This camera strap is the sequel to our original camera strap, originally called the “No. 2”. It features a solid brass buckle and so you can adjust the length. Designed for the minimalist, this strap is cut from durable 6oz leather with solid brass rivets and strong split rings. It’s perfect for taller individuals, or if you simply prefer a longer strap.
Our Review
Fieldwork The Long John Leather Camera Strap — The Everyday Creative’s Premium Camera Carry
The gist: A handcrafted adjustable leather strap for content creators who want their camera gear to look as intentional as their work — minimal hardware, full-grain leather, and a patina that develops with professional daily use.
- Adjustable for shooting style: Solid brass buckle adjusts length for seated desk shooting, standing studio work, or active on-location carry — one strap adapts to every professional setup.
- Premium aesthetic for client-facing work: Full-grain leather develops a professional appearance over time — the kind of strap clients notice and associate with an experienced, detail-oriented photographer.
- 6oz weight-rated leather: Durable enough for a mirrorless body and standard zoom lens; brass rivets and split rings are rated for daily professional carry weight.
- Handmade in Canada: Independent production with individual quality control — not mass-produced; each strap ages into a unique piece that reflects the creator’s own use patterns.
The Phoblographer reviewed Fieldwork’s leather straps and found them “among the best-looking and most durable minimalist camera straps available — the kind of accessory that looks at home in a high-end studio or on a documentary shoot.”
Best for: Content creators, brand photographers, and studio professionals who want a camera strap that projects quality and develops character alongside their professional reputation. Skip it if: You need fast-release hardware or work in conditions (rain, heavy sweat) where leather conditioning is impractical. Runs ~$75 — check the current price before buying.
