Without your idea of the wrap around the tube I really struggled. Your demo helped greatly. Fantastic video instructions. Thanks for the help.

[@5150pistolpete]

Thank you! After me trying to understand about half a dozen other videos. Thank you for helping me understand with this very straightforward demonstration. 🙏

The Best tutorial for paracord cam strap, build mine some minutes ago and IT worked at the first try. THX

[@chrisbliss7130]

Thanks a lot! I just made two for my cameras. May I add one important information: The diameter of the round object (the pringles can) determines the strap length when the strap is fastened around the wrist. The circumference of the object is the circumference of your wirst plus the preferred length of the strap to the camera.

We just finished up a camera strap using this tutorial. I have to say it was well filmed, easy to follow and a great project. Keep up the good work!

[@wolfgartom]

I’ve used this video as a guide a few times now and it is such a solid design works especially good with peak design camera links. Thanks for the video!

[@alejandroalvarez1544]

Thank you. Made mine last night. Actually two. Burned the first one trying to melt the ends. The second one I added a foot to the length and it fits a little better allowing better movement to access buttons with my thumb.

[@katebenton1461]

Wow! The project was super easy and quick, and you explained it thoroughly! Great Video! Love the Camera Strap!

[@Paracordguild]

Thank you for your kind comment! Enjoy your camera strap! Mark

Thanks! Very helpful.... if you have large wrist or want a longer strap use a much larger spacer than a Pringles can.

[@desertdefender]

Thanks for the video. I am knot-challenged and your use of the mandrel was the trick for me.

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

Exactly what I was looking for! Looks fantastic! You can attach your camera, small purse, kid or wife to it! Confirmed my subscription.

[@matteovrizzi]

Success! Just made a red one for my Sony a6000! Thanks!

[@sarahdownin7464]

I LOVE this so much. I was looking for a keychain pattern but wasn't finding anything quite like I wanted and then I found this and it's perfect! Thank you!

Hi Mark, This is a good project, very useful. I made a couple of these lanyards this afternoon, one with three metres of paracord & the other using five metres. I think somewhere around four would do for my version. However, I am staying with five metres for an idea that I have to finish the project without any obvious melted ends. I am hoping to make my final version tomorrow. I would like to explain why I am using such longer pieces of paracord. I have spent a lot of time working in industrial situations &, quite frankly, I do not like the way that this lanyard locks onto the wrist. In the variation I am experimenting with I have extended the sennit (cobra knot) section so that it goes right around the wrist plus a little extra to act as a stop. That way the lanyard can still be cinched up but stops short of locking on the user's wrist. This still keeps the camera quite secure but leaves a little extra space for the wearer to pull their hand free in a bad situation. Nobody wants to lose their camera. But when the unexpected happens it is far better to lose your camera than to lose your hand or, worse still, your life... ciao, frank.

[@PhilIpp88]

FoxtrotMikefm Great idea! Could you share a photo and more details?

[@shrvn_k]

I agree with this. Having some clearance between the wrist and the strap makes it much more comfortable and less likely to cause injury if something bad happens. It took me about 3 meters (10ft) of cord to make a strap that's perfectly sized for my wrist and camera.

[@donbrown1695]

Simple to make but looks and works great, good job

[@stephanschmitty]

Really really great !!!! Great explanation from start to finish and all at a pleasant pace! Thank you 🙏

[@levin_schwitter]

[@dreams5223]

[@JacobCarlson]

This was a perfect tutorial. Thank you very much!

[@kreiger]

Thank you! Finally ditched the branded strap that came with my camera and made me own. :)

[@Paracordguild]

Great to hear that! This one is a looker for sure, as well as strong. Mark

[@dlmartin81]

Fantastic project. Mine was completed in 15-20 minutes. I attached it to one of the Peak Design's Anchor Links.

[@hanfpv3093]

Just finished😁 i love it! Thank you❤!

[@dimiutube]

Thanks for the good explanation. I could make my own camera strap after some tries that will hopefully keep my camera safe :-)

[@georgeknox]

Weekend goals, 100%! Thank you Mark

[@just_eirik]

This is really cool! I had figure out how to do it without pringles thought, because it made the look too short and I could not get my hand through. But I have one issue, the two cords that come off metal ring are not the same length somehow. Not sure what I did wrong, but I’m going to try making another one to see if I can figure it out. EDIT: Figured out that I undo the knot around the ring (I used a key ring) and make the tow ends the same length that way.

[@lifeafterwork_62]

I love this

[@robertoc.9099]

Very good!!!!

[@enriqueroman37]

Excellent ! very cool

[@SterlingHyde]

trying to figure out where you bought the lobster clasp. the stores only have crappy silver ones.

[@willybee3056]

Good job,, as always,,, 😃

[@user-ss6zt2mo1l]

I used a 4” initial cup size. 3.5 inches would work ok. A pringles can is too small. 3 inches is not enough room to have your hand through the loop and still shoot with your camera while wearing it.

[@kasmalk4325]

How long is Paracord's length? 3 meters is enough

[@officialcisko]

Making one as soon as the store opens

[@arnulfoacevedosoto7956]

[@ExpatSensei]

[@Asmoc23]

Hi! Great video! One questios please : What thickness does the paracord rope have ? I find on the internet different sizes 2mm 4mm 5mm 7mm 9mm. Thank you!

[@Paracordguild]

Hey there! Paracord 550 has a thickness of about 3mm in my experience. It does vary, but i'd say 3mm in general. Mark

[@Asmoc23]

Thank you!

[@adamsx69]

شكرا لك

[@robertbabic4595]
