Do-It-Yourself OWLE Bubo Neck Strap

Last week, HHH reviewed the OWLE Bubo, a new iPhone camera grip. Shortly after, an HHH reader asked if the OWLE came with a neck-strap. I’m guessing that once the Bubo takes off, there will be an abundance of accessories. But until then, I present the “Do-it-yourself, incredibly-easy, down-and-dirty, dirt-cheap OWLE Bubo Neck-strap.”

I took a trip to the local hardware store, and picked up a couple 1/4″ x 2.5″ Eye Bolts. They’re a bit long for my taste, but the store was out of the 1/4″ x 1″ bolts I wanted.

I screwed the bolts into the holes on the top corners of the Bubo.

Then I attached an old luggage strap I found at the bottom of my closet. Naturally, a professional camera strap will give you more flexibility and comfort… but I was aiming for cheap, not snazzy.

And there you have it. A fully functioning OWLE Bubo Neck-strap for $1.50.  Not too shabby!
