ThePhotoForum camera straps are ready to order!
I'm pleased to announce the newly available TPF camera straps! The straps are $18.95 plus S&H and initially will take around 3 weeks for delivery. The straps contain the following image to help support us here at TPF (ignore the gray backround :lol: ):

If you are interested in ordering, please visit the following site: http://www.procameragear.com/ThePhotoForum/
We will work to add a few additional items in the future as well!
Thanks all!
I wish I knew the answer to that...
How about this, for any of you who have already subscribed to TPF....if you place your order and show us confirmation, we'll extend your current TPF subscription an extra 3 months as a thank you for your order!
And, for those of you that have not yet subscribed. If you place your camera strap order, we'll give you a full year TPF subscription for $15 instead of the regular $25! To take advantage of this, you will need to contact me via PM.
Aren't we nice guys?? :lol: Why do I feel like I'm running one of those infomercials! :biglaugh:
cool! hopefully i'll order one this weekend! i'm so excited!
So I pay AU$18.95 and it all works?
We got our camera straps the day before yesterday but I've been pretty busy lately so I forgot to post about it. Some of you may think that I have nothing better to do than try and sell everyone on these camera straps because they help the forum or because I'm biased. Everyone else knows me and knows I'm not a sell out. :D We replaced two camera straps that we've had for a long while now with these tpf straps when they came in. As I was taking off my strap, I noticed that they were made by the same folks that make the tpf strap except my old strap was the "basic" version of their strap. The tpf ones are like the top of the line straps that Op/Tech makes but they're customized with thephotoforum AND they cost LESS than the generic one I replaced it with. Long story short... even if you don't want to have a commercial advertisement for such a wonderful place, which I couldn't really fault anyone for, this strap is super high quality for not a high quality price. It's a good deal all the way around and shows off for such an awesome place in the process. ;)
And if it said Canon it'd be 30... :lmao:
yes, paypal converts everything for you. You add funds from either your credit/debit card, or bank account. Place and order and paypal does all the work :thumbup:
Little update on the straps. I know many of you were interested in these, but very few orders have ended up being placed. I'm also guessing that many of you are like me, and although I intended to buy one, I haven't actually done it yet! :lol:
So, here is the deal...we need to get a minimum order of 50 together before they will produce the first batch. We're just over 10 right now. So, if you have thought about buying one, please jump in and place your order. These are the same straps being sold on major photography reseller sites for more than what we are selling them for right here on TPF! Get a great quality strap, save money over what you'd spend on some of the other sites, and help promote TPF in the process!
Did I mention they make great gifts for the holidays? :lol:
Seriously though, if you were thinking about ordering and haven't yet done so. Please do. If we can't get to 50 orders, they aren't going to be able to produce them!
Thanks!
Chase
Late christmas present ;)
Now click on my sig and order, dammit! (please!!!!)
TPF isn't a dating site? But what about all the flirting? I was hoping to snag a photographer. :irked:
Oh well. On to plan two. The TPF Camera Strap. Here's what I'm thinking. People can recognize those Nikon or Canon straps from far away, but the TPF strap is unique. Male photographers that I meet in the wild will get a little closer to get a better look. That's when I make my move. :eyebrows:
Oh yeah... I finally got to my mailbox and got my strap. It's so comfortable, I can't wait to try it out. :thumbsup:

Who do you think you ARE getting yours first?? I should have been first! :irked:
:lol:
Label/Receipt Number: LC11 1884 075U S
There is no record of this item.
There's an additional "hook up" fee? No wonder. I thought being a subscriber and buying a strap was the "hook up" fee. :er:
Its really comfortable, glad i bought it :)
:lol:
Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
:)
I was just thinking the same thing - I did give them some time as I'm in the UK, but a month is a long time - I'll wait I guess.
No, you pay US$18.95 and paypal charges you the equivalent AU$
I got mine - very nice strap, you forget that the camera is there sometimes! :mrgreen:
Of course not buddy, just "the love" in general
Two things connected to your above statement, dating sites and guys...no way am I gonna end up meeting charlotte spelt f-r-a-n-k...
I agree wholeheartedly!!!!!!!
Come on now, don't hate the player-hate the shipper:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Sorry to the people who have been waiting so long for these. There still have not been many orders and we had to order 50 to meet OpTech's minimum. We waited as long as possible to try and get closer to the 50, but it just hasn't happened. Hopefully there will be more orders after everyone sees what a great strap it is.
I will give everyone another update as soon as they ship.
TPF isn't a dating site??? :shock: I guess Alison will need to return Hobbes to South Carolina (no idea what to do with Lil E considering) and I'll have to return Malachite to Arizona. :grumpy: So much for your "hook up" fee Chase. :biglaugh:
Come on folks order your straps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Corry :D
I will be ordering two as soon as I order my DSLR, but for now almost every penny gets banked.. great idea though :)
I agree :lol:
Sorry, I missed your question.
From my understanding, 50 were printed, but we have not yet sold 50. So I beleive he has current inventory that is ready to go as new ones are ordered.
Does that help?
We are still in need of more orders, but Phil was kind enough to place the order before we had reached our target number (which means he is risking losing some money). If you are interested, please order. These are the same OP/Tech straps you find at all of the camera shops and they usually cost more than what we are selling them for! They are a great way to help promomte the forum as well.
Thanks everyone, I hope you are looking forward to getting you straps like I am! :D
Thank you Corry :D
:hugs:
I'm the guy trying to get this TPF Pro Loop strap project off the ground for the forum.
Ok, before you all start throwing stuff at me, as Chase said, the company who produces the straps (OpTech) requires a 50 order minimum, and the orders so far have not even reached 25% of that. I did this same project for another photo forum where it was extremely successul, and we ended up selling over 1,000 straps, and literally 99% of the people rave about how great of a strap it is.
This weekend I am going to try and embroider one of the straps, in which case the minimum order will not apply and I'd be able to start shipping them in about a week. Also, the embroidery will look nicer because we can add some color to it, and the stitching gives it a nice raised 3D look too. If the strap cannot be embroidered, I'm going to just go ahead and order the 50 from OpTech, because I know once everyone starts getting their straps and talking about them on the forum, all 50 will be gone pretty quickly.
I will also be producing some sample photographer's vests, shirts, hats and hoodies with the embroidered TPF logo once I work out the logo details with Chase. With those items there would also be no minimum order so most would ship in just a few days.
Sorry about the delay. I'll be back in a couple of days to update everyone.
CLICK ON MY LINK TO ORDER! :)
:lol:
Sorry. But while you lament, feast your eyes on this beauty!!!!!!

Just got a note from Phil and he has all of the straps, they are all packaged and stamped and ready to be shipped to us! Sorry it took so long!
They are great straps, you'll love it!
Joeee!!! Your strap shipped!!! Now where's my original J. Dombrowski prints?
The straps look great, regardless. :thumbup: :lol: Thanks for showing your support for the site, Stranger!
I'm antsy about getting mine, too!
I can pay in the form of a non-sleeping baby at 3am. No extra for shipping :sexywink:
Oh, and we need to order some straps before DC :mrgreen:
