Make no mistake my recently acquired Olympus OM-D E-M1 is a truly wonderful camera and an absolute technological marvel however the supplied camera strap is, well to say the least, extremely average. I never did like straps that have the manufacturers logo and camera type emblazoned on it in big letters, preferring instead something more subdued and discreet. The E-M5 seemed to adopt this approach but not so its big brother. I believe a cameras brand should speak through the images it enables the photographer to create rather than having its name plastered garishly over it. The other, and more important, aspect of a camera strap should of course be that it is comfortable. Having spent the day with the E-M1 around my neck on an unseasonably warm November day (21C for goodness sake) in London I have to say the one supplied with the camera is not all that comfortable and made me head to Mr Google to look for an alternative.
Happily I quickly discovered Rigu Colourful Camera Accessories and this strap made by Cam-in. The strap is made of smooth, soft leather, is stitched together really well and comes with the usual loop fixing mechanism as well as a metal keyring type fastening and leather pad to protect the camera from being scratched. It also looks great! Here’s a picture of the strap on my E-M5 taken with the E-M1 and 45mm f/1.8 lens.
I should also add that the service provided by Andy at Rigu is second to none. The strap arrived in one working day as stated and Andy sends you a personal email letting you know its progress. He even packs a MAOAM bar to chew on whilst you attach your strap – how’s that for service!

Very nice Peter, I go one steps further on the comfort rating (and one step back on the style rating) with the stretchy neoprene Optech Binocular strap! Used them with all my gear for 3 years now, never failed me yet and they don’t take up much room in the bag either..;)
I like the Artisan & Artist E25R strap. A bit expensive but if you watch one of the videos of it in use on youtube you will see it is worth it.
I like the look of the straps but certainly not the price.
I like the Op Tech Pro straps – they are not very expensive, comfortable and can be shortened quickly if you don’t need the full strap. Granted they are not the nicest looking strap but they are functional.
Hi Chris, Thanks for the comment and follow. I agree the price of the Op Tech is pretty competitive but for me the look and feel of the Cam-in trumps the Op Tech.
