As a professional photographer having a good camera strap is a must. The wider band allows for a more comfortable wear and the design is very eye catching. The strap is also drastically longer which means I can wear the camera on my side when not in use. The strap is easily adjusted and feels very sturdy. While there's a lot of plastic involved, the strap is able to support quite the heavy load( 80 lbs) according to the specs provided by the manufacturer. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of five, is because at the time of ordering the strap was $32. For this type of money they should be able to add a little bit of metal in the construction. When I ordered I thought the gray/silver part was metal, but it's actually plastic. While I do feel the strap to be quite secure, I also woul like a slightly better construction( just to get a little piece of mind)
Overall I would highly recommend this as a alternative over the strap that came with your camera.
Pros:
Comfortable
Stylish
Long
Can hold up to 80 pounds(according to the specs)
Cons:
Wish there was a bit of metal in the construction. For $30 I woul expect a slightly better build. Not that the build quality is bad.
Overall, great camera strap. For $30 4/5 stars. If you can get it for around $20 then 5/stars

Wow, after using the KF Concept Camera Neck Strap, I very quickly realized that using it has made for a much more enjoyable experience than when using my old, camera brand strap. What a difference! This strap is very comfortable and also very practical for my needs. The wide part of the strap has a section with built-in padding for your neck. It isn’t obvious in the photos, but it is easy to feel it. Another thing that I really like about this strap is that it is long enough to fit across my body and over my opposite shoulder while wearing a coat, especially since I’m a larger person. Unlike my old camera brand strap, it is very easy and quick to adjust the length of the strap, which is great for when I don’t need to be wearing a coat. The material is nice looking and is also waterproof (a great combination with my rain resistant DSLR body). When I saw and handled this strap, it was easy to see and feel the high quality of this strap. The adjustment buckles are metal, the quick release snap clips are very good, and the stitching is top notch. I feel totally confident using this strap to securely support my heavy DSLR camera, whether I’m out shooting photos or video recording in the field. – see pictures
One of the coolest things about this particular strap is that the quick clips are 100% compatible with the same brand’s K&F Concept adjustable wrist strap, which I like to use while doing street photography or short stints at receptions. This makes this strap super convenient for me. I simply disconnect the neck strap from its quick release clips and then clip in my wrist strap which uses exact same system. Bravo K&F Concept, for this awesome compatibility – a great system, indeed! This neck strap comes in a nice presentation of a box - very classy, and would make an excellent gift for photographers, professional and hobbyists alike.
I highly recommend the K&F Concept Camera Neck Strap for Photographers and happily give it a 5 out of 5 stars!

The K&F Concept shoulder strap arrives in a box.
When you open it, you immediately notice the care used in the packaging of the shoulder strap, which is synonymous with quality that has always distinguished the K&F Concept brand.
The shoulder strap is made of quality materials. It is composed of three distinct segments, two smaller segments that will be fixed on the camera and the larger central part that is very comfortable once worn.
The quality finishes such as the satin aluminum buckles and the leather reinforcement inserts on the seams, plus we have two quick release attachments to pass the camera from the shoulder strap to the tripod or to a wrist strap.
It is a very comfortable shoulder strap for cameras, video cameras, telescopes, the drone controller.
I am very satisfied and I recommend it.
The quality/price ratio is excellent.
I hope I have been helpful in choosing the product.

I love that the strap material feels like a unified piece that will not fray nor separate easily; the aluminum slide buckles made this strap feel strong and premium. It's nice that the inside of the box depicts the wear indicators for the fabric loops attached to my camera.
Construction wise, I did not see any damage nor imperfections with the finishes; the black plastic buckles felt acceptably rigid and secure. I don't mind the orange sewn part as it makes this strap easy to find at night.
I believe the installation was straightforward and the strap length was easy to adjust; I did not find this strap too cumbersome to wear nor add too much of weight while inside a bag.

Wow, the Chinese are really upping their packaging design. That of their new Alpha Camera Strap makes for fine gift wrapping; you find yourself loath to throw it out (but my wife will).
The K&F Concept Alpha Camera Strap appears to be everything you would want or need in a camera strap. The actual straps are, as the seller asserts, made from the same super strong nylon webbing as automobile seat belts, the presumption being that if it can keep you from going through the windshield, its not going to fray or be in any danger of tearing or breaking while hanging a camera from your neck. The part of the strap that hangs around the neck is wide and padded, and I found it to be comfortable. The anchoring links use a unique, double locking system for extra secure fastening; the clip won’t release form the side pushers unless you first push a release button. In other words, you have to hold down one button while pushing two others. And there is also the opposing force of gravity.
At its full length, a camera hangs to my hip and when the strap is adjusted to its minimum length, hangs at my waist. I would prefer that it could be shortened more than that, for those instances when you want to minimize camera bounce. The straps adjustment hardware is attractive K&F branded aluminum buckles, and there are leather patches on each side for accent; adjusting the strap length is quick and easy. I find the two different widths of the strap appealing visually. I’m not sure what the various connecting pieces are made from, it appears to be some sort of plastic or rubber; they are highlighted with robust orange stitching.
I found it to be somewhat of a struggle to get the looped nylon cords of the anchors attached to the camera ring. It requires bending and scrunching the mailable plastic connection between cord and clip to then get the clip looped through the cord. A slightly longer cord would resolve this and eliminate a frustrating chore.
Comparatively, I would say that the K&F Alpha Camera Strap is a good value. The only question I have is where to get more of the camera anchors? Many photographers have more than one camera, so extra anchors would be convenient for quickly and easily switching the strap from one camera to another. Or better yet, include an extra pair or at least make it an option at purchase. And what about a system wrist strap using the same anchors? No doubt K&F Concepts, a manufacturer committed to the photo/video industry, will follow up by addressing these questions. Or maybe spend less on the packaging and instead, include extra anchors.

This strap is made of a nice nylon material that is really far more than most users would need. It reminds me of a seatbelt material, except a little thinner and softer on the skin. The buckles are metal and the disconnects are plastic which gave me some pause at first but that quickly passed.
If you need an inexpensive strap that you can depend on for being well built, this might be your option.
The only negative I can say is that if you have a heavy camera/lens combo this does get a little uncomfortable over time as there is no padding on the strap. Otherwise a great piece of kit.

Beautiful shoulder strap from K&F, great quality materials and impeccable workmanship. Leather, very refined and sturdy canvas, and brushed aluminum.
The shoulder strap attaches to the camera via clips, so it can be removed very quickly. The clips have a safety pin so accidental release is practically impossible.
The shoulder strap has a very wide section, I would say that it is sized either for particularly heavy loads - I'm thinking of a reflex with some bright lenses - or for continuous use, for example even a mirrorless but to document a wedding. When you have the camera around your neck all day it becomes heavy anyway.
The strap has for a good part of its length, I would say about 60%, an additional thin padding hidden directly inside the strap itself that makes it more comfortable and suitable for demanding jobs. This additional padding is so long that if you don't want to fit it into the aluminum grooves for adjustment - which is possible anyway - you can shorten the strap just a little, hence all the reports that the strap is excessively long. Tightening it to the maximum but without passing the padding through the aluminum throat is correct for me: Lateral use, height 185 cm, slender figure. Otherwise it is certainly possible to lengthen it, but also tighten it.
It is an excellent strap, of indisputable quality and design. I am using it with a D810 with 24-70, 15-30 Tamron (very heavy) and 70 - 200 and the camera seems incredibly light. If you have my numbers it will fit you perfectly, otherwise you will have to pass part of the padding through the adjustment buckle, without hesitation.
Beautiful and quality, recommended

Great length to carry my camera in multiple positions. Seems very well made. Carried my camera for several days and it was comfortable

As an avid photographer, I've had my fair share of camera straps, but the K & F Concept 3 in 1 Camera Neck Strap has truly impressed me. It's on par with something high end like a Peak Designs camera strap. Its versatility is fantastic—I can easily switch between using it as a shoulder strap, neck strap, or crossbody strap depending on the situation. This flexibility allows me to adapt to different shooting scenarios with ease, whether I'm hiking in the mountains or navigating crowded urban streets.
What sets this camera strap apart is its stability and durability. The Duraflex brand's UTX Safety Stealth buckle and car seat belt material make it nearly unbreakable, providing peace of mind that my camera is secure. The unique locking mechanism adds an extra layer of protection against accidental drops, ensuring that my gear stays safe even in hectic shooting environments.
Safety is paramount when it comes to handling expensive camera equipment, and this strap offers just that. The quick-connect/release feature allows for seamless transitions when using a tripod or stabilizer, while also reducing the risk of accidental drops. Additionally, the adjustable shoulder strap with its neck widening design and padding in the center not only provides comfort during long shoots but also relieves back fatigue—a lifesaver for photographers like me who spend hours behind the lens.
Overall, I highly recommend the K & F Concept 3 in 1 Camera Neck Strap to fellow photographers looking for a reliable, versatile, and comfortable solution for carrying their gear. With its combination of functionality, durability, and ergonomic design, it's a must-have accessory for any photography enthusiast.

I am pleased with how well this camera strap is made. In the section that fits around my neck there seems to be an inner layer of material, giving this section a little extra stiffness. The materials all feel good and the webbing used in the straps is super strong. I like the quick release clips. The orange thread is a nice design addition. I have seen so many straps that cost many times as much, so this strong, well made strap gets my vote.
