ABSTRACT:
A camera hold steady strap composed of elastic stretch fabric having a certain amount of "give" which acts as a shock absorber when a hook having a base pivoted to the lower end of an adjustable loop formed by a portion of the strap is connected to the user's belt with the so pivoted base of the hook located behind and slightly above the top of such belt. Thus, when the strap is looped over the belt top, as when the camera falls or depends below the belt, or the camera is pulled away from the user by a camera snatcher, the hook is locked on the belt by the strap overlapping the belt top. The strap also serves as an elastic hold down link to the user's belt, for the camera, when carried by the user's camera neck strap; so that the "give" in the elastic stretch fabric permits the user to jog, etc. without damaging the camera. The "give" in the strap also enables the user to take pictures with the camera either horizontal or vertical without having to adjust the strap length.
