You can pay six times as much money and not get as much good!

I have two of these and have been using them for over a year now. I wear them like crossed shoulder straps and carry two cameras with me; I like it more than any double seat belt I've tried. Both cameras are 7DMkII; one with Sigma 50-500mm and the other with Sigma 18-250mm. I haven't found any broken seams or frayed edges yet. The latch on these is much better than the more common so-called "safety latch"; You know, the kind that has a little threaded collar to keep the latch from opening. After our fourth "safety lock" broke, I stopped buying a strap that had it; If the belt does not have such a latch, then I refuse it. All my long and hard life I have used the same kind and size of straps on the bridles of my horses, and have ridden countless miles in rugged scrubland, places where angels fear to tread; and I never had a reason to come down; the horse can put much more force on the bit; So I highly doubt anything you do with a camera hanging to the side will open any of those latches. the torque itself is weakened; and I have never had a cymbal that could be moved or rotated from the position I placed it in. When using this style I had to keep an eye on them at all times as the mere movement of carrying the camera quickly skewed them. Sit on the camera without taking it off. Not so with those sexy little loop screws that come on pricier belts; They must be removed before the tripod hole can be used. That being said, I've only recently switched everything to Arca-Swiss and now use the wonderful Arca-Swiss Cavix QR-60 record which has a hanging loop built in. If you feel like you always get what you pay for and want to pay ten bucks more, the Morjava QR-60 is identical to the Cavix. both are available here. I have half a dozen Op/Tech USA battery cases lined up on each of my straps, each with a Canon LP-E6 battery. Belt. At fifteen dollars this is a very good deal and better than others that cost a lot more.
