As a climber, I was attracted to this strap for obvious reasons. I love the look of it and the personal touch it gives my camera. I’ve also had more than one person already ask about it. The product description does say it’s best for lighter weight camera gear and I do agree. When carrying around the big boy lens (300mm 2.8 on a Nikon D850), it’s not as comfortable on the shoulder, but in my opinion, so what? It looks great and I’m not one bit concerned with durability or breakage. Lots of smiles, zero complaints.
