Q&A
Questions & Answers
Jan F : Looking for a comfortable strap which is long enough to swing it to my hip or side when climbing up an incline - would you recommend this one? If not what will carry my canon dslr and 4 lb lense?GREG F : I purchased this strap just about a year ago, and I will say, it is a very comfortable. strap. Compared to Canon's own, your gear feels about 1/2 the weight.
I was taken aback at first that the neoprene padding was not hemmed on the edges, but this has actully added to the comfort level. There is no tough fabric at the edges to abrade your neck.
This strap is approximately 48" long. At 6'2, I have absolutely no problem sliding my arm through the strap and "slinging the camera" for walks, hikes, or climbs.
The padding has enough grab that it "stays where you put it" without being uncomfortable or pulling at your skin.
This is definitely an excellent buy, and would hightly recommend it.PATRICK M : Not long enough to swing to your hip.
I do like this strap a lot.
it is very comfortable.
I am looking for another longer strap as well..JEFFREY H : This is my favorite strap. I use it on my 5d mark 3 and 7d. And it will do just what you want. I can have my 100--400 or 70-200 attached and swing it behind me so I can walk or climb without damaging anything.
when I order a new body.....i just by this strap at the same time.RENE P : Yes. Perfect for that. Very comfortable.MIKE F : I have it on my 1D with the 100-400 lens. I don't often try to swing it to one side but here is my opinion;
If you adjust it for the "proper" length for around your neck so it doesn't sit too low (around your knees) it would be a bit on the short side if you then put one arm through the strap to put it to one side. (did that make sense?)
Yes, the strap can be adjusted long enough to swing to one side but it is then too long to just have around your neck in fornt of you I would guess. (But I have not tried that)NATHAN B : This one will not go all the way down to your hip. I am not sure of any others since I have only used this one and the one supplied with the camera. I usually keep one camera around my neck near my chest using this strap, then use the canon supplied strap on my 7D with the 100-400 L down near my waste on the side. I hook the strap to the camera and let the lens hang down. Seems to work for me. Hope this helps a little.
Shopper : Can I purchase the quick connectors alone. I have enough Tamrac straps but I would like to be able to use them on other DSLR bodies?GREG F : I am unsure whether Tamrac sells the fastex connectors separately, but there is an online store called strapworks that sells these types of fastex "buckles." I am sure a representative there can assist you with the proper size. I hope this helps.ANDREW R : Unfortunately we do not currently offer spare disconnects for this item.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?RANDOLPH H : Comfortable strap for big cameras.

Good strap, but ...
I do agree with other reviews that the neoprene strap reduces strain on the neck. However, users should be aware that this strap cannot be used with a heavy lens such as Nikon's 18-200 zoom. The buckles that hold the strap to the camera simply will not hold this weight. I found this out the hard way when my camera dropped from my neck. Fortunately, I avoided disaster by catching it before it hit the ground. Since then I constantly check the buckles and have found that they slip all the time and need to be readjusted several times during the day.

Your neck will love it
My old Boomerang Strap had worn out...after 20 years of heavy use. I had purchased another similar neck strap...and right away I noticed it was not near as comfortable as my old boomerang. So I purchased the new boomerang....and it was sure well worth the money.

The best strap for a heavy camera
The best strap for carrying a heavy camera around your neck. Spreads out the weight nicely. Well-made like all of Tamrac's gear.

Finally, comfort
I like keeping my camera handy and this product helps me do this. Hardly even feel pressure on my neck from the strap. Able to wear it as long as needed. Great product.

Very comfortable indeed
I used it to carry my 5D MK II with 24-105 mm lens attached. The strap is very comfortable, much better than the one comes with the camera. I'm a small girl. The strap is a bit too wide for my neck though.

Great strap
With so much weight putting on my neck, I'm glad this strap relieves the pain. I can barely feel it with all the padding. Highly recommended!

Just perfect!!!!
VERY confortable after a full day of shooting. It just enbraces your neck, not try to cut trough it, like the "advertisement" original DSLR camera original straps.The neoprene confort is unbeatable, and this neoprene strap is VERY well designed. Would choose next time the all black model...The blue is a little garish, IMHO.

Dandy strap
Have not used it a great deal yet but seems to be a huge improvement over the stock Olympus strap for the E510; even with the 70-300mm lens attached. Camera weight is NEARLY imperceptible.

Much Better!!
Much better than standard camera strap. Leave it in the box and buy one of these Boomerang Straps. This and the N-25 look and feel great.

Solid construction gets the job done
The padding is plenty thick enough, and stretchy but still very solid. However, the edges of it are a little rough, and I feel this could lead to chafing if used for an extended period. Also, I anticipated that the quick release would be the kind where, after popping the strap off the camera, you could snap the part still on the camera together to make a mini-handheld-strap; but it's not. For a couple bucks more, you can get one with a memory card holder, but since I shoot film, I didn't need it.

My Favorite Camera Strap
I purchased my first Tamrac Boomerang Strap over 20 years ago for a 35mm SLR. It is still in use on my DSLR. This new one was purchased for a second camera body that I just bought. I like the way the Tamrac system allows me to easily shift between strap and harness.

Extremely Comfortable
Great for a Pro body with a 70-200mm f/2.8 or other heavy lenses. This strap distributes the weight well and absorbs shocks.

Save your neck!
Trecking around with a 70-200L plus 2x extender can really put a strain one's neck. The stock Canon strap was causing me serious pain on long excursions. Having used other quality Tamrac products, I decided to try their boomerang strap. Good Call! The erogonomic curve and soft but strong foam padding allow me to carry a heavy lens kit all day and not be sore all night. The quick clips are great for studio work as I can quickly remove the strap when using a tripod then just as easily re-attach when heading out in the field. Do yourself a favor and add this strap to your essential gear!

Comfortable and Durable
Purchased the strap prior to a trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Used the Boomerang strap almost exlusively during hikes in Mesa Verde and Colorado. The strap reduces the shock effect on the neck and camera. The quick disconnect feature allowed mounting the camera on a tripod quickly while leaving the strap in place, out of the way.

My Favorite Camera Strap
By JOHN S.
I purchased my first Tamrac Boomerang Strap over 20 years ago for a 35mm SLR. It is still in use on my DSLR. This new one was purchased for a second camera body that I just bought. I like the way the Tamrac system allows me to easily shift between strap and harness.
This is a wide, contoured neoprene camera strap that cushions the neck from heavy cameras. The contoured "Boomerang" shape follows the curve of the neck or shoulder while distributing the weight over a wide area. The quick-release buckles allow interchange between other Tamrac quick-release systems.
