Comments about Zing Zing SLR Action Strap-The "Steady Strap":

It's probably as good as any I have seen and a real jewel compared to the one Nikon wants $90 for.
I think I improved this one by not using the Mickey Mouse screw supplied with the grip. I sandwiched the strap to the bottom of my camera with the quick disconnect plate for my monopod/tripod.
The price is right so just ordered a 2nd one for my D90.

PS, I reccomend it to a friend considering the low (I assume close out) price.

Comments about Zing Zing SLR Action Strap-The "Steady Strap":

The strap is strong, but of poor quality.
Driving the mounting 1/4in screw through the nylon strap using the provided holes was nearly impossible, and even after carefully enlarging the desired one with an X-Acto blade, it was difficult.

The adjustment options on the EOS 7D body that the strap was mounted on, were limited. Unless you have really big hands, it won't be a very tight fit, even completely tightened.

Overall the product is purely designed, but works if you don't mind spending the time to modify the imperfections. I have found better equivalent products though, that work straight out of the box with greater flexibility.

Comments about Zing Zing SLR Action Strap-The "Steady Strap":

Used on a Canon A1 and Nikon D70s, both heavy cameras. I do not use neck strap as this strap is secure in your hand and will not allow the camera to drop. The camera is always in my hand for immediate use, unlike when on a neck strap.
