As the saying goes, “If it’s
too good to be true, it probably is.” I
was reminded of that when I first came across the Hyperion Camera straps. At only €13.00, including international
shipping, any color combination the customer choses, and considering what
similar neck straps sell for, this definitely appeared to be too good to be
true.
Since then a package
arrived from Greece, with a sample strap.
I have run it through its paces, treated it roughly, and tried to wear
it down, even break it. All to no
avail. The strap looks as good as new.
Hyperion neck straps are
made of a soft, acrylic material and woven like rock climbing rope, with the
ends covered by about 1 ½ inch of a waxed nylon strand. The straps as well as the waxed nylon strands
are available in a multitude of colors and can be chosen in any combination
desired. In total 238 different color
combinations are available. The straps attach to a camera with an oversized,
20mm diameter split ring. By design, the
split ring will never touch the camera.
Only the soft material of the strap does, thus protecting the camera very
well from getting scratched.
Hyperion also offers wrist
straps, made from the same materials, with the same color combinations for the
same price.
Pablo K, the owner of Hyperion,
designed the straps because he could not justify the cost of other, similar
straps. So he set out and designed the
Hyperion straps and has been quite successful selling them at this very
reasonable price. Yes indeed, it seems
too good to be true, but this is a definite example where this old adage does
not apply.
