I have a Sony HDR-CX150. This strap is nice and long so you can put in over your head and across your shoulder and still record comfortably. Or just let it hang around your neck. It's adjustable so you can make it as long or short as you want. I mostly wore it behind my neck and put the camera in my coat pocket. That way it was readily avaiable and I didn't have to worry about dropping it or getting pickpocketed.

Good quality camcorder strap from Sony. This fits perfectly for my Sony camcorder HDR-SR11. I wish Sony included this along with the Camcorder. May be Sony trying to get more money from consumers. Thanks to Amozone for fast shipping.

Before buying this shoulder strap, I read some complaints about this thing not being lengthy enough for them. I'm not very tall, almost 5'4, and this strap is very adjustable. Being a shoulder strap and all, it isn't very comfortable when you wear it around your neck, but it does the job just fine. Sadly, this is the only strap that will fit my SR12 camcorder. At least I have something to keep around my shoulder or neck instead of constantly putting it down and possibly dropping it.

Belt is a little clumsy to use, because of it's design. It only has one connection point to the camera so it tends to spin and flop around. Not much can be done since the camera only has one point to connect a strap. Also, Sony should include a belt for their cameras, like they used to. It does work though, and there isn't much else that can be used on my camera.

If you are going to carry your Sony camcorder outdoors use this product, rather than keeping the camcorder in its case. That way, it will be ready to use for those surprise, must have videos.

This was an extremely handy strap! My camera didn't come with one so we needed to buy a separate one. I needed a strap that was sturdy enough so that I wouldn't have to worry about it, whoever was handling it. We specifically needed a strap that could be carried on the shoulder; and believe me its harder to find then you would think. But this item was perfect and everything that we needed!

I mean, the belt does allow you to hang your Sony camera from your shoulder or around your neck, BUT it doesn't stabilize the camera next to you. It is free to twist, turn and bang up against you unless you keep your hand under the camera's hand strap.

I recently purchased a Sony HDR-CX7 memory stick HD camcorder. I was a bit surprised that it did not come with a neck strap. Although I've gotten used to digital cameras being so small that they no longer needed (and thus, did not come with) a neck strap, video cameras usually do have straps. The CX7 is a tiny camcorder and is probably not much larger than the 2000-era Sony digital camera I used to own (but that digicam had a neck strap). I'm not sure what it is about a camcorder versus a digital camera, but every time I used the CX7, I had a tendency to want to "drop" the camera when I was done and let it dangle around my neck on the non-existent strap. I guess I've just been used to doing that with previous camcorders I have owned (rather than slipping it back in to a case, like with these tiny camcorders).

Fortunately, Sony did make an optional strap for this camera. It's a bit odd in that it clips on to a ring on the hand strap (which is what led me to believe there might be some kind of strap/lanyard for it in the first place). Still, it works well, and now I have a backup in case I ever do just "let go" of the camera. (And, I was hesitant to take the camera out while riding the cable cars at the local amusement park, or try to record on a roller coaster, due to not having such a strap.)

So, the strap is high quality and probably will last. The camera should have come with a strap like this, but since it doesn't, this becomes a must-have accessory to purchase. And, if it keeps me from accidentally dropping and destroying my $800 camcorder, it's money well spent.

I can't believe I am reviewing a strap, but here it is.

I bought this strap because I was concerned about dropping my camcorder or perhaps having it unintentionally knocked out of my hand when filming at a crowded event. I don't use it at all times, but when needed it has served me well.

I bought this for my little Sony camcorder. It is too long and too big. I have a little camera case and the strap was taking up too much room. I took it off and went without one.
