Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the strap, thread the nylon ends through the strap lugs on the sides of your Sony Alpha camera. Ensure the strap is doubled back through the plastic buckle to secure the length before letting the camera hang.
This strap is compatible with virtually all Sony Alpha series camera models that utilize standard eyelet lugs. To maintain the life of the strap, avoid over-exposing it to salt water or extreme chemicals. If it becomes dirty, hand-wash the fabric with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the attachment points and stitching for signs of wear to ensure continued safe operation.
