So the old nasty leather belt on my Crown Graphic was, well, old and nasty (like me!) Plus it was PITA whenever I wanted to use the tripod hole in the camera's vertical orientation -- you have to undo the belt, blah, blah, blah.
Out at the local JoAnn's Fabric Store I bought a $4.99 package of black VelcroŽ One-Wrap inch-wide trim. It's the new kind of Velcro that has both the hook and the loop incorporated -- you don't need to glue it or sew or anything. Simply threaded it through the brackets on the camera and trimmed it to length. Now I have a lighter, less bulky, infinitely adjustable and more secure grip than can be easily moved aside to access the tripod mount.
That new One-Wrap stuff looks great for other (manly) uses like wrapping cables and such.
Here is an awesome cell-phone picture!
