The product is of decent quality - much better than expected for its very low price. Few things to consider when purchasing this item; however.

It is a light duty strap best suited for smaller and lighter cameras such as Nikon D60 or perhaps D80 with smaller lenses (such as kit lenses). I would hesitate to use it with anything larger. The strap itself is made of a stretchy material so that the weight of the camera + lens that it will comfortably hold is limited. I am using this item with a Rolleicord (60+ year old film camera) and it is perfect for this purpose.

This strap is also shorter than usual. With camera attached to the end of this strap and hanging from my shoulder, the camera hangs about my waist level. If you are taller individual or prefer your camera lower, or if you like to have the strap over your head around the shoulder, this strap is too short.

4 star rating because it's a good item but with limitations as explained above.

This Camera strap by Opteka is far too short. It doesn't even come close to my old Tamarack strap in length.Unlike my old strap, I cannot put it over head and through arm comfortably. It squeezes below and into my arm pit and I am not a heavy person, wearing size medium shirts. It also doesn't have quick releases so that I could have added on an extender, which itself would be a rip off since I thought I was paying for a normal size strap and this would encumber an additional expense. How can I return this strap if I've lost the original packaging ?

Much more comfortable than the strap that came with my Canon SLR, and I like that it doesn't have CANON all over it. I've only used it for a short time, so I can't speak to the durability, but so far I am very happy with this neck strap.
