Comments about Domke Domke Gripper Camera Strap, 1" without Swivel, Black.:

Awesome strap with no branding across the strap. It is very minimalistic, but is very comfortable. I hang it on my shoulder and the grip holds onto your body very well. I've used OpTech straps prior to buying this, and I don't think I'll need to find another strap. This is perfect.

I chose to go without the swivel because I wanted as little metal near my camera as possible.

I use the 1" strap with a 5D and a 50L, which is a fairly heavy combo, but the strap is still very comfortable. Its also small enough to not be in the way.

It works and it's not expensive. No name advertisement, either. I should buy more and use them on all of my cameras. Adorama has the best price on this strap that I've seen.

Great strap for two key reasons: (1) no conspicuous branding or logos stitched in neon yellow thread (I'm looking at you, Nikon); (2) the Gripper material, which truly works in keeping the camera attached to one's body when leaning over, etc.Swivel vs. no swivel is a matter of passionate ongoing debate. I personally prefer no swivel to keep the weight down, reduce the number of stress points, and minimize risk of scratching the camera screen with the metal hardware. The need to occasionally unwind the strap so that it lays flat across the back of my neck is a comparatively tiny price to pay for this added peace of mind, especially with smaller, lighter cameras.Only real downside to this item: somewhat creative back-and-forth weaving of the ends of the strap are needed for them to fit snugly within the included plastic doo-dads, which are somewhat loose otherwise. No instructions are provided for doing so.[@](I did the same thing as this guy/girl, except backwards so that the ends are pointing "inward" rather than "outward").
