Comfort, Security, and Design: My Experience with the 3 Legged Thing AXIS 24 Camera Strap

There are certain pieces of camera gear that quietly change the way you shoot.
Not flashy. Not complicated. Just solid, comfortable, and reliable. And if I’m honest, when talking camera gear I don’t find many people getting that excited about straps…. but say hello and welcome to the 3 Legged Thing AXIS camera strap system.

This is a quick-adjust camera strap that lets you change the length without taking the camera off your shoulder, making it ideal for shooting on location and on the move. Small detail - big difference in real-world use.

At the camera end, the AXIS strap uses a secure quick-release camera connection, giving confidence when carrying your camera while still allowing fast removal when needed - and can quickly switch to your tripod too!

Available in multiple strap lengths and colourways, the AXIS range matches 3 Legged Thing’s signature design style - practical, durable, and well considered.

This is a camera strap designed to support your workflow, not distract from it - letting you focus on the images rather than the gear.

That’s exactly how I felt the first time I used the AXIS 24 camera strap in Obsidian from 3 Legged Thing.

I took it to the beach - one of my favourite (and most demanding) places to shoot. Wind, sand, salt air, long walks, constant movement. If something isn’t secure or comfortable, you feel it immediately.

And this strap? It just worked.

First Impressions: Secure Without Being Stiff

The first thing I noticed was how sturdy and safe it feels.
My camera felt properly supported at all times - no twisting, no awkward pulling, no moments of hesitation when lifting it to shoot.

At the same time, it didn’t feel bulky or rigid. The balance between strength and comfort is spot on.

Comfort That Actually Matters

Camera straps are one of those things you don’t think about… but honestly, this ones so comfortable I’d definitely recommend you considering it!

The AXIS 24 sat beautifully across my shoulder, even after a decent walk along the shoreline. No digging in. No constant adjusting. It’s one of those straps that lets you focus entirely on shooting instead of your gear.

And yes - it looks very good too. The Obsidian colour is clean, understated, and works with literally everything - looks great with my XT-5 too! :)

Watch the short video I made so you can really see how it works:

Who I Think This Strap Is Perfect For

• Photographers who shoot on location or outdoors
• Anyone who walks a lot while shooting
• Creators who want security without sacrificing comfort
• People who appreciate well-designed, long-lasting gear

The AXIS straps will be shipping and available in shops from June, and based on my experience, they’re absolutely worth checking out.
