Should be obvious, but hoping someone will know if this strap's quick release will hold my a77 with vertical grip and heavy zoom, securely? Thanks.

Yes, I use mine for a A-77 with vertical grip. I've also used the strap for an A-99 with vertical grip which is much heavier.

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 it holds well. Actually why I bought it was to get the quick releases in order to get the strap off when I shoot 360 panoramas and my Canon 5D Mk III is on a panohead. I did let a shoemaker cut the leather off and sew the releases into the Canon %D Mk III strap.

I use this strap with my a57 and a 120-400 zoom lens handheld without any problems. It seems to be sturdy and well made.

Strap is sturdy and extra long. Camera connects to the strap via a metal connector which screws into the tripod mount. A big DSLR and a zoom would be as awkward as it would be with any other strap. I use it most when I hike with a bulky fixed lens digital. I find that it hangs comfortably in the back on top of my day pack or in front, if I shorten up the strap. Having backpacked in the past [but never with this strap] I would imagine you would want to shorten it up and hang it on your chest. I think it would be versatile enough for that.

Yes it should be fine. I carry my Rebel with vertical grip on it in there. Sony A77 is similar in size.

I have a sony a77 actually and yes it holds it just fine. It can be a little tricky to balance at weird angles but it holds it just fine otherwise/

Depending on how tight/short the strap is, you'll need to loosen before shooting. It's quick and easy to do this. If you want to ale a vertical shot, you'll probably need to detach one side unless you don't mind criss-crossing the straps. I prefer to just detach one side. It works great with all my packs: day or multi-day!

Well I have a canon camera and I don't have any experience with Sony cameras. This is a generic strap do you have the required holds for a strap they tend to be the same I do have a film camera and can interchange straps.

Yes, it will. This is a fantastic strap. I've been using one since 2007 with no wear issues. The swede leather is comfortable and secure. One nice thing about it is that the ends (the thin parts on both sides that loop through your camera's rings) are made with a standard nylon webbing. It's the same stuff cat and small dog leashes are made from. I'm 6'5" and ANY strap is too short for me. You can easily un-sew the strap ends and extend them. I bought a $10 cat leash, cut it in half and sewed it onto each side of the strap (it's just a loop that you sew back onto itself. I did it by hand in ten minutes). That allows me to wear the strap across my chest and still have the camera riding at my hip. No OEM or other strap will allow you to do that. It's easy to reproduce Tamrac's clips and slides when putting it back together - just do one side at a time and use the other for reference.

I'm using this strap on a Nikon D80, D90 and D7100 with lenses ranging from 35mm all the way to a 100-300mm zoom lens and a 70-200mm zoom. So Yeah, I think holding up a D3300 is the least of the problems the strap has to deal with.

Don't know. I returned the strap because I was concerned that the attachment to the camera was not reliable.

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

Roseanne, I use this pad on 2 different camera bags for over-the-shoulder use. I just checked the width and it will work with the straps on my Canon T3i & Canon 70D. I tried using it behind my neck and found the thickness & rigidity of the pad to be quite uncomfortable. I would recommend this pad only for shoulder carry.

It would certainly work if what you are looking for is a more inconspicuous strap than your traditional black/yellow Nikon strap, but you should consider the weight of the substantial 7100 distributed over a relatively smaller area of your neck or shoulder due to the somewhat thinner profile of this strap. The difference isn't huge, but worth considering.

I'm not familiar with the specific camera you mention, but I would feel comfortable using it with any camera I have. Any camera that would be too heavy I would not want to wear on a strap anyway. I would say you can buy this with confidence.

It holds my Sony A77 with a Minolta 18-105 attached with no problem. The camera body is a little snug, but the depth should accommodate the longer lens.

The strap is great. The quality of leather is good and it connects with two small key ring type things. I have a Lumix GX7 and it works great on that.

The more quickly you move the camera up and down the strap the more likely the strap is to shift on your shoulder. If you try to hang the camera down and the strap isn't secure on your shoulder there is a slight possibly of dropping your rig. The strap makes that impossible. I feel very secure and confident about my gear when I have the under the arm strap attached.

Can't picture what you are doing, it is designed for a standard tripod thread, but is very secure once you have the quick release attached to your car, it will hold your camera very securely regardless of what position it is in.I had the same issue as Ruchy, but was able to put it back together and Have to be careful with the spring
