Cameraslingers CF-FS Double Camera Strap - Black

The best thing about this double camera strap system is that picking up one body doesn't make the entire thing go lopsided. Those cheaper straps don't have the same contours and thick padding like these do that keeps things in place during use. I recommend taking a few minutes trying out different strap lengths at home, as this will determine, more than anything, how natural the strap system feels to you.The eye bolt that goes into your camera is quite large. They're your typical large eye bolts, like you'd see in a hardware store, but with the addition of a round friction plate, which you screw down against the bottom of your camera, locking the threads in place. To ensure you don't have the bolt come unscrewed during a shoot, insert a screwdriver into the eyehole and give it an extra 1/8 turn once it's finger-tight. If you're *really* worried, a drop of blue Loctite will hold everything solid until you want it out. Don't go too tight, or you risk damaging your camera, but make it a habit to check your connections throughout the night.The large, padded sections, and thoughtful contours mean that you can wear heavy cameras for hours without feeling fatigued. I realize there are cheaper brands selling for literally 1/5th of the price of this, but trust me, they just don't work. They slip all over the place, tangle up easily, and just don't feel right. At the end of the day (of a long shoot) this is money you'll be glad you spent.

I had my camera on this for less than two hours when it fell off and hit the ground. The screw that attaches it to your camera just unscrews. I have to find a way to keep it on there. Other than that it is comfortable and worked well (as long as you can keep your camera on it). I am lucky that I was on grass and was bending down where it only fell about a foot, but having over $3000 of equipment on something that can just unscrew is crazy!

It felt a little clumsy at first, because instinctively you expect the cameras to slide off your shoulder. But the clever back connection keeps everything in place. The cameras hang in an easy-to-reach position. The lone drawback is the screw mount, which attaches to the camera's tripod screw or the tripod attachment on a long lens. As a result, the camera does not sit flat if you lay it on a table, and the hook that screws into the camera can get in the way of handling your lens. It's easy to get accustomed to it, though. Overall, a very good product. A bit on the pricey side, though, for basically two camera straps hooked together. On the other hand, I never thought of it, so there's a value to innovation.

Edit: I used this several times now. Several times doing portraits other times doing weddings. The most annoying thing is when I pick up the camera, the strap will come up with it too. So it will loose its place on the shoulders slightly if not fully. The strap is a pain to adjust especially if you secure the loose end of the strap for a cleaner look. I couldn't use it as a single strap because of this. Overall, I decided to go with Black Rapid which corrected all the issues I had with the Cameraslinger.========It is a nice strap and does what it needs to do. It is good but could be better in some ways. I didn't have any issues while wearing the strap. It feels solid and holds the camera fine. But to improve upon this, a front chest strap would have been nice to make it even more secure. However, the benefit to not having a front strap is that you can wear a coat over the strap to make it look like you're not wearing anything at all.You can detach and use one of the strap separately. If you want to use one of the strap over the shoulder, it might require lengthening the strap to the very end. Even then, it just didn't feel long enough for me. However, it does works but doesn't look pretty.The screw ring at the bottom sticks out like a sore thumb. You'll have to take it off every time you put it back in the bag. After several use, the coating on the screw ring already came off. I don't see the foam on the round knob on the screws lasting any longer either.When I first opened the Amazon box, I laughed at the quality of the packaging. It looked like someone pasted bunch of photos together in MS Paint and printed it out on their home printer. I'm exaggerating, of course, and nitpicking but the packaging did look like it was made for a 99 cent store.Overall, the product works and the quality of the strap is good. The coating coming off the ring isn't really a deal breaker as it only came off where the two rings meet. It still felt solid even without the front strap and makes it more convenient to wear a jacket over. It is a good product but not a slam dunk product. The price is nice compared to the next competing product but I'd recommend looking at multiple products first then decide which is best for you.

this is very high quality, i looked at others because i thought i should be on a budget, but when i realized the straps are going to hold a few thousand dollars worth of cameras, why would i not be willing to pay at least $100 rather than $30 for some POS outfit that could break and drop my Canon 6D and 7D causing $ thouands in damages. I read reviews like that on the other products, watched the youtube videos on how this one is used, went to their site, and then compared the comments to this product, and made the decision that i just need to buy this product. Also note that it is one of the few with no cross chest strap, this will work out well for me as i am friends with the bride and groom i am shooting the wedding for, thus would not want to have a wrinkled shirt and tie from that strap when i am in photos with them. I already tried out the rig with my gear, and it feels very nice, good quality, happy with this purchase.

Didn't get the 1/4 inch loops for the camera bodies???? The strap feels good but I was a tad disappointed to discover the item was not complete... I'm assuming the camera connection screws were supposed to be in the kit?
