Abstract
A carrying strap attachment for a camera including couplers pivotally attached thereto to provide movement between a first operative position, in which the couplers engage opposite sides of a first movable section, and a second inoperative position in which the couplers are out of securing relation with the first movable section. The strap attachment may be detached from the camera by manually moving the couplers from the first to the second position or automatically detached by a cam action provided by engagement of the couplers with a second section of the camera when the camera is moved from an extended to a folded position. The couplers are pivotally connected to a support and a resilient member operated to resiliently bias the couplers into the first position wherein the camera is securely transported in an extended operative position instantly available for use.
