How does this strap wok when sharing the camera with a second shooter - a spouse for example (is it a hassle to dismount and remount)?

It isn't difficult to share at all. My husband is 6 foot talk,I am 5 foot 5 inches tall and we wear it the same length, no adjustments needed. I have the under arm strap too. Pop the under arm strap and then pull it over my head and pass it to him. love this strap.

I've not used the OP/Tech but I've hiked extensively with my R-Strap. It's comfortable, stays in place. Camera doesn't seem to bang against my body in any uncomfortable way.

Yes it is, I just attached my Fujifilm s3pro to it (albeit without a lens) to verify; I would tilt the camera toward the single leg with the logo on it for balancing, and perhaps have the bracket (which has two pivot points) pointed upward to bring the camera closer to the tip of the tripod legs. That way it extends outward less. being a camera with a built-in grip it only sticks out about two inches past the long leg and is perfectly stable. I just stacked my Nikon FE with a 50mm 1.8, AND my 35mm 2.8 manual lenses on it and it's holding here on my desk just fine. :) so yes, two cameras and two lenses worth of weight, straight up, just fine. I recommend a cable or remote release in any case, but especially in this one (it is plastic after all). OR just use timed release if you have the patience and don't mind 2-5 seconds between shutter press and activation. You'll have to compose carefully or place the pod on a surface that let's you compose, but it will work. cheers!

Yes and yes. I take my camera everywhere all of the time. I carry it in one hand with the strap wrapped around my wrist. The strap's connection to the eyelet on the side where I secure it loosens regularly, and I have to check it so the strap doesn't come off and send the camera bouncing off the ground. The connection on the other side works fine, so if you don't carry your camera as I do, this is a nice strap.

I'm not sure why yours does that, my is quite comfortable. Other camera straps bother me after awhile, but I've walked around for hours using this one, using a medium sized camera.

Yes, there is a spot to attach a strap (not included), it is directly below the "HOLD" button... I'm not sure why the one correct answer went on to confuse things by saying that it is threaded for a tripod mount. It is not; the tripod mount is an entirely separate and different thing.But yes, there is a spot to attach a strap (not included), it is directly below the "HOLD" button.

No, not at all. I really like this strap, it's very convenient for me. I can unclip the camera if I'm stationary, or if I'm walking around I use it with the strap. I highly recommend this strap.

I bought this strap for my wife's sx50 and she really is pleased with it. It's very comfortable and isn't too cumbersome. Still fits in her camera case. It's sooo much better than the flimsy strap that comes with the sx50. Well worth the money. As a side note, the sx50 is a great camera. Took it to Hawaii and she took pictures that where out of this world. I took a pic of the moon, unbelievable definition. Hope this helps.

I use this with a canon 7d and 70-200 4L lens. In the past, before upgrading my camera to 7d, I used it with a T2i and canon 100-400 L so the weight is sort of the same. I never mount the black rapid on the camera, just the tripod ring on the lens. When I used the 7d with myCanon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II, I still have approximately 4 pounds of heft, so there is more unbalance, but not too bad. I also walk around a lot in NYC so there really is no other alternative to the sling camera strap for me.

The camera bottom mount has a 1/4" USS stud that goes into the camera, but it also has a female 1/4" USS socket on the other side of the stud, so you could, theoretically, mount the camera on a tripod while it's still attached to the strap. Something to consider would be that now, the whole weight of the camera is concentrated on the stud, with no transfer of weight from the boss area around the stud on the bottom of the camera to whatever boss area you have on your tripod.

It is a clumsy situation. As a right hander, I loop the strap on my left shoulder - - the camera rests from the crotch area to the right hip. To use the camera, slide the the separate single-point "camera strap" up the shoulder strap to raise the camera to eye level. However, the "camera strap" is only about 1.5" long and when you bring the camera to your eye to view through a viewfinder, the "shoulder strap" will rub your face. It doesn't effect use, but it feels awkward.

The strap actually attaches to the camera not the camera case. Since the buyer has to attech the strap it follows that the strap is removable. However attaching the trap to, or detaching the strap from, the camera is not an 'instant' process. Gone are the days of the simple clip on and off camera straps. No doubt a casualty of the march towards cost reduction versus convenience for the customer.

The slider piece that loosens and tightens the sling is what attaches to the tripod screw. I agree with Roger that it probably won't work right without that. I think that they make an attachment plate that allows you to use a tripod and the strap at the same time. That would probably be better than an extra one of these.I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with a heavy body/lens combination on two of these little straps. With a lighter camera I bet it would be fine.

Camera stays in place, no issues with the movement, just don't climb, you'll need an extra accessory for stability

I use a camera , weight is the same, just pay attention to strap tightness and you should be fine, if they swing (as my camera did at first) just shorten strap or tighten harness -- I love mine!

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems. The adapter plate screws into the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera with a thumb screw. I always make sure mine is nice and snug before I hang it from the strap, but I have never had it loosen at all. There is also a nice clip on the strap so you can adjust how low the camera can swing when you have it hanging.

As another answer mentioned, both this hand strap and a neck strap connect to the camera using the same mount point. You cannot use that mount for more than one strap. However, you could think outside-the-box: mount the Movo strap as intended, then when needed, run a belt (or something) through the hand strap and hang that around your neck. You might be able to assemble something a bit more elegant using parts from other straps that snap together (e.g., Convenient Disgrace) but that depends on spending money and experimenting.
