I have had two of these float style wrist straps, the first being the Olympus brand, the second being the Zeikos brand. I sold the first camera with strap and all to upgrade, and made sure to get a strap with the 2nd. Having the choice i figured i would save a little money and opted for the less expensive model Zeikos offers rather then go back wit the Olympus one. It was fine at first, but once i started using it, and actually needed it to perform it quickly gave me nothing but headaches. First it was disconnecting on its own, being on the boat, its always in my pocket or sitting down the front of my coveralls, and often it seemed to disconnect at the slightest tension in the wrong direction. Even more so on a rough day out on the water it would always leave me looking and digging in my pockets rather then staying at arms reach. Second, the easy connector itself has now broken. The plastic is very cheaply made, ive seen better stuff on happy meal toys.. and with it broken now i dont feel as safe to take it on the boat anymore. which is wheres its needed most to do what i bought it for. I dont blame the seller, after all they are offering a cheap alternative to a more expensive product, i just wish i would of spent the extra money, rather then having to spend twice as much ordering two of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but quick disconnect a little too quick, November 28, 2009

The strap seems well made overall. Even though the part that attaches to the camera looked thin it took a lot of pull without breaking or letting go.

However, when I hit one side of the the quick release clip very lightly while the strap was under tension it let go - too easily for my comfort level. I can see having the strap is under tension and accidentally putting pressure on one side of the quick release, like when draped over a hand railing, and losing the camera.

I plan to use it but I will loop the standard camera wrist strap through the float's main strap and forget the quick disconnect. I downgraded my rating significantly because of the lack of a secure quick disconnect.

I bought this camera strap for my Lumix DMC - TS1. We took our kayaks out on the Columbia River today to try it out. It works! We put our camera in the water and the strap floated and was able to support the full weight of the camera. The orange color makes it easy to see. The loop is adjustable and there is a quick release mechanism if you want to detach the strap from the camera. The quick release mechanism seems fairly secure and unlikely to unexpectedly release itself. Overall, I was happy with the price and performance of this product.
