2.0 out of 5 stars Not for heavy cameras, June 28, 2008

By

This strap almost destroyed my SLR and 70-200mm lens. The stitching on the cloth loop holding the quick release buckle unraveled and my camera fell to the ground. Fortunately, I was able to lift it up with the other strap before it crashed to the floor. On closer inspection of the other side, I saw that the loop is held on by a single row of stitching which I think is a disaster waiting to happen. I have only owned the product for two months or so. The strap sounds like a good idea but I would not recommend it if you have a heavy camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great strap, May 12, 2007

If you are looking for a safe, secure & comfortable strap for your camera this just might be the one for you. The nice features on the strap include a curved neck pad feels fine around the back of your neck unlike standard straps that seem to cut into the neck. There are also sleeves on both sides of the strap that cover the attachment parts of the strap. My favorite feature is the quick release clasps which make it great for putting your camera on a tripod.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Strap Ever!, September 24, 2009

Despite the glowing reviews, this is the worst camera strap I've ever owned. It's poorly designed. I've used the strap now for 2 1/2 years. I wasn't impressed with it when I got it and realized some problems right off.

1) The shoulder pad does not use rubber! It keeps sliding off my shoulder. It uses vented nylon instead of rubber. They designed the strap to be worn "tourist style" around your neck, instead of "shooter" style which is over one shoulder. It keeps sliding off my shoulder even when I'm walking around. I have to hang on to the camera and keep pulling the strap down against my shoulder to keep it from falling off. It's one more thing I have to worry about instead of concentrating on getting great shots.

2) The strap is too short. I'm 6'1" and the strap specs say it's max length is 56.4". But the way it has to be fastened to the camera it's only 52". It's too short for me, when using slung over one shoulder. If you want to use it cross chest for security it's going to be way too short.

3) The strap is too narrow. The strap keeps twisting due to the wires in it. And since it's so narrow, I can't tell if it's twisted or not. I have to keep holding the camera out and pull on the shoulder padding end to straighten it out. The problem with it twisting is that, when I put it on my shoulder and it's twisted, the camera ends up in a strange position and not oriented correctly. I need the camera to hang from my shoulder the same way every time for consistency.

4) The wires in the strap have memory. They end up twisted and you can't straighten them out. You can pull on the strap to straighten the wires, but the wires will still be twisted. The wires have memory and end up twisted through regular use, so there's nothing you can do about it.

5) The part that attaches to your camera is not slash proof. It's regular nylon webbing. The strap with the wire in it then attaches to this webbing.

6) The part that attaches to the camera keeps slipping. It uses a standard slider that doesn't hold the strap. After every shoot, I have to readjust it. Because a few times, the ends were very close to slipping off through the slider, and then the camera would fall.

7) There's are metal clips which attach the strap to the part that attaches to the camera. Because the part that attaches to the camera is not slash proof, the put a sliding nylon cover over it. The problem is that the metal clips can open without your knowing it, and the camera come off.

The bottom line: This is a poorly designed product that wasn't tested by real photographers. It's not a strap that you can put on your camera and forget about it. The shoulder padding keeps slipping off, which is a constant pain. The part that attaches to the camera keeps slipping and twisting. The strap will become twisted due to the metal wires and it will be a constant battle to keep it straightened out. The clips that attach to the part that attaches to the camera can open without your knowing about it. The bottom line is that this is camera strap that you have to keep fiddling with constantly. It's not the kind where you can attach to your camera and forget about it. After 2 1/2 years of constant fiddling with the strap on shoots, I finally went back to the Canon strap that came with the camera. Using this strap was total aggravation.
