I like Lowepro equipment and have quite a few of their items. So I was pleased to see that they had come out with a line of straps. I was particularly attracted to the non-slip grip feature. I just put the strap on my Canon 20D and am very disappointed. First, the strap is rather short with no capacity to make it longer. The worst part ... the non-slip grip feature is totally ineffective. It wouldn't stop anything from slipping off your shoulder. It doesn't even feel tacky. My old UPstrap is going back on the camera and this thing is going in the trash. What a waste of money! Why did I give it two stars? I don't even know!

This is my third such camera strap from various manufacturers. I really like this model. My only negative is that the strap is slightly too wide so that it can be felt around your neck. It does stay on your shoulder quite nicely.

After doing some research and reading the opinions I purchased this strap. As usual Amazon delivered the package in a flash. I own a Nikon DSLR and wanted a strap that can be removed when i'm using my holster case. When the package arrived I was impressed by the packaging. The strap looked great... seemed to be made well but as soon as I removed it from the package I noticed that it was short... real short... There is no way I could wear this any other way than around my neck. i had intentions of slinging it over my shoulder but it wasn't going to happen. The camera would end up in my armpit!
And as the other reviewer stated... there is no room for adjustment.
It would be nice if they sold some sort of extenders...
To eliminate this problem Lowepro should include a picture of someone wearing this strap attached to a camera. It would have saved me a lot of trouble. Withing 5 minutes it was repacked for return.

This camera strap will NOT stay up on your shoulder unless you prefer to drap it across your chest on the other shoulder. The product says it has non-slip fetaures but this is not the case. The so-called non-slip material is actually just a stringy-decorative-like pattern that provides no grip at all. I bought two of these...one for my camera (Nikon D200) and one for my father's camera (Canon XT) and the straps do not work for either of us. Our factory straps have better grip. These are already boxed up and ready to return. It's a shame really because it IS a very nice strap. Very comfortable and nice....just won't stay on the shoulder.

I find this strap to do just what it was intended to do ... for those who found it too short, they need only read the description ... it is intended for over the shoulder or around the neck. For slung across the body carrying, the S model is the one ... "Designed for adventure photographers who wear their cameras sling-style across the chest, the straight Voyager S strap is also the perfect upgrade for photographers needing relief from those skinny, stock straps." *caveat emptor* Latin for RTFA

After carrying different 35mm and digital SLRs around for ages I was in need of a strap that didn't pinch, bite, or otherwise cause pain and suffering. This puppy is the one to get. It's a stretchy wet suit material and is wide enough to not cause pain. The memory card pocket is a plus. Like everything else made by Lowepro and Lowealpine, the workmanship and design is bombproof. The next best thing to a hot assistant.

Does the job.

- Comfort acceptable.
- Length is OK for my 6' height however the strap is at its max adjustable length. Another 2" of length would have been nice.
- The advertised anti-slip improvement is debateable.

Strap is much more comfortable then the Canon strap that came with the camera. It is well worth the money.

In 40 years of camera neck strap experience, the Lowepro line is the best I've used yet. The strap is comfortable. I've not had any issues with the strap detaching - the clip is very secure.

I bought this for my Nikon D300s, which is quite a heavy camera body. I haven't used it much, but I spent the weekend in Washington DC sightseeing, so I had the camera around my neck quite a bit. I found the strap to be stable and comfortable, can't ask for much more from a camera strap.
