I was very disappointed in this product.  I had my camera attached to it on the boat and had it around my wrist.  The thin strap that attached the float to my camera broke and I lost my camera off the side of the boat.  Needless to say, this became a very expensive and disappointing experience.  All the photos I took on my trip to the BVIs were lost because of the faulty strap.....I would never buy another or trust it to hold up.......

Because the camera (Nikon) I purchased neglected to mention that there was a camera strap included (but they DID mention the charger and batteries, case, etc.), I purchased this strap. Happily, even though the other was functional, this one has an artistic pattern reminiscent of the rich rugs of the Far East or of patterns in the Alhambra. Reds, oranges, blacks, blues, and yellows. NOT pink. I like that I'm not providing free advertising for the camera company.
The strap is sturdy, w/a padded area in the middle underside. This material is a very thick, soft velvety velour-ized plastic (?) outside, with a plasticized pad inside--not gel-like. When compressing it, it's like paper, but fluffy (?)--not crackly. (It's REALLY hard to describe.) This may account for the reviews where sensitive folk say it's not very padded. I didn't have any problems at all like >95% of people out there; the width and pad disseminate the pressure over your neck or shoulder. There are two slide devices on each side.  The smaller one one-holed slide is to slide down near the camera post after the strap passes around and back through the slide to lock it down near the post. Unfortunately, this one was a wee bit too loose for my satisfaction, even though both ends of the strap are passed through both holes of the larger slide at the higher end and seems ok. (I suspect they made the hole bigger in the one-holed slide for people with poor hand strength or dexterity); to be able to get the strap through a smaller aperture would be painful.) To increase MY confidence, at the end to the straps, I tied it in a KNOT on each side. Later, I will be sewing it down (without the knot!) with quilting thread. I'm NuhNuhNOT going to have a $$$ camera end up on the ground. I apologize if the portion about the slides is confusing. There are You-Tube videos on how to secure straps to cameras. Best of Luck if you buy this strap. It is lovely, but not effeminate--because of it's patterning, hub#1 can use it without thinking that it's girly. [Unlike the insecurities of hub#2 (ex).] It's made here in the US also! I highly recommend it and would buy it again, even with the other camera strap being free.

I was going on a day hike (no climbing or jumping -- just walking) with my Canon 7D with a 18-135 kit lens and a canon EX600 flash attached.  I thought that it would be a good day to test my new rapid strap...I was wrong.

WITHIN AN HOUR of the beginning of my hike, the pin that keeps the carabiner attached to the sling slipped out of the socket, sending my camera, with all of its attachments, rolling down the side of a very steep hill.

Needless to say, this is getting returned and I'm having to deal with getting my equipment repaired.

If you do anything more strenuous than standing or sitting, THIS PRODUCT CAN'T BE TRUSTED!

I bought his mainly for the float strap. After attaching the strap and having the connection come apart 3 out of five times I didn't feel confident that my Camera would be safe to use in the water.

I returned the kit because of the poor quality float strap.  I didn't even open the other products included.

I wore this shoe ONE TIME AND THE STRAPS AT TOP ON BOTH SHOES  BROKE (I WAS SO EMBARRASSED)

It fell over once and broke a smal part off, wasn't high up or anything. Also, when I attached my digital camera (D90), it seemed to be almost to heavy for the tripod itself...lame.

Ahhhh, so scary!! After a few months of using this the strap started coming out in the middle of photo shoots. It's a good thing I always cup my lens, or else I would've lost a camera twice! It's better to just get a nicer one and spend a few more dollars.

Literally the first time I used it the strap that came with the camera slipped. The camera hit the ground, bending the lens just enough that it won't open. So, that sucks. A replacement lens costs about as much as the camera so I guess I'm just SOL. If you're buying this don't use the strap, get something that is actually secure.

I finally worked the thicker string through the camera loop as it's not very thick but I finally got it through and then I looped the original strap through this new strap loop and they work great together attached to my camera.

The head strap camera mount broke down during the first time I used it - a very low connector quality

Thanks to this strap, my camera could've been ruined, TWICE. The tripod mount detached itself from my camera and plummeted to the ground. On two separate occasions as well, and I made sure it was put on currectly both times.

The strap broke while tightening the first time we used it. unfortunately my return window also close by the time we used it for first time.  Wonder how we can get a new strap.

Plastic clip did not hold and snap open.  Lost camera in ocean.
Felt so stupid that I would trust a $6 strap on a $300 camera...

Just make sure your have your adapters that came with the camera. These are the only things that will attach. I have not seen them sold separately.  This is an excellent strap. I never take it off the camera.

I was disappointed when I broke this the first time I used it. All I did was twist it to turn the camera like I have with the GoPro version of this a hundred times. The plastic is not as heavy and it broke. I needed the "foot" off it for another GoPro accessory and it snapped off first time I used it too. I don't feel I've been abusive, just expected to to work as well as he GoPro version. It did not.
