The weight of my (rather light) mirrorless SLR pulls down the strap when I walk unless I lock it with the clip. Am I doing something wrong?

I found that to only happen occasionally and mainly if I didn't pull it a little tighter and with the camera in front. When having it around back I locked it for more security. Hope this helps.

I usually lock it no matter where I have it. Even if you have it up close to your body you can still swing it around to take a photo if you see something you want to "snap". It takes a little while to get comfortable as far as how you want to wear it. I do like it very much.

Not quite sure what clip you are referring to but if it's the clip that locks in the strap length, then yes you should lock it. The weight may have to do with how you are wearing it; I recommend that you experiment with different positions. One word of caution: you must frequently tighten the screw that holds the strap to the camera. The other day, as I was hiking, my camera fell onto the ground because the screw was loose. BAD BAD BAD.

You can go to the Joby website and they have a great, easy to follow video on how to adjust and position the strap. I don't think your doing anything wrong. I have watched it several times just to make sure myself.

I had the impression that I was supposed to lock the clip after I pull the strap tight. It seems second nature to do so since you hold the ring with one hand an the clip/base area w the other to cinch tight to your body. After that motion, I automatically lock it in place. My D800 plus 24-70 would fall down every time if I didn't lock it.

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.

If you are using a heavy DSLR, the belt will likely gradually slide down even if fitted tightly. I have a little bit of a problem with sliding of this nature; but that is mostly because my camera setup weighs close to 10 pounds. A workaround for you might be to attach traditional suspenders to the belt.

I also had trouble at first. There is a metal tab on the interior of the adapter that you have to push in to get it to "lock." You may need to use a small screwdriver to hold it down while placing it onto the lens. Once it's on you'll know.

I have this strap attached to a Panasonic DCM-LF1 camera also with a viewfinder. I really enjoy this strap because the camera slides along the strap allowing you to effortlessly bring it up to eye level. I have the strap length adjusted so that I can put the camera in my pocket while the strap is still around my neck. After trying mine, I bought one for my wife as well.

I don't recall it being an issue. I think I just squeezed the small loop at the end together to get it through the bar, then slipped the strap through the small loop like you'd put on a luggage tag. I guess if it's really an issue, you can take it to a local camera store, and I'm sure they'd help you.

Just use the original camera strap as it's attached to the camera. There are openings in the carrying case design that allow the camera's strap to hang outside. I also found the original Canon strap to be more comfortable too. It's really a pretty handy setup, and the camera is always ready in case you want to use it without the case.

Honestly I don't know as I use the strap that came with the camera. My strap is still wraped like the one in the photo.Alan

It's never been an issue for me. When the camera's at rest on the strap, gravity keeps the camera down and thus no scratching, likewise when you're holding the camera, gravity keeps the clip down. I suppose the clip might rub against the camera when you're holding the camera sideways for portraits, but there's no real force being applied to the clip and scratching's never happened. I know where your concerns are coming from though: those reviews of people vigorously rubbing the clip against the camera...but this never happens in real life--at least in my experience.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Because the case is actually a sleeve, the camera hangs just as it would without the case, with the lens angled away from your body. Your workaround to place the camera in backwards is perfectly fine. I carry the camera when in the sleeve over the neck and left shoulder so the camera rests on my left hip. When I need to take a photo I find it comfortable to lift the camera with my left hand leaving the strap positioned as it is, and taking the picture.

Benro B1 is a little bit of hassle getting used to the different knobs to use. Also it doesn't hold the weight it says when I carry my Nikon 200-400 and Nikon D300s attached to the BenroB1 and my tripod. No it doesn't fall off it just swings down and hits my back as I walk.

The strap is on the camera not the case. It's a standard camera strap, not quick release.

Funny you should ask, Bryan. I just noticed a slight lifting on the back side of the zoom ring today. I've shot a couple thousand frames so far and I carry my camera in a bag where it rubs up against other gear. The knob on the front of the ring is wearing a hole in the bag divider against which it sits. So I've been a little rough with my camera. IMO the loose ring is probably normal. Unless our cameras are both defective. Everything works as it should.

There is a base plate that screws onto the bottom of the camera that is pretty secure. It is similar to the attachment you see on a scope or tripod. The connector between the base plate and the strap itself is metal and not plastic. I do make sure I keep the screw tight when I'm moving around a lots. I have not had any problems at all with it. It all works well with my shoulder harness for my binoculars as it fits over/under that harness nicely.

here is the camera I use with this, Sony HDR-CX260V. when moving around it seems like its putting some strain on mount, its not completely smooth movements. This mount is really design for really light objects.

I'm not familiar with the camera you mention, but I used it on my little Sony. The fit is really tight, and I used heavy thread to pull it through. (It was too thick to thread it the way it is).I love this strap! I used it on a trip to Europe and my camera was by my side without swinging into things, and so easy to slide it up to eye level to snap a pic. Also, the quick release let me hand the camera to someone else to take a pic.

Probably too heavy - this monopod is great quality but not heavy duty. I use it with the Sony NEX 7 and a 200mm compact zoom and that starts to stress the monopod when fully extended.

I think so, it's great if your going out to just shoot pics but it's kind of big and awkward for use as an everyday strap. It attaches at the bottom with a big metal toggle that can get in the way. I like trim, compact things and I actually put my factory strap back on this weekend. When your not wearing the camera the strap gets in the way.
