Camera Straps Just Grew Up (Again!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever wrestled with a camera strap that digs into your shoulder, twists at the worst moment, or just feels like it was designed for someone else\u2019s body, 3 Legged Thing\u2019s new Axis Strap System promises a rethink.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a home-grown British solution built for real photographers, available now on Kickstarter! Take a look at the Kickstarter Here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had the Axis Sling<\/strong> and the Axis 34<\/strong> for a little over a week now, and they\u2019ve already been put through their paces. I shot two halves of a soccer match and then wrangled a team portrait for 32 people (an annual tradition that\u2019s always a lot of fun!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the game, I ran the Axis Sling with my Sony a7Rmk3 and Tamron 150-500mm, The sling’s QD attached to a QD plate on my lens’ foot. When it came time to line everyone up for the big team photo, I switched out to the Axis 34. Worn cross-body with the camera off to one side, Easily adjusting the strap up tighter to my body with the handy ‘easy-pull lever’ made moving around much easier. The QD buckle attachment feels so solid, I was confident it wasn’t going anywhere from that first click. Kicking goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What really stands out for me is being able to swap where the strap connects. With the rock-solid QD buckle, I can clip straight into my L-bracket or a QD Arca Swiss compatible quick release plate \u2014 a true gamechanger. It\u2019s a word that gets thrown around a lot, but this time I feel like it genuinely applies.<\/p>\n\n\n

Using the Arnie dedicated QD L-bracket on my camera and a QD arca swiss plate on the foot of my lens, I could use either connection points and have my camera hang at my side pretty much however I wanted, making it very easy to grab my camera and bring it up for a photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Axis 34 has gained a regular slot in my camera bag – as someone who has used pretty much every style of camera strap available, I think the new Axis range from 3 Legged Thing is about as close to perfect, for me, as it gets.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here’s what they say<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

British camera-support manufacturer 3 Legged Thing<\/strong> is bringing its trademark innovation and engineering expertise to the world of carry solutions with the launch of the Axis Strap System<\/strong>, debuting today on Kickstarter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

At the heart of Axis are two game-changing components: the beautifully unique 4-Axis QD Buckle<\/strong> and 3LT\u2019s own take on an essential piece of hardware \u2014 the QD Swivel<\/strong>. Originally developed for astronautics, military and law-enforcement gear \u2014 even trusted by NASA for tethering cargo \u2014 this ultra-secure quick-detach system has been re-engineered by 3 Legged Thing to keep cameras safe, accessible and ready for action.<\/p>\n\n\n

We designed the world\u2019s first four-axis QD buckle \u2014 which means you can actually adjust how your strap fits and moves. All body shapes are different, so why should photographers settle for anything less than a tailored fit? Switch which socket you plug into to seamlessly contour the strap around your natural curves. Got a six-pack? Good for you. Working on a keg? Time to celebrate. Muffin top? We\u2019ll make it fit. Moobs? Now you can style it out. ?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Made in Great Britain \u2013 Creating Local Jobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Axis straps are proudly designed, engineered and manufactured in Great Britain, meeting one of the world\u2019s most respected engineering standards. To support this launch, 3 Legged Thing has invested in a new UK-based sewing facility, creating local jobs and ensuring the entire range is built to the highest standards of craftsmanship. For photographers, that means world-class design, built in the shires of middle England, with a distinctly British stamp of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
