I recently bought my first digital slr camera and immediately hated the strap that it came with. The factory strap did not provide me with very much confidence. It was thin and yes, it had branding on it but that doesn’t bother me. What did bother me was the fact it felt insecure and when attaching or removing the strap, there were collars that would fall off of it. All adjustments were done at the bottom of the strap. This strap feels extremely well-made it is a bit heavier than the original strap, but in my mind, what you gain and weight I gained in confidence the strap will hold. The strap uses aluminum adjustment sliders, as well as heavy duty, locking quick clips that are reinforced with real leather straps. The string that wraps into the camera body feels extremely strong and has some kind of coating and attaches directly to the quick clip and reinforced with leather strapping. The stitching throughout. the strap feels like a very soft silky, seatbelt type of material.. Again compared to the original strap this is worth every penny.
I really like that the strap can be quickly disconnected from the camera to make storage in a smaller bag very easy. I hate wrapping the strap around the camera to put in a bag. The second bonus of having the removable strap is that when using a tripod, it is not in the way.
