Is this strap comfortable as a neck strap?

I found the strap relatively comfortable. I say relatively because a heavy SLR still weighs a bit on the neck. I found this strap good enough to order it a second time for another SLR I have.

Yes, especially when you have extra weight [battery pack or longer lens]. However, the strap is a little unwieldy for just the camera alone. It is more comfortable on one shoulder than around your neck (unless you have a really long neck.)

Mine is fairly comfortable as a neck strap, although I usually do not use it that way. I usually sling it over my shoulder (similar to a rifle strap). The rubber padding is soft enough that it conforms well to the shape of my shoulder and does not slip off. I like my strap a lot because I have large digital SLR that is a bit on the heavy side. I think it is a good bargain for the price. It's a good product.

Yes. It is wider, softer, and stretchier than the uncomfortable factory straps. The stretch really helps absorb shocks as your camera bounces while you walk. The fabric conforms to your neck helping to distribute the weight also. If you order a set of extension straps, then this strap can be worn across the chest with your camera at your hip making it even more comfortable and taking all the weight off your neck.

Absolutely! This strap is the most comfortable camera strap that I have found yet!

well, this is a neck strap, so it is at least as comfortable as a standard neck strap. The neoprene pad spreads the weight of the camera over the contact area and make it really nice to use. We've been using one for years, and recently bought a second, sling configuration unit, which we have take to using over the sandard optech strap. Once you start using it, you probably wont want to use anything else, They are low priced and perform their assigned function very well. Your only drawback is that if you are a really sweaty person, you may find the neoprene pad a little damp to use. But thats not a big deal usually. Its a very comfortable strap, and in my opinion , works better than any standard strap. well, this is a neck strap, so it is at least as comfortable as a standard neck strap.

Neck strap is not Adjustable. But it is pretty comfortable. Does not dig into my neck or anything.

I have only used this strap over the neck. But OpTech makes a wide verity of straps. Check out their web site.

Nope, the neck strap is NOT adjustable. It's fixed. Comfort-wise, it is ok & it doesn't rub me the wrong way (pun totally intended)!

No, there is no neck strap. All it has is cord (as pictured) that goes around your neck. The cord is only about 24 inches.

Need to remove the neck strap but it does work real nice. I use mine all the time.

My wife has and commented about the strap. When it was colder and she was jackets it wasn't an issue, and its not about comfort. The strap tends to work its way to the middle which depending on the blouse or shirt makes her uncomfortable (looks vice comfort).

the strap is relatively tight, but of course it is adjustable. I'm not certain if your son might feel comfortable wearing it, but for me, it was not bulky but instead it was pretty sleek. Hope this helps.

no, as far as I can see, I just find it comfortable for resting my head & neck. Hope that helps.

Yes. The strap is almost infinitely adjustable. My wife finds it very comfortable to wear.

No its not! Its so uncomfortable. It digs in your shoulder because its round, its not flat.... sorry I meant the shorter straps. The long one is ok, not padded like others say but its not bad.

It doesn't come with a strap but you could easily put one on it, although it's pretty big for your neck, a lot bigger than the picture makes it out to be.

It is a adjustable strap. The strap feels good too, no uncomptable poking or rubbing.

No, otherwise it is a great strap. It is easy to take off the strap when mounting it on a tripod. Very secure, comfortable in both hand held and around the neck. Though I prefer the hand held because of neck issues.
