Revainrating 3 out of 5

I love the design, it works fast but the glitter kills it for me.

Firstly, if you have never tried any of the camera straps in this style, just order it, it's worth it. Secondly, I don't know if this is my specimen or if they are all, but after a day of heavy use the chrome paint they used on the quick release started to chip and my camera was literally awash in glitter; I was angry - what if this garbage ended up in my cell? Dust is bad, but shine? It's crazy they thought it was possible to use metallic paint on top of it for use with optics. Steel, but the hook that attaches to it appears to be just a cheaper metal painted to look like stainless steel. What turns me on is that I really don't care how the hook works so far as it looks and personally I'd prefer it to look like brown junk rather than the paint peeling off my camera. How it works: I can't say enough about it, I love the way it works, I just hate the way part of it was built (frankly to give it 1 star if I can otherwise not loved). When you first receive it, you need to take a small metal and rubber screw and screw it into the bottom of the camera, then put on the strap, fasten the anti-slip strap under your hand, and fasten the hook. to the strap you screwed to your camera, then your camera hangs on the side, always ready. This makes it much lighter and allows you to lift the camera and shoot faster than any other strap I've tried. And that's what I like about it, it's fast, your camera hangs upside down and right where your hand would normally fall, so you can just pick it up and pick it up again. Unfortunately, what this speed demon is doing also exacerbates the problem I talked about before, because it's hanging upside down and those little flakes of metal fall on the camera when the "stainless steel" quick release buckle scrapes it off the hook. recommend to a friend? I would probably just lend them mine so they can see if they like the style of this strap before recommending they buy another brand's strap with higher standards of workmanship. Would I recommend you to buy it? I mean it's a great design, I'm just not sure if the risk of having glitter in your camera is worth the cost savings. I'd say give it some thought and if you do, buy some sandpaper on the side and fix that big shiny bug. **Summer** In a nutshell, I would give this camera strap 5 stars for the design and 1 star for having my camera awash with glitter.
