I was expecting fairly average quality and performance when I placed the order for this camera strap… but ot turns out I am entirely blown away by not just my initial impressions, but by its performance after a week of experimenting with it.
Even as I opened the packaging, which was exquisite and carefully designed to show off this strap, it was obvious that this is clearly a product K&F is proud of, and for good reason.
At first, I also thought I would be put off by the old fashioned style of “quick” release that used to be so common before it was modernized to a small circle loop by a certain small company who’s appeal I would say has “peaked” some time ago. As it turns out, the locking mechanism on this strap puts my mind at greater ease and makes me feel more confident that my camera is secure and will not suddenly detach itself from the strap, which has happened to me before despite itself.
The “seatbelt” like similarity of the strap fabric did not go unnoticed, it neither did the fact that the thread count is clearly equal or better to its competitors, very soft and because of the straps thickness diameter, it sits on my neck cleanly without any rough feeling, I began to hardly notice it was there compared to thinner straps.
Really excited to get more of these for all my cameras, and maybe in alternate colours as well. At the time of this writing I believe the company has made several colour varieties.

Everything about this camera strap says quality and attention to detail. the materials used are top notch, nice quality leather accents and aluminum buckles to double-locking 80 lb rated plastic buckles and superb stitching. The step looks awesome, feels awesome and is excellent quality all round. Event the nylon loops that attach to your camera have a triple layer color coded fibres to let you know the status (good-black, warning-yellow and warning-red) at a glance. That's high attention to detail not often seen on a "lowly" camera strap. It can also be worn around the neck, on your shoulder or cross-body style. I own a few camera straps and this is my favourite one of the lot. Excellent camera strap and I would recommend it.

I have a camera wrist strap from this brand so I knew that they make quality products and the quick release is compatible with the one install on my camera, so I can easily switch between the two. The installation was easy and the strap really feels premium, the packaging is elegant and well design. The quick release function wells and feels solid that is so important when you have an expensive camera hanging from it. The length adjustment also works well. This is a neck strap for cameras that I can recommend for sure and the price is fair for the what it offers.

This camera strap is packaged like a luxury product. It comes in a silver cardboard box, with a semi-transparent baffle on the inside. It's obviously marketed as a giftable camera strap. The packaging projects luxury.
The strap itself is very sturdy. The webbing is thick, the adjustment buckles are made of aluminum, and hold adjustment well. The disconnect buckles have a safety feature - it takes squeezing them on the side AND pushing a button on the front face to open. This is obviously a safety feature to protect unintended disengagement of the buckle (and a tumble of your precious camera).
The end loops are made of pretty thick cord, which is, supposedly, a multi-layer design with a yellow intermediary layer that serves as an indicator of wear.
I find that the feel of the webbing around my neck is a bit uncomfortable with heavier cameras. You may want a wider and softer strap for those. With lighter cameras, the webbing feels OK.
So, in my opinion, the main question you should ask yourself - do you want a wider or a padded strap. If the naked 1" webbing is OK for you, then this strap looks like a high quality product.

I simply love this camera strap!
I'm not a fan of the look or feel of a lot of OEM camera straps, especially the kind that draw attention to the exact make and model of your camera. This strap is just the right size, is made from premium materials, is easy to adjust, and is easy to remove.
The clips lock in quickly and securely, and won't come out accidentally, so you can trust it with your best cameras.

Selected Camera strap Urban Wanderer after a lot of market research. Very practically designed and feels very safe on the camera.

Sometimes presentation can say a lot about a product. If a manufacturer takes the time and care to design and package a product then there is a good chance the product can match that quality. This K&F camera strap is certainly well presented but is it high quality.
The box is high quality with lots of nice little touches inside. The strap is made of a good quality webbed strap with leather and metal buckle loops. My only complaint would be the plastic quick releases. While solid enough they don't match the quality of the rest of the materials. The strap attaches via some corded loops. What's interesting is the cord has three colour coded layers. With each acting as warning to either replace soon or immediately. I attached to my A77II and it had no issues supporting the weight of the camera. Over the shoulder or around the neck it feels comfortable.
A nice quality strap that is well presented and would make a nice gift for a photographer.

Hello,
I'm going to go by points to make the review more enjoyable:
As the subtitle says, it's an opinion as a Vine customer.
I'm a professional photographer.
The presentation is very good. They've improved a lot. It's not so elegant, it always looks a bit "old" but the cardboard, etc. is of good quality. The colors they use are lacking (but let's say minor details)
The build quality is surprisingly good.
You'll see in the photos that I tried the strap with a Fuji X100VI and left the Peak Design anchors on so you have references.
As I mention in the video, the longer the string that hooks on, prevents the strap from turning abruptly on itself or interfering if you bring the camera close to your eye. I hope Peak Design takes note, because it's something that bothers and here at K&F they've done it better. I don't want to discredit Peak Design (they have ultimately been the driving force behind this type of system and new backpacks, etc.), but they need to update.
Adjusting the size of the strap is not difficult, but it is not fast.
I like the design and colour.
As for things I don't like, it is not fast to adjust the strap, and if a hook breaks it is not so practical to replace it.
As of the day I am doing the review the price is €59.99
In short, it is a good product and it is useful. For now it will be the strap I use on my Fuji.
I hope this review has been helpful to you!
Greetings!

I wanted a new strap belt for my DSLR camera because the current one was wearing out. I needed something stylish and easy to clip on and off. That's when I found the K&F Concept Camera Neck Strap. It looked sturdy, durable, and stylish, so I decided to give it a try and ordered it. It arrived very well packed in K&F branded packaging, and the box looked stylish too.
The quality of the belt is amazing. It's made of premium polymer material, which feels durable and sturdy. I like the touches of leather, and the safety fastener buckles look well made. Overall, I'm impressed with the look and feel of the strap. It's easily adjustable, and wearing it around the neck or on the shoulder is comfortable.
The quick-release buckles are easy to use and have an extra lock feature to prevent accidental release, providing additional peace of mind. If you're using a camera on a tripod, you can release the belt from the safety fastener buckles and easily stow it away to avoid tangling, which is very convenient during busy shoots.
In terms of price, it's on the expensive side compared to other DSLR strap belts, which range from $5 to $80 depending on versatility, quality, brand, and usage. However, this neck strap belt is definitely made of premium quality, and the versatile buckle solves some common issues with strap use while providing equal strength and durability. I would say it's a very good investment in your camera gear if you can get it at a discount, ideally in the $30 range. At $50, it's worth it if style is important to you.
In my opinion, it's a good camera strap that's versatile and worth buying.
