Indigo Marble Camera Strap About Indigo Marble Although we are not professional photographers in any sense, we have lugged enough cameras around to determine that we needed and wanted a strap that was a lot more comfortable and secure than the standard manufacturer strap that usually comes with a camera. And we weren’t the only ones. A lot of our friends and fellow photographers said the same thing.

Indigo Marble Camera Strap Discover How to Get the Most Out of Your New Strap Please refer to following diagram in the following chapter Page 4
Indigo Marble Camera Strap Out of the box The first thing you may notice is a rubbery smell! Not surprisingly, this is the neoprene part of the strap. Neoprene is the material that is used to make wetsuits. Don’t worry. The rubber smell will soon dissipate once you have released the strap from its packaging and taken it out for a spin. Carefully cut or tear the white tape (1) wrapping the poly bag near to the Indigo Marble card. The strap should easily pull out of the card.
Indigo Marble Camera Strap There are two identical buckles (4) on the nylon part of the strap that are used to provide “travel” for your camera once it is attached to the strap. Unclasp each one and adjust it on the strap so that your camera will sit on your hip when walking, but will also enable you to slide the camera up the strap to take a shot without the strap moving. See following picture.
Indigo Marble Camera Strap You have a choice of using the included D-ring (7) or the included L-plate (8). Screw either attachment tightly into your camera’s ¼” thread Tripod Socket. We would also recommend checking this connection on a regular basis and tightening it throughout the day, especially if you have been moving around a lot. We prefer the Lplate, but many others prefer the D-ring.

Indigo Marble Camera Strap 8 Benefits of the Indigo Marble SC35 Camera Strap 1. Provides comfort – The SC35 is a little wider than the average camera strap (especially the stock strap that came with your camera) so it spreads the load of the camera and lens across the neck a bit more. It's really strong and thick (8mm) and the elasticity and softness of neoprene (same material that is used for making wetsuits) provides the most comfortable way of carrying your camera.
Indigo Marble Camera Strap 4. Saves time – Remove camera from strap with quick release system, or exchange cameras quickly (extra included free fastener could already be attached to second camera). If you need to attach your camera to a tripod, just screw your tripod directly into the camera fastener. You may have to remove the D-ring if you are storing it for safe keeping in the L-plate. 5.
Indigo Marble Camera Strap 7. Light weight – The strap will not add extra weight while lugging your camera gear around. Ideally most of us want to carry as little weight around as possible and the SC35 is as light as possible whilst still retaining high strength qualities. 8. Convenience - Customize the amount of glide or travel that your camera can move whilst connected to the strap, by adjusting the buckles.

Indigo Marble Camera Strap Summary In conclusion we think that the strap is pleasing to the eye as well as being less garish than the factory strap. It’s also extremely comfortable and spreads the weight of the camera and lens very well. The ‘quick draw’ mechanism is incredibly useful as it keeps the strap in a fixed place across the shoulders whilst allowing the camera to be quickly brought up into shooting position.

Indigo Marble Camera Strap Exclusive Indigo Marble SC35 Product Guarantee A quick word about Guarantees We have looked at a lot of similar type straps and a lot of different materials whilst introducing our product. We have learnt that a picture on a computer screen does not necessarily bear any resemblance to the actual product. We have seen straps that “look” identical, but upon closer examination, the materials and quality of these camera straps were terrible.
