5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have For International Travels, May 10, 2007

I recently purchased Made Products' Camera Armor for my Nikon D-80. The Camera Armor is a great product so I was very interested when I heard Made Products offers a shoulder and hand strap, the ToughStrap and SafeGrip Combo, for added protection. The ToughStrap is a shoulder strap with integrated steel cables that run through the whole strap to help prevent theft. It is bundled with with a hand strap, the SafeGrip, that securely tethers your camera to your hand and ensures you do not drop your camera while holding it with one hand.
The past couple of years I have been able to travel to Africa and South America. Immediately upon my arrival to both areas, my tour guides noticed my Digital SLR camera and warned me about bandits. They said it is common for bandits to run up on unsuspecting tourists to cut camera, backpack, and purse straps and run off with the goods. Luckily this hasn't happened to me yet but I have talked with many tourists who have been victims of such tactics.
Upon viewing the ToughStrap and Safe Grip Combo online and my great experience with the Camera Armor, I decided to make the purchase. I am very impressed with the quality of the product. Not only does it offer me protection against theft, the ToughStrap provides generous padding for comfort unlike my Nikon "stock" strap. I would suggest the ToughStrap to anyone who travels or plans to travel abroad. Even if you don't travel, the comfort and protection is far superior to most camera vendors' "stock" straps.
The SafeGrip allows me to hold my camera safely and comfortably with one hand without worrying about dropping it. The SafeGrip has an adjustable velcro strapping system that makes it easy for anyone to use.
For under $40 dollars you are protecting your thousand dollar or more camera investment against theft and dropping. Hmm, makes sense to me. I would also strongly suggest DSLR camera owners to consider purchasing Made Products' Camera Armor to protect your camera investment. There is nothing else out there like it.

I got my made toughstrap bundle with a hand strap for my Canon 30D last month, June. The product is really tough and no question about theft and safety of your camera. But there is one thing I want to call the attention of the manufacturer, the ring that comes with it. The strap uses a ring at the end to be able to attach it to the camera. The ring damaged my camera because it rubs at the corners of my camera which I noticed after a whole day visit to New York. I was disappointed and I removed it and use the original strap again. I hope the manufacturer would improve the attachment because you will surely get some complains form other buyers in the future.

I mostly bought this set for the hand grip. Once I got the products, I put the neck/shoulder strap on right away. It is adjustable, but seems a bit bulky at first. I'm sure once it's used more it will become more flexible and I would get use to it. Then I tried putting the hand grip on along with the should grip and both can be put on together for my camera.

After a while I ended up taking the should strap off because I tend to carry a camera bag every where and just quickly grap the camera out of it when I want to use it. The shoulder strap is still nice, thick padded, and with a slight curve in the padded area to fit more naturally with the body. But so far the hand grip works great especially since it doesn't need the plate attached at the bottom of the camera blocking the batteries like other hand grips do. I also love the reflective strip which is the whole area that is gray. A nice addition for safety when you're taking outside photos.

One little problem is that the rings that attach either the shoulder grip or the hand grip to the camera can damage the area around where it connects to the camera, just a little bit of scratches. But that would probably happen with any strap. My camera is also black, I don't know if this damage would show if you have a silver camera. I use this on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi and it works great. I also have small hands and can still adjust the hand grip to fit me.

Overall, both items in set are great and heavy duty just as described.
