Well, where do I start, I read the reviews (as you do) ignore most of the 1 star, as mostly they’re whiners are have no clue what they’re buying and thought ok this seems fairly reasonably priced for something I was looking for to take the weight off my neck.I put it together, following the detailed enclosed instructions (that is sarcasm by the way) and proceeded to “climb into” the strap, best way to describe how you have to put it on, then at the same time as you’re climbing into it slip your left arm through the under arm strap.Next I attached the safety clip onto the supplied tripod mount(whatever it’s called) actually I didn’t because it looked crap and I had another better one from a handheld strap I’d bought previously.Ok that was fine camera is hanging round my front nether regions (it’s a Canon R7, with a 100-400 lens on it, with a teleconverter and hood) so climbed out of the strap, adjust length of straps, tried again.Was much better this time but….i noticed on the shoulder pad there is a flat side and a cut out side and the way I put it together the flat side was against my neck, hitch didn’t look right.So I flipped it over but that meant that the under arm strap was not seated correctly anyway I proceeded, stepped into it again felt a lot better and looked a lot better, yea the straps looked a bit twisted but as you can see from the photo’s a couple of the straps I tide a knot in them because I’m not 6’7” and 350 lbs.To be honest the straps are too big and there isn’t enough adjustment to make them fit a smaller frame.I’m 5’10” medium build and it’s too big.Last thing, the extra safety strap, I attached a quick release to it, as I already have one attached to the camera body.I’m on a trip next week visiting Minneapolis (no I’m not going there) to watch some baseball amongst other things so I may make additional comments on my return after walking round with a smaller lens on the camera and see how it is (if I remember):).TLDR it’s a 3 star for performance, 4.5 for price

I got this strap to replace my spider holster. I loved my holster, but I had lost a lot of weight and it wasn’t sitting how I liked anymore. I was tired of constantly adjusting it due to the weight of my camera loosening the holster and dragging it down, so I got this. Fantastic strap. It’s durable, comfy, and secure!!

Very comfortable to carry camera with 24-70 lens or with heavier lens like 100-400.

UPDATE after four years:Still going strong.However, two things I would change:1. The under-the-shoulder strap is basically useless and will allow the strap to slide off the shoulder when sitting which becomes quite annoying after the umpteenth time you reposition it.Far better if the strap went across the chest and under the opposite arm.My plan is to re-orient it just so, IF there is enough length.2. and this plagues ALL of these similar straps.The "scallop" on the shoulder pad is exactly opposite to how it should be and I believe that is a big part of why the strap wants to migrate off the shoulder when sitting.Just take a look at it and think about it a minute = if the scallop were reversed and on the neck/head side, it would make a lot more sense and your neck would not be pushing it away from your shoulder.The only cure for this that I can see is to just wear it backwards.None of the above matters when standing/walking as everything stays in place and is quite comfortable.I have two of these and have used and abused them for over a year.I wear them like crossed bandoliers and carry two cameras; I like this better than any double-camera harness I have tried.Both cameras are 7DMkII; one with Sigma 50-500mm and the other with Sigma 18-250mm.I have not found a broken stitch nor a frayed edge yet.The trigger-snap on these is far superior to the more common so-called "safety snap"; you know, the kind that has the little threaded collar that is supposed to prevent the snap opening.After our fourth "safety snap" broke, I quit buying any strap that has them; if a strap does not have this style trigger-snap, I pass on it.All of my long and rough life, I have used this same style and size of trigger-snap on the bridle reins of my horses and have ridden countless miles in rough brush country in places where angels fear to tread; and, I have never had a bridle rein to come loose; a horse can put a heck of a lot more force on a bridle rein; so, I highly doubt that anything you will be doing with a camera hanging on your side is going to cause one of these trigger-snaps to come open.As for the tripod plate, I have used countless of these and have never had one to torque itself loose; and, I have never had a plate to move or twist from the position that I put it in.I cannot say that for those sexy little screws with a loop formed on them; when I used to use that style, I had to keep a weather eye on them all the time as just the motion of carrying the camera would soon twist them loose.Also, with this style of hanger, you can screw tripod plates and what-have-you onto the camera without having to remove it.Not so with those sexy little looped screws available on the more spendy straps; they must be removed before the tripod hole can be used.That being said, I have just recently switched everything over to Arca-Swiss and I now use the wonderful Cavix QR-60 Arca-Swiss plate that has a hanging loop incorporated; if you feel like you always get what you pay for and want to pay ten dollars more, the Morjava QR-60 is identical to the Cavix; both are available here.I have half-a-dozen of the Op/Tech USA Battery Holsters lined up on each of my straps with a Canon LP-E6 battery in each one.I employed Velcro straps to prevent the battery holsters sliding down the strap.At fifteen bucks, these are a very good deal and better than others costing a lot more.
