Abstract
A camera housing comprising a front cover part and a rear cover part, is characterized in that the front cover part and the rear cover part have respective similar ends that are uniformly curved to be contoured in similar non-varying curves and have respective concavities that extend inward at the similar ends to define a concave surface common to the ends, and the end of at least one of the front and rear cover parts continues over the concavity at that end, in contour with the non-varying curves, to form a carry strap retainer which, with the single concave surface, defines a pass-through opening for an elongate carry strap.
