I been using it with my T4i and 75-300mm lens for a few months. Works great. Like it a lot.

I used it on a Nikon D90, a fairly heavy and big camera with a battery grip and a 18-275 Sigma lens, again a heavy and big lens. it worked well, if you are looking for a cheap product, this is a good product. I already reviewed this product before and you can also read my review. Thanks

I would not recommend this strap at all... I had a Canon 7D with a Canon - EF 17-40mm lens attached... The strap clasp broke and destroyed my lens. Spend the extra $30 on a better strap and forgo breaking a $750 lens. I really wish I did

I Use this strap on my Canon 7D with a battery grip and a 70-200. Here is the review I did on it back in July '13. So far my fix has worked well. I ordered this strap to test the differences between the normal camera strap and this type of strap. I use a Canon 7D with a 70-200 telephoto on this. Price was low in comparison to other offerings ... I agree with the other reader that mentioned that it could use an additional clip to help the padded portion of the strap stay in position on your shoulder. Or some kind of rubbery material that sticks to your clothing. Minor issue. What was a MAJOR issue was the fact that while on my recent outdoor shooting day, I suddenly noticed that the hook with the safety buckle that attaches the strap to the plate was unscrewed. Potentially the latch could have opened and send the gear to the ground. Luckily I noticed it before it could happen! What I did to solve the problem was to put a couple of drops of Permatex permanent threadlocker on the threads and tighten the it real good. That is why I only give this product a rating of 2 stars. The company needs to test these products better. Again ... IMO this is another example of using cheap components to drive cost down. Come on ... DSLRs and lenses are expensive pieces of equipment.

I use this with a T3i, battery grip and several lenses. The heaviest lens I've used with it was the 24-70mm Canon lens. I'm sure I could a heavier lens and the strap would be fine. It's very strong.

I am using the strap that came with the camera itself. Its attached to the camera body instead of the carry case, feels much safer this way. The carry case does not seem to be designed for a strap and I am pretty content removing the case and leaving the camera hanging by the strap when taking pictures. This is a general problem with all compact cases. I tried the one canon provides but that too doesnt have a strap.

Hi Robbie, Yes - our straps use the standard attachments on a Canon. We use 3/8" wide webbing on the attachment points.On some of the smaller mirrorless cameras, with the tiny attachment points, the webbing will not fit through. For those cameras we offer adapter split rings to fit our straps. Those are no charge and can be obtained by emailing us! Hopefully this has helped and thank you!! The CC Team

It will not work with my battery grip (3rd party/after market). It does fit the rig, but the follow focus doesn't reach the lens....

I think it would be fine under the pack. It is not any bulkier than a regular strap, really. I use it with a full size DSLR and zoom and have no problems. I like how it slides on the strap. Enjoy!

Hi there, I got this for my D5200 with battery grip and ending cracking the grip because was an after market one. Today I own two D7000 with Nikon battery grip and it actually hold them pretty well!, the part who come for attached into the camera is better than other types of screw system i had tested. Totally recommended...oh important info is the lens you will use (how heavy) I use this with a 70-200 and with my Tamron 24-70 and is perfect...very good investment for the money. NOW i had always keep my hands close to my camera (I always do anyway) to protect against bumps and just in case you are that one in a million ......as you never know, this are expensive equipment and better be safe than sorry.

Sorry, but that collar was returned several weeks ago. It was a decent fit for the intended lens, but did not work well with the lens and the 5D Mk III...

I don't own a Nikon but I do have a Canon 5D Mark III with Battery grip and it works perfect with it. This is a great accessory. I'm very happy with it.

On a "genuine" Canon strap there should be the flexible viewfinder cover. To use it you must remove the eye cup, pull upwards. Then you can slide the cover on in it's place. I never use it, just too cumbersome with out a real need.

I'm not sure what is a heavy dslrI have used a 5d and a t3i on my rig and it holds it no problem. As long as you tighten everything you will be fine.

After buying this product I took it as a lost. I have a canon 70d with a battery grip. Can you explain your problem a little more. The problem I have with it is that the bottom never threads enough onto the screw (on my slider). As a result it wobbles from side to side. But in terms of hold the camera it does just that once I turn the only nob available

It depends on which Canon camera you have. I tried my daughter's T3i and it fit. It might be kind of tight for an EOS 5D. The interior is adjustable so you shouldn't have any problems. I don't own a battery grip, but it looks like it will accommodate that as well.

Dr. Marty, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this grip, especially versus the Canon version. I was hesitant at first buying an aftermarket item for my Canon. I have been a loyal Canon user and have many Canon products for DLSR and video. I bought the Neewer grip and the 3 compatible Wasabi batteries, in addition to the Canon battery my camera came with. It has increased the shooting duration exponentially. (Note: Some people reviewed the Wasabi batteries as marginal or not lasting. I have been using them for 6 months now and they keep a charge and supply ample power.) Sure the grip is a little bulky, protrudes slightly out from the camera body, and may make it cumbersome for some camera bags, but I also purchased an Ape Case 2000 to accommodate that and the fit is excellent. If your shooting video, you NEED the the battery to back up the shoot. Having spares on hand helps. Having a grip with dual batteries is the answer. Bottom line, you should not be disappointed. Any more questions, email me at info at kalepiemedia dot com. Steven

The width of the strap where it attaches to the camera is 3/8". It is very secure. I love my camera strap for comfort, non-slip, and quick release. But I am shooting with a Canon 60D. I do not know your specific camera. I would measure the small bracket on your camera, where the strap would attach. I hope this helps. :)

No, it will not work with the camera you mention. The strap is made for use on DSLR style cameras because it must be attached to both sides of the camera.

When I walk with the camera down, it is tight against me and I have not had the camera spin on me. I've had the strap for around 10 months and I wouldn't trade it for another strap. I love my RS-7.

I have used it on the Canon 5d mkII. I'm sorry but I have no other experience.
