placed on the shoulder strap. If this happens, then use the camera. It is very dangerous when the camera wrist strap is not used to protect it. If the camera is too heavy, it will fall off directly, and the camera will be damaged when hanging on the ground, so you must pay attention to this. At this point, everyone has some idea about how to install a camera wristband and how to make your own camera wristband. I hope it will be helpful to you.
