Review on ๐Ÿ“ท VK-Q5 Camera Shoulder Neck Strap Belt - Universal, Adjustable & Quick Release Safety Tether for DSLR Camera, Offering Enhanced Comfort by Tara Perez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a great strap system for carrying the camera and taking photos.

In my photography I often have to photograph places that are not so easy to reach. I needed a camera strap system that would prevent the camera from being damaged when I climbed up or down something, but would make the camera immediately available when I wanted to take a picture. The system starts with a well-padded shoulder strap that is cut off on both sides so it fits on both the left and right side. There are small side straps that keep it on the body. I was concerned about the side straps but there is about an inch of elastic that allows me to breathe. The camera mount strap is a 1" nylon mesh, the quick release slides over it and locks with a lever movement. The quick release is huge but very easy to use. About 10 minutes after I started using it I didn't have to look down anymore. The plate that attaches to the camera is where most straps don't work. I tested the strap on 4 different cameras: Panasonic Lumix G9, Lumix GX8, Lumix G7 and older Lumix GH3 with battery grip. The camera platform never got in the way, I didn't even notice the GH3's battery grip. This plate also has an Arca-Swiss mount so you can switch from strap to tripod in seconds. Yes there are a few but nothing will stop me from buying this strap again. The strap comes with a telephoto strap that attaches to the long lens tripod mount. append - that doesn't make any sense to me. If your camera body has an Arca-Swiss tripod mount at the bottom, why not add an Arca-Swiss mount to a large lens as well? For just a few dollars I bought an Arca-Swiss record with a strap hole. Problem solved. Another problem I have is that I will be using two cameras with different lenses for the events. This system does not allow for multiple cameras and you cannot purchase the quick release part separately.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
