Papilio II Strap? (1 Viewer)

[tm3]

Unfortunately, I have managed to lose the strap that came with my Papilio IIs. Due to the proprietary attachment system, I can't figure out how to attach a different strap and I have been unable to find a source for a replacement strap.

Does anyone here know where I can find a replacement, or a way to attach another strap?

Thanks!

I use the Peak Design Leash on all my cameras and the superb little Pentax Papilio. It is a great strap.

I wonder if a little holt head would fit and click in place. If so then you could knock up a strap holder….. very annoying as the fittings are nice and work well.

The metal lugs are pretty small, might need some grinding of small m2.5 bolts. I’ve just noted that you can get spare papilio straps… Pentax Replacement Strap For Papilio And UCF-WP Binoculars - Bristol Cameras worth an ask before botching a new one.

Hmmmm, I wonder if the product code for that item is a Ricoh/Pentax code or a Bristol Camera code. Might be worthwhile to bookmark or save the code# Regards, Pat (good find BTW!!)

An m2.5 screw fits, but you need to thin down the height of the head to fit, also sanding the top of the thread a bit would stop it eating the locking slot.
