Adjustable Camera Neck Strap for Fujifilm Instax Mini 8/70 (FH43) Review
For those who love their Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 or 70, a comfortable and stylish camera strap is a must-have. This review focuses on the Adjustable Camera Neck Strap (Model FH43), designed specifically for these popular instant cameras. After weeks of using this strap, I’m ready to share my honest opinion.
The FH43 boasts an adjustable design, a key selling point. The strap itself is made from a pleasant, relatively soft material that feels durable. The color options (Blue/Pink/White) offer a nice level of customization to match your camera and style. While it’s marketed as a “rainbow” design, the effect is more subtle than I initially expected. It’s a soft, muted rainbow effect rather than bold, vibrant colors. The advertised max length of 96cm easily accommodates various neck sizes.

The adjustability of the strap is a definite plus. I found it easy to shorten or lengthen the strap to find the perfect fit, whether I was wearing a bulky winter coat or just a t-shirt. The strap stayed securely fastened throughout use, with no unexpected slippage. The lightweight design is another advantage; I hardly noticed it was there, even during extended use. The strap is not overly padded, which is fine for a smaller camera like the Instax Mini 8/70 but may not be ideal for heavier equipment.
During my testing, I took the camera on several outings, including walks, shopping trips, and even a concert. The strap performed flawlessly in all situations. It held the camera securely and comfortably, allowing for easy access when needed. One small point – I wish the stitching were slightly more robust; it seems adequately strong for regular use but heavy usage over extended periods might raise concerns.
Pros:
- Adjustable length for comfortable fit
- Lightweight design
- Durable material (so far)
- Attractive color options
- Secure fastening
Cons:
- Stitching could be improved for long-term durability
- Minimal padding
- Rainbow effect is subtle, may not be as vibrant as advertised
Overall, the Adjustable Camera Neck Strap (FH43) is a solid choice for Fujifilm Instax Mini 8/70 owners. The adjustability and lightweight design make it comfortable and practical for everyday use. While there’s room for improvement in the stitching and perhaps a bit more padding, its performance and attractive design outweigh the minor drawbacks. I would recommend this strap to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish way to carry their Instax camera.
