Colfax Design Works Q.D. Camera Strap :: Field Tested

Colfax Design Works (CDW) has set a new standard with its latest Q.D. camera strap. Built with rugged 1-inch MIL-SPEC nylon tubular webbing and equipped with the proprietary anti-binding CDW Quick Disconnect swivels, this strap is the epitome of versatility and durability. The intuitive design features a push-top button on the swivel that allows for seamless detachment and reattachment of the camera—perfect for photographers in dynamic environments who need to move quickly and adapt on the fly. Like all products from Colfax Design Works, this sling is crafted in the USA with the finest materials, ensuring reliability and longevity in the field. While this strap is non-adjustable in the traditional sense, it provides a stable, secure way to carry your camera, which is ideal for those who value simplicity and efficiency in their gear.

This simplicity was a major key recently on a shoot in Southern Utah. Our crash camera that was mounted on the side of our picture car failed. With the sun going down and the prospect of missing the shot, my still camera was quickly reconfigured with a simple knot in the strap to add a safety carabiner in case the mount failed. This also proved to be an effective way to quickly shorten the strap when scrambling to a somewhat technical vantage point. This strap will be going on all my cameras.
