Built to Last, Designed for Style: The Bradley Mountain Long Camera Strap

Bradley Mountain has long been a favourite around these parts, thanks to their unwavering commitment to crafting durable, rugged, and genuinely handsome goods right there in the USA. They specialise in creating pieces that feel like they have a story to tell and are built to accompany you on your own adventures for years to come. It’s no surprise, then, that their approach to camera accessories follows this same ethos, offering photographers a piece of gear that’s as robust as it is refined. Introducing their take on an essential piece of kit: the Bradley Mountain Long Camera Strap.

Forget flimsy nylon or overly complicated systems. Bradley Mountain presents a refreshing approach here, focusing on beautiful hand-stitched craftsmanship and seriously sturdy materials. The core of the Long Camera Strap is the use of 9 oz USA harness leather. This is a material chosen for its inherent quality and durability – it’s the kind of leather that feels substantial in your hands and will develop a rich patina over time, telling the story of your photographic journeys. The fact that it’s hand-stitched is a key detail, highlighting the manual skill that goes into each strap and ensuring a level of construction that simply lasts longer than machine-stitched alternatives.

Designed to elevate your camera game, whether you’re wielding a classic film camera or the latest digital mirrorless, this strap provides a sleek, non-intrusive support system for your gear. Its minimal design means it won’t get in your way while you’re shooting, offering just what you need without any unnecessary bulk.

The fixed-length design, measuring a total of 39 inches, is a purposeful choice, providing a consistent and comfortable hang for most users. Attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of small but significant features, such as a solid brass key ring – adding a touch of classic hardware and potential utility – and leather bumpers, thoughtfully included to protect your camera body from direct contact with the strap’s connection rings.

Entirely Made in USA, this strap embodies Bradley Mountain’s commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality control. For $85, you’re not just buying a strap; you’re investing in a piece of gear that’s built the old-school way, designed for durability, and crafted from premium US leather. It’s a non-intrusive, sturdy, and stylish companion for your camera, ready to provide reliable support through countless shoots and adventures.

If you appreciate quality materials, timeless design, and gear built to stand the test of time, the Bradley Mountain Long Camera Strap is an essential upgrade that perfectly complements the tool you use to capture the world.
