Great Quality
Great Fit, Very nice quality... very comfy Strap! I use it on my canon 500D
Disappointred
Wow this looks like a great product, but sadly it doesn't pass the basic task of being able to attach to a camera. (or at least a variety of different models)
The staps are "extra stength", which translates into wider and thicker. I just purchased a DMC-FZ35 and wanted a good neck stap for it. I ordered this and when it arrived was surely disappointed to find out that the eyelets on the camera would not accept the width of the strap.
Very comfortable - a relief from the standard strap
After suffering through two years using Nikon's flimsy neckstrap, I finally broke down and bought the Crumpler. I can't tell you how comfortable this is. It seems to distribute the weight of the camera in a way that makes it feel lighter and takes the pressure off the neck. I also notice that I don't get as sweaty or break out from the friction like the old strap.
Am I carrying my camera?
I have the Nikon D700, with battery pack and sometimes carrying the 80-200 and the SB-800. Give and take a couple of kilograms on my neck. With the manufacturers strap, I got a sore neck, plus it was a little bit too flashy, no need to show the world I have a D700. I got this strap and have used it a lot, it seems that I'm carrying no weight on my neck.
I do concert photography and it is a pleasure to carry "nothing".
Easy on, easy off securely
I found myself becoming more and more self-conscious about the D300 shouting from the camera strap that came with my camera. I started to flip it inside out to no avail. I then saw a professional photographer shooting a D3 without the strap on. It was light a light bulb going off. Soon thereafter I took off the strap and stopped the free advertizing for Nikon.
Unfortunately, I missed the ability to walk around with the camera over my shoulder. I started looking at replacement straps. And it seemed that there were a few good choices that had a "quick-release" system. But most reviews tended to demonstrate low or no confidence in the plastic connectors. After all, I did not want to find out the hard way that the plastic connector had failed after $4000 worth of gear met the pavement. I read a review that described the Industry Disgrace and carabiners for the "quick release" and I thought that could be the way to go. But, the carabiners that I could find were 3 inches long and I wondered if they would even fit through the camera strap attachment. I found my way [...] and found their mini-carabiners labeled as "metal spring links". They are fine for attaching my camera to the Industry Disgrace, but I doubt they could work as carabiners used for repelling.
I now have the best of both worlds. I can quickly take the strap off when I am on the monopod or tripod. And I can quickly place the strap back on securely. The strap is shaped to fit snugly around the neck or over the shoulder. It is quite comfortable and has non-slip grip that keeps it on my shoulder without any slippage so far.
