Neck Strap for Haoge Lens

This is good value for money, especially considering Nikon does not use Arca legs on any of their lenses. Famous brand collars cost $225, so why not try this $65 Chinese brand? Design-wise, it's well done. It is durable, the handle is strong, and the leg is reliable. It attaches easily to the lens and works flawlessly, although I found I had to loosen the knob a little more than I did on the Nikon factory collar. This collar didn't rotate as smoothly as the Nikon collar. It didn't scratch the lens barrel, but it didn't rotate too smoothly. That's a problem? Ask yourself these questions: How often do I actually rotate the lens? How much do I want/need an arca cymbal? Is smoothness worth $160 more? Do I want to impress with a branded collar?

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
