Does this strap work well on shorter women? I am 5' and have a Canon SL1. Thanks.

I love my strap but I am 5'7" so not sure for you. A lot of the time I'm holding the camera anyway but have the security of knowing that if I want to let go of the camera I can and it's so much more comfortable than a neck strap.

OK, what about us taller/larger women -- is it still proportionate? I'm 5'7" and size 10/12 -- would I be better with the men's option?

I am 5' 2" and have had no issues with the size! It adjusts fine for my height. I did have some issues with the adjustment slipping throughout the day but nothing major. I used this everyday on a trip through Asia for 2.5 weeks - It was well worth it!! Much more comfortable than my other strap - less stress on my shoulders. I recommend it for traveling!

Maybe. Depends on how close u like it to you. I would say by your height that you shoud probably not by this strap. I'm 5'8" and there's only a couple inches of strap left for me.

You can adjust it. BUT, it's a pain in the butt to have a lot of extra strap material hanging. I'm 5'4" and I hate this trap for this reason. There is a small plastic clip that you are supposed to use to keep the extra length of material clipped, but the clip doesn't do a good job holding the extra strap and I just can't stand how messy it looks and feels. I wouldn't recommend this if you're my height (5"4") or less.

I think you would find it comfortable and maybe your strap a tad thin for this device, which in my view is made for those 1-inch or more. Not that it would not work, it would, it would just look odd. By the way, for heavy cross-body items I finally went with a postal type strap. This is fine, though, for lighter stuff. I know, mixed messages but best I can do with what I have.

You can adjust the length of the hand down strap so that it will suit your height (5'6"). I am only 5'9" and the Black Rapid RS-7 strap is working fine for me.

I am only 5'1" and it fits me perfectly, so I would not think it would work as comfortably on a taller individual. My husband is 6'7" and I asked him to try it, and the rest did not quite fit his back. I know that neither height fits yours exactly, but I hope this info helps you to figure the odds!

I believe so. My wife is 5'1 (barely but thats what she says) and it work great for her. It can pull pretty tight across the body if needed.

It has more than sufficient adjustment for me and I'm 70 inches and 170 lbs. I don't see it being a problem unless you have a huge chest. It is as large as my Optitech which I use on my M3 anl like better as its got a better non slip neoprene shoulder pad than the Leica strap.

I'm 5'4 and it works great for me. It has several height adjustments and I know I don't work from the lowest one so I would think it would work for somebody a few inches shorter.

Not sure about SL1 but works great with eos rebel with that size lense. Larger lenses work, too, but can get tight.

Yes it works great for short or tall ..I am tall and heavy ..gf is short and heavy and works for both of us

I haven't measured the strap but I'm 6ft 2in at 140 lbs and there is lots of strap for me and I don't have it fully extended so you should be ok.

It does allow for quite a bit of adjustment. I am 6'4" and have it pretty much all the way out. I would buy it and check it out regardless and return if it doesn't suit your needs. It is the best item I have found for carrying a camera so far. I carry a DSLR with a superzoom and vertical shutter/battery pack and it's rides like it's not there, not to mention the easy accessibility.

I am 5'11" and 200lbs. I find that there is more than enough strap to fit me up. Also, this unit works surprising lumpy well for holding my full sized USP with an Aimpoint frame-mounted light attached. It should work for you hi-point, based on what I just saw on the hi-point site ( I don't know anyone who owns one yet ). We have tested it out with full-size and compact offerings from H&K;, Sig, Kimber, S&W;, and even a Baby Eagle, with no figment issues.

Yes, that's how I wear it. I don't know the max length of the strap, but my son who is 6'2" has the same bag and wears it across his body. We both love it! I put my ipad in it too. It took me a long time to find a camera bag that met all my needs. We both used our bags in Italy this year for a month while traveling and they performed great, even in rain. Hint...I sprayed the outside of bag with waterproofing spray for shoes! Really helped.

The strap is adjustable. I'm 5'11" I can either adjust it to hit at my waist or even longer. Very nice product.

Hi A220. You may find the Ergo a little large. There are quite a few adjustment options. The height of the connection between the shoulder straps can be adjusted (up and down the middle upper back). I found that I wished this would actually slide down lower. In terms of strap length - you could definitely tighten all around to suit your smaller frame. FYI I am 5'7" and around 145lbs. I would still recommend. I have read from other reviews of plenty of women 5'0" wearing them. Even after a long walk, I can feel tired carrying my little one. I think it's just the nature of carriers. Still far less if I had carried her for same distance &#128512;
