Figosa has been manufacturing camera straps for a couple of years now, and they’ve been well known for using quality Italian leather and making straps for an affordable price. Today, the company is introducing their new HEavy Duty strap. Their new Heavy Duty strap is being billed as being designed for more comfort with heavier cameras. Indeed, their classic straps can already hold a DSLR with a heavy lens as can their mirrorless camera straps–and so what’s making the new Heavy Duty strap even better is the addition of a soft shoulder pad with the back being covered in microfiber.

It’s going to be interesting to see how it works with the NYC summer heat and whether it will leave a terrible sweat stain across the shirt. As it is, many manufacturers that create these fine straps have been doing a great job of late. But Figosa’s prices are often amongst the best bargain.

You can get the Figosa Heavy Duty Strap in black or cognac for around $52. We’ve got one on the way to us right now for review.
