This page shows the artisanship behind the artistic.
Explore the meticulous engineering that takes hours, built to support the uncompromising vision of Yoke through the passing of time.
Artisanship for the Artist
The yoke on the bottom has Regular Stitching (6 stitches per inch) while the yoke on the top has Fine Stitching (8 stitches per inch).
Stitches: The Mark of True Craft
220*+ Hand-Pulled Saddle Stitches
Yoke is rooted in artisanal rigour. Every stitch here is sewn with a needle, palm, and patience. Fine, time-intensive stitches—8 per inch, a density typically reserved for pocket-sized luxuries—are defiantly available as an option.
Why Saddle Stitching
Resilience: If a single stitch fails, the rest stay locked—no unraveling.
Repairable by design
A Note on Imperfection
Subtle asymmetries in the stitching? Each variation honours the human hand behind your strap.
*The stitch count varies by strap length
All rope ends are hand lock-stitched to be fray resistant.
Yoke must Carry the Camera
Yoke can be customised to use UHMWPE thread—used in bulletproof vehicles and spinal implants.
The thread is a longevity system:
1690 kg* core load rating (5mm, rope-burn resistant)
384 kg* tensile strength (2mm line)
80 kg* tensile strength (0.607mm thread)
53 kg* tensile strength (0.457mm thread)
UHMWPE’s is extremely smooth. It rests nicely on the skin while reducing internal wear from the core to the leather and external wear from the stitches from the environment. This lets yoke age gracefully.
*Disclaimer: These are lab ratings. Yoke is designed solely as a camera strap—please don’t rappel off cliffs or do anything you wouldn't do with a camera strap with it. The titanium split rings and leather have not been tested and might have a lower strength than the numbers above.
The 5mm (above) and 2mm thread are reflective.
