    This is a great camera strap. It allows me to comfortably and securely carry my camera anywhere. It holds the camera in the perfect position so I can raise the camera to compose and capture photos very quickly.

    Excellent quality but not a fan of the mount

    This is a tough product to rate so i will just make it subjective, how i feel about it personally. I say that because some people love it and some like me, won't. To be fair, the construction is fantastic it's a bit pricey but there is a reason, it is solid. The locking carabiner has a screw lock and then a plastic gate lock. I've never had an issue with this coming loose. The problem is more so, the d-ring that screws into the tripod mount. This d- ring can and does come loose over time, especially when the camera is constantly swinging back and forth which is inescapable. This is not my biggest gripe, the D Ring getting loose is not confined to this product alone so i'm not even faulting it there- i just put some removable thread locker on the screw and it hasn't been a problem since. The biggest flaw for me is that there is only one attachment point to the camera. Being there is only one point of contact, the camera will swing, a lot, it's super annoying. Some don't mind, i do. I could live with the camera being upside down but having the camera swing back and forth or hit into me as i walk just defeats the purpose of this strap for me. I wanted it to make carrying my camera comfortable, secure, and accessible. It hits 2 of the 3 but that is not enough. This is where there is difference of opinion. I am currently trying and looking for different solutions, feel free to comment if you know of any!

    Those straps that come with cameras now a days are nice but I don't find them convenient. This strap however allows me to comfortably carry my camera around all day when I am on a photo adventure. The strap hangs off of your shoulder and hangs around waist level on your side. This is great as it allows for a quick draw. Yes, think wild west as a cowboy draws his weapon quickly. In this case it would be a camera we draw. LOL Strap feels solid and I am comfortable wearing it. I think this is a must have for any photographer.

    Best strap

    I am using this strap on a Nikon d750 and it is by far the best strap I have had yet, and that has been more than a few. It's not a big huge strap like some. It is however, padded in all the right spots. I have used it on hot days in the open sun in fields of cars at car shows and I can barely even tell that I am carrying a full frame camera and 24-120 f4 lens. I have already purchased a couple more for my other cameras as well.

    I love this strap for my camera. I walked around Disneyland for 3 days, and didn't get a sore neck like I would have with the strap that came with my camera! Stays in place well, without being so loose that your camera bounces off stuff as you walk by. Strap is long enough even for a larger person. It hangs to your waist, for easy pick up and shoot. This is the cheapest model of the strap, and it works perfectly for the amateur.

    This strap is made very well and security and safety of the camera has been thought through. It is very comfortable on the neck or shoulder which is what I was after. Very nice product

    Nice strap for walking

    This is a nice strap for walking (city and etc.). I wouldn't recommend doing any hiking or anything like that with it as it could very easily get in the way or sway away from your body too much. I use a D5100 and with my 18-140 lens it doesn't feel too lunky or heavy.

    I picked this up to use with my Nikon P900. The P900 is a little too bulky for me to use on a neck strap and the Metro works great. Very easy and adjustable. The locking strap clips are a nice bonus. I paired it with an OP/TECHD-SLR Digital D Series Soft Pouch and it's a perfect combination.

    I took the strap to Costa Rica with my Canon 70D with the 135 lens and it worked great! Comfortable padding and the camera hung at the perfect length at my hip. Plus, you get a cool sticker inside the box to put on your laptop (Haha) Highly recommended!

    Good for What I Need

    Was looking for something easy to use and comfortable for upcoming trips. We "tested" it on a short trip and, just not having the neck pain from the original strap made this purchase worthwhile! Fits comfortably. Easy to attach. Parts appear sturdy. Price was right for what I need. So much better than hanging the camera around my neck. Camera hangs low enough that it is out of the way. It can be grabbed quickly for taking photos without having to remove it from the strap. Although I would have liked a little thicker/wider padding for the shoulder portion of the strap, this works for me, since I am a casual photographer.

    Bought this strap for my husband to go with his Nikon D750. He loves the feel of it as it does not dig into his shoulders and also feels that it is supporting his camera as well. Great price as well.

    I love this because when I am at an event my camera can safely hang from my body. No longer does my neck have to bare the weight while I am waiting for my next shot. It is truly comfortable.

    This strap is a HUGE improvement over the stock strap that comes with a camera. The strap allows the camera to sit at your hip (and the exact location can be adjusted) for easy carry and quick retrieval. When the camera is picked up, the strap does not get in the way. The strap itself is much more comfortable than the regular neck strap that we are always using.

    For the overall cost of the strap, I am disappointed. The shoulder placement on the strap operates somewhat as if its for a specific side. Tightening the strap is extremely frustrating but I will say the carabiner on the end is beneficial.
