Vanguard Pro Straps
SWAP FROM HANDHELD TO TRIPOD WITH EASE
Vanguard introduces the PRO STRAP System, designed to carry up to two cameras in comfort and let photographers switch between handheld shooting to any Arca compatible tripod with ease.
The key benefit is Vanguard’s Universal Arca Compatible PRO CLIP. This allows the photographer to choose between the flexibility of a handheld shot or the stability of a tripod, then switch with ease without interrupting the flow of the photoshoot.
The PRO CLIP consists of three parts:
The QS-38H Arca compatible quick release plate attaches to the camera and as a universal system, almost any brand’s Arca compatible plate can be used, and attached to any suitable tripod.
An Arca Compatible Quick Release Clamp then attaches to your chosen quick release plate.
The PRO CLIP attaches your camera to your chosen PRO STRAP. Simply press in both buttons to attach/release to the clamp.
The aluminium PRO CLIP is tested to 150kg on a vertical hanging test and 30kg on a Dynamic 25cm Drop Test, so is capable of holding even the largest camera kit securely, with a Connect Safety Tether tested to 20kg on a Dynamic 25cm Drop Test for additional security.
The PRO CLIP comes attached to two styles of harness: PRO STRAP (a single shoulder harness weighing just 215g) and PRO 2N1 STRAP (a dual shoulder harness that can be converted to a single shoulder harness weighing just 430g).
Both models include a comfortable 7.5cm wide pad, quick length adjustment (maximum strap length of 178cm), clips to hold the camera in position when needed and a choice of two colours (black and green). The PRO STRAP also includes a removable underarm strap, and the PRO 2N1 STRAP includes a removable rear strap and chest strap. If you’re looking for a harness system that allows you to safely carry up to two cameras in comfort and want the ability to swap between a handheld and tripod shots with ease, and includes a universal Arca compatible system that doesn’t tie you to a Vanguard quick release plate, then Vanguard’s PRO STRAP System is definitely one to check out on vanguardworld.co.uk or in leading UK dealers.
5 KEY BENEFITS:
From strap to tripod in seconds
Whether you’re a wedding photographer or a wildlife photographer, there are times when a tripod is better for the shot, and Vanguard’s PRO STRAPS allow you to choose the best option and switch with ease.
Universal Arca compatible quick release plate system
While the QS-38H Arca compatible quick release plate is included, you’re not limited to it. This means if the photographer already has an Arca compatible quick release plate from pretty much any brand, they can use that quick release plate.
Comfort over longer assignments
A 75 mm padded shoulder section spreads the load away from the neck, while stabilising straps and adjustable camera stops help control movement when walking, bending or working in crowded environments
Carry professional camera kit with confidence
The PRO CLIP has been tested to 150kg based on a vertical hanging test and 30kg on a Dynamic Drop Test, so is capable of holding the largest camera kit securely, with a Connect Safety Tether rated to 20kg on a Dynamic Drop Test as an extra layer of security.
Carry up to two cameras
The PRO 2N1 STRAP allows you to carry two camera setups and swap with ease, or can be converted to carry just one camera when two cameras aren’t required. Alternatively, the PRO STRAP is designed to carry just one camera.
WHO IS THE PRO STRAP SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR?
Any photographer:
- Looking for a harness that takes the weight off their neck when carrying up to two heavier camera kits, or just carrying their camera over extended periods;
- Wanting to be able to switch between a tripod and freestyle with ease;
- Wanting to be able to use an existing Arca compatible plate (such as on an existing tripod or a camera backpack clip from another brand).
“We don’t believe a photographer should have to choose between a comfortable harness and the ability to switch to a tripod with ease. They should also be able to choose the Arca compatible quick release plate that fits their current gear. That’s why we developed the Vanguard PRO STRAP System”
