Zeiss neckstraps (1 Viewer)

[Bezzer]

Just after a bit of information and perhaps give a heads up. I was after a Zeiss case for a one of my bins today and saw they also had a supposed genuine Zeiss neoprene neck strap for £8.62. I've only seen the Aircell neoprene comfort straps that are around the £40 mark, can't find any other types Zeiss do and they look very very similar. Does anyone know if there is another type other than the Aircell or is this a bit of a bargain.? Not that it matters really as I took a gamble and added one to my order anyway🙂 I've no connection to the place but it may be a heads up to anyone wanting a new strap or spare.

Bezzer,

The listing is a bit confusing but it does look like a genuine Zeiss air cell neck strap at a bargain price. I have one and it seems to have been designed for cross body carry of larger optics as opposed to around the neck in conventional fashion as it is not contoured and is a bit long for carry around the neck, at least for me. The standard Zeiss straps I have are contoured unlike my air cell version.

Yes, the item looks authentic and is a bargain. I have one, but mine seems to be an older production because it has „Carl Zeiss“ not „ZEISS“ on it.

To round this off, parcel arrived today. The strap is not a squared off Aircell one like the picture but is a neoprene OE one, contoured and exactly the same as the one on my Terra Ed 8x32. Don't know much of a bargain it is now as can't find them anywhere else including the Zeiss site but quite happy with it.

Nice bins, but I'm intrigued by your microscope!

 

[Bezzer]

Microscope is a Brunel x10-x45 zoom stereo one with built in camera, spare eyepieces and objective multiplier lets it double or quadruple magnifications if needs be.Not high end but perfectly fine for what we want, wife uses it for plant diseases and bugs, I use it to check out insects and anything else that interests me.
Bins just "budget" Zeiss terra ed's.

Very nice - thanks for the info!

I think all of those Zeiss straps are similar. But the ones that have "Carl Zeiss" on them are
extra special................I do miss Carl on the later Zeiss marketing effort. Not sure why.

Hi Bezzer,

to bring light into the darkness:
ZEISS supplies their binoculars with a standard carrying strap.

There is also a more comfortable strap with air cushioning: Carrying Straps

However, the cross straps are even better. Carrying Straps
This may be a little unusual at first, but it completely relieves the strain on the neck. I wouldn't want to give mine back. I now only use this one.

The picture of your link shows the original air-cell-carrying-strap. No idea, why this is so cheap. I would ask the dealer...

This is similar to the binocular lanyard (strap) they have on offer, but without the 'Carl' :

ZEISS Carrying Strap for Binoculars Neoprene

Picture does show the Aircell but I got a standard one, not complaining as it's still cheap, I won't be contacting the dealer to ask why it was cheap 🙂 A later browse of the site showed they also sell the Aircell using the same photo but that is at the proper price. I have got a chest harness, tried it, but don't like or use it, doesn't feel right somehow.
