Are the little cords strong enough to hold a full size DSLR with a zoom lens . They look a little lite weight ?

the cord is very strong, the plastic is strong ... but if it took a hit, I would replace it. You should weight test it after you get them, weigh your camera w/ the heaviest lens you have.. then attach the cords to an object the weighs 5 lbs more and give it some sharp tugs to make sure the catch mechanisms will take the stress. The cords are the strongest link the plastic catch would be the weakest/failure point. BTW ALWAYS make sure the catches are fully closed. I really think these would hold a camera w/ a large heavy lens, caution is the key. I do a lot of on the tripod/off the tripod shoots, so the quick release is great for removing the strap, while on the tripod (less tangles w/ the rigging) the cord is very strong, the plastic is strong ... but if it took a hit, I would replace it.

YES. They're strong enough. I agree with you James. They really don't look up to the job. I've had & used mine now for over a year and I love them. They're TOTALLY reliable. Do yourself a favor James. These will work. At about $ 8.00 a pack - for me that's right on the cusp "acceptable risk" (a little more money than I'd casually risk.) That said - I'm telling you James - they will exceed your expectations. They're dynamite. Get them! You'll be glad you did! If possible, keep me posted. Best of luck! :-)

I don't think the loops would be strong enough. I use them on a Canon G11 and they seem plenty strong for that. For loop and buckle type connectors suitable for a DSLR I would suggest looking at the Op/Tech Uni-Loops.OP/TECH USA System Connector Uni-Loop

My husband says we have a Canon SX40HS, compact with built-in 35X zoom camera. It can hold the same family SX products from Canon, but we don't know whether it will be good for a full size DSLR telephoto lens attached, as the weight might be a bit too much. For our purpose it was good for the last 2 years, no problem.

I've had a 5D2 with 70-300 zoom in a LowePro Toploader attached to 'em hanging off the straps on my backpack and it seemed to be fine. But I'd recommend contacting the company (Tamrac) and asking if they have a weight limit, I'm assuming they will for liability sake.

Yes they're strong enough. Just make sure if you mount them to rollbar, they only fit 1 1/2 inch bar

It all depends on how many lenses and how large your printer is. I prefer to split them up, first to disperse the weight, second I have 8 different lenses and my printer is a canon selphy and I carry the power cords batteries film and paper with me. If all you have is the camera, printer, cords and batteries you should be ok.

No. They are not long, but very short. They are like light, thin ribbons. They are only good enough for thumb/flash drives. You can barely get them over your head to go around your neck. I do not recommend them for anything. For a camera, you would need a full-size strap designed for it.

I don't think they are too heavy. An issue might be that they are very powerful and are on the large side. My hands shake a lot, so when I use these to look at things other than stars and planets I usually sit my elbows on a rail or something similar so that my view is steady. On the plus side, they are crazy durable, the carrying case is very adequate, and they are easy to collimate if the images don't align perfectly on delivery (which happens on many new binoculars).

It holds a 7d with a standard zoom lens quite easily. Battery grip, I am not quite sure. You can possibly check with the manufacturer. They respond quite fast and can get you the right fit. Consider adding the prospeed belt if you carry multiple lenses

I believe this strap can easily handle the weight of a DSLR camera. The cavlar cables a very strong. It a quality product and very convenient to use.

That depends on the tripod that you place it on. I use a Canon 5D3 with a battery grip and 70-200mm f/2.8L lens. I've not had any problems, but that's still not as heavy as your rig. Personally, I'd say that you are okay as long as your tripod can handle the weight.

They're reasonably light weight, but I'm looking into getting a tripod to steady the binoculars. We use in conjunction with a table-top Celestron telescope.

Yes, I believe they would as they are light and water resistance and appear to be very sturdy. I also like that the lens covers are attached so less chance of them becoming lost.

Definitively! They are pretty strong. Ideally you'd want another light from the top, but for a no budget film these are actually very fancy ;-) I use them to shoot against green screen and they work great! They're just a bit clumsy, so make sure you set them up well and be careful if you need to move them. For the price you really can't do better.

Sorry, can't tell you definitely since I do not use that large of a camera. The magnets can hold my Canon Powershot hanging on the side of a fridge with no issues. Good luck.

We use them to hang 7.5 lb pictures, one on each end and have no problems. Hope that helps! :)

My camera and telephoto lens weighs 7lbs. and there is no problem. It is very sturdy but don't try to use it as a stand alone tripod. It can tip easily.

Sorry, I bought them to weight down my lights as the stands aren't very stable. I'm a photographer. They seem fine, should work for what you want. :-)

I've used mine to hold a Canon 5D Mark II with a 70-200 lens and a 2x converter, and have had no problem. If the wind is too strong, you can give it some extra stability by hanging a heavy camera bag or whatnot on it.
