Paracord Nino strap ?

[Tim Hoeck]

Does anyone ever use them or where to get one?

Rick Young Outdoors makes one that is pretty highly thought of.  They have a website.

What is a "Nino" strap?

[David Mitchell]

Maybe bino strap?  I don't now what a nino is either--maybe something used by ninjas?

Why not just make one. It’s easy

What is a "Nino" strap?

I was wondering the same thing but was afraid to ask and possibly show my ignorance about something that I should know.

He probably meant “niño” strap, but didn’t have an ñ on his keyboard.  That's a strap that people in Spanish speaking countries use to secure their babies to themselves while they are walking around.

And here I was figuring spellcheck didn't like "bino".

[Tim Hoeck]

Ok ok binoculars (Binos)    I wish I knew how to make one myself

[Bisch]

I googled “nino strap”, and just knew the results I saw was not what he was asking about!!!!! Binos makes way more sense.

LOL, you never know what's going to happen when you try to abbreviate Tim, though I guess that is the trend these days.

Rick Young Outdoors, they work pretty well. My only concern is being elastic (not paracord), like other elastic bino straps they will stretch out eventually.

I have now for a few years been using the elastic "Bino" harness, the type that crosses the straps on your back. I am on my second one now, the first lasted several years before the elastic finally stretched out. I plan on changing the straps on the old one and it will be as good as new for use on another bino that I have. This design is much better than just hanging the "binocs" around your neck. The harness takes all the weight off your neck, which can cause a real pain in the neck and when you lean over to look straight down the binocs don't  swing down away from your chest blocking your view. There is no way that I would go back to a standard neck strap.  The harness also works great for carrying SLR cameras.

I bought one from from Rick Young Outdoors and really like it a lot.  Since buying the one from Rick, I found another brand that is very similar at Academy Sports and Outdoors for about 5 bucks less.

I have had several different types of straps including the KUIU.  I like keeping it simple best.

I really like my strap from rick young. very versatile and comfortable. I have a sitka bino pouch that I really like as well. I use my Rick Young more often.

LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE MATTERED!!!!

I guess Nino is short for Bino

Hi!
I just got curious with a diy bino strap after reading this post and did some googling and made my self one. It's easy and cheap since I happened to have all the components anyways. And the thing actually works and is comfortable to wear.

Can you post pics, the SLR harness' I can find all seem to hang off one side? I spend a bit of time on my hands and knees crawling around after animals or scrabbling up steep rocky faces and I've always figured the standard slider a la Rick Young etc. wouldn't work that well at let them swing out and bash easily.

Thanks
