There where many reviews about the quality of this side strap but I needed something for my trip to Paris and bought this anyway. So glad I did. The side strap is so much more comfortable than wearing the camera around your neck. It attached in the screw hole at the bottom of the camera but still does allow you to screw in a tripod mount which other reviews said it didn’t. Also several reviews said it loosened as the wore it so I kept an eye out for that and mine never came loose during my week long trip. It also has a safety strap which I attached and never had to worry about it dropping. This is a must buy for anyone that doesn’t like the weight of the camera around their neck.
Good strap, comfortable, works as one would expect. Is longer than some that are sold on here that are apparently designed for toddlers that carry DSLR's.
UPDATE 12/12/18:
Customer Service was great, they sent me a new one quickly and without charge which fixed the issue...they certainly value there customers and stand behind there product. I'd have no problem buying from this company again.
UPDATE 11/24/18:
I went ahead and added an extra star because of there customer service.
They were very quick to respond and try and resolve the issue of the screw on the base plate very quickly once they found out there was a problem. That's always a big plus in my book for any company.
...I wanted to really like this sling, but first off the plastic for the clips felt like the cheap brittle type of plastic that eventually breaks.
Then when I went to screw it onto my new Nikon D500, it would only take about a turn and a half then stopped and wouldn't tighten all the way, so thinking it might be the camera itself I took out my canon point and shoot and it wouldn't tread onto that one ether. I went and got my tripod and the mount worked on both camera's so it's clear that the issue is with the treading on the base plate. Had to return.
Absolutely love this strap! I couldn’t tolerate wearing a strap around my neck.. this crossbody design is extremely comfortable .. can wear all day!! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it in photography classes too .. the camera is attached and has a safety backup connection and when you lift to shoot, the camera and it’s straps slide up and down the main strap..so you are not adjusting the positioning everytime you take a picture. The padded strap has a zipper pouch for keeping extra battery or SD cards.. keeping them conveniently at your fingertips! Cannot day enough about this strap! Probably my favorite gadget accessory I’ve ever purchased!

Very pleased with this so far. The shoulder strap "could" be a little more ergonomic in shape, but it is quite comfortable. Easy to use, comfortable to wear, and unlike some others I looked at, it includes the safety strap. I was a little concerned about the plastic clips at first, but then I realized they had a safety built in. Nice product.
Works as avertized. Sturdy. Well made. Took this while hiking around Yosemite, Seqouia, etc. Just what I wanted: a way to carry the camera comfortably, but not have to worry about taking it out of a case. I just put a Crown Royal bag around the camera when I wanted slightly more protection.
Just got this and quickly mounted my Canon 6D camera with it and LOVE IT! The reviews regarding the loosening of the bottom plate seem unfounded and of no real concern. The concern of the "plastic clip" as the safety strap also seems unfounded, as I'd be very comfortable with this clip holding my camera in the unlikely event that the bottom plate were to become detached.
I have the Canon 24-105 lens on my camera and it fits perfectly on my body now and does not bounce at all when I walk and the weight is nicely distributed. For many years I have only used the included shoulder strap and have not really liked it at all for reasons others have described. My only regret is not buying something like this a LONG time ago. Wow oh wow.
Also, the bottom plate fits my 6D camera perfectly, it does not block the battery compartment or anything else. It is as if it were made specifically for that camera. Very nice.
Follow up: Just returned from an Asia trip that included the walking of long sections of the Great Wall and this strap was PERFECT! Made my transversing with the camera very easy to do and access for my camera was as simple as reaching down and lifting it up into position. The only problem I encountered was when I was being driven around, sometimes the camera would spin a bit and get tangled and not hang properly when I exited the car and I had to fumble with it a bit to straighten it out, but that should be expected. I'd add a 6th star to the review if it were possible.
Nice item to have in your camera bag. Unfortunately the safety tether didn’t fit my Canon T4i. I will say the Customer Service was beyond my mind!!! They were so ready to correct the issue and responded very promptly! I can say I will be returning because they treated me so well. Thank you again :)
I was looking for a Shoulder Strap for a new camera, that wouldn't put stress on my neck. This strap is perfect in that it keeps the strap on my shoulder and doesn't ride up on my neck, and it allows me to position the camera on my opposite side just below my waist where it is perfectly positioned when I reach for it, and allows me to hold the camera in a "ready" position without supporting it's weight with my hand. Absolutely fantastic shoulder strap.
