Professional photographer Matthew Swaggart spent years travelling the world with his gear, he grew tired of the stock standard nylon straps that come with even the higher-end modern cameras and decided to do something about it.
He spent time in his Oklahoma workshop developing a strong, versatile camera strap made of leather, canvas and micro-fiber suede. He made it 2.3 inches wide to evenly distribute weight and he added two front pockets to stash your credit cards, ID, cash, and memory cards.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
