I haven't had time to use it a lot yet, but when I have used it, it is more comfortable and easy to use than a neck strap.

Would recommend it. Comfortable and user friendly.

I used to get shoulder/back pain when carrying my super zoom camera with a standard shoulder strap so when I bought a heavier DSLR system I thought I try out a sliding system. I am very pleased I did. The camera sits inconspicuously by your hip. The camera sits quietly while you are walking. The camera can be brought to the eye smoothly and rapidly. The system still works if you are wearing an open jacket over it. Additional attachment leashes for other cameras can be purchased to allow quick exchange between cameras. The BosStrap is simple and has a low profile. Best of all, no shoulder pain

Bought a cheap imitation previously, ended up throwing it away after a couple of uses as the strap was of poor quality, as was the connection to the tripod mount. The Bos-Strap is very well made, simple to fix to the camera strap mount on the camera leaving the tripod mount free. Good value and therefore highly recommended.

I love that the camera is on slide clasp. The strap around your neck and body does not move when you grab your camera to take a shot. The camera hangs conveniently at your waist, easy to grab.

I bought this strap because I wanted a sling strap that didn't attach at the tripod screw, that wasn't as bulky as the ones I have with shoulder pads but would still be comfortable and also had a quick release from the strap. The only complaint I have is that the quick release is not quick release since you have to undo the straps that attach to the camera in order to get it off. I ended up replacing the connector with an OP uni loop system connector, and that works great. I bought the strap for my Sony A6000 with 18-200 lens so this camera is not too large and heavy, but I also have a Nikon D7100 and several lenses which will work with it also.

Strap didn't stay on shoulder and rubbed up against my neck. Couldn't get the strap in a comfortable position due to my body type (full figured female). This may have been why the strap rubbed against my neck. Returned product due to fitting issues.

I hate camera neck straps. For the past year I have been using a Cotton Carrier system to carry two cameras one on chest and one on hip. I love the system but was finding on long event coverage the chest plate was just putting too much pressure on my neck and upper back. I decided to try a sling system and chose the Bosstrap for a couple reasons. Mainly that it connects to the camera strap lug leaving the tripod socket free for my Cotton Carrier hub. Connecting the Bosstrap tail to the camera requires some thought but there are good videos out there to guide you. In use the Bosstrap is comfortable and the camera is reasonably secured, you still have to remember it is hanging there when bending, kneeling, walking through tight spaces and so forth shortening the strap helps. My strap comes on and off as I still use the cotton carrier most of the time. The lock buckle on the Bosstrap seems well made and I prefer the fabric connection system over the typical snap clip. In all it seems pricey but I shot a 5.5 hour event using it and was left standing at the end of the evening. If you are looking for a sling strap I think this is a good product.

Like many other reviewers, I researched several brands of straps as my "standard" neck strap that came with my camera was not very comfortable. Same story, camera around neck = literal pain in the neck. I could only normally wear it for 10 minutes at a time and then would have to hand hold the camera in between. That would make my hand tired. Black Rapid, Sun Sniper, Custom DSLR, plus several other brands. All had their good points. The one part that I did not like was that they all attached via the tripod socket at the bottom of the camera. My preference was to keep that free so that my RRS L-bracket could remain usable without having to unscrew the attachment out of the socket. Stumbled onto Bosstrap. Liked that they hooked into the "normal" eyelet. I was a little skeptical though about a non-padded strap, but decided to give Bosstrap a try. Am very happy I did. Easy to set up. The seat belt material is stout and allows the metal to glide easily when raising the camera up to shooting position. I do not like the plastic cam-lock / quick release so I attached a small carabiner to go between the strap and the tail. Feels secure and is a much quicker release for me than pulling off the rubber retainer and then releasing the thin plastic cam lever. The cam lever feels like it locks solidly, but it is kind of thin and I fear that repeated use might damage the plastic cam lever. The camera rests against your hip after a little adjusting. Hanging your hand down my your side easily keeps it in a secure position. And, for those of you who might also have been concerned about not having a padded strap, for me, it was not an issue. I shot a charity event with a D600 and 18-200 DX lens for 3 hours. No strain on my shoulder at all. I was pleasantly surprised. The 1 1/2" wide strap really does a good job at distributing the weight of the camera. And I'm not a big guy. Would highly recommend this product. I also got their Bosstrap Tail, the one with the metal ring, for my second body. Works as advertised.

Best way to keep my camera right at the ready, safe secure and very quick.

You can carry your digital camera comfortably over your shoulder using this strap. It's strong and durable so you don't have to worry about it breaking. Also, I like the fact that it connects to the original camera strap connections. I can put my tripod connection on the bottom of the camera and leave it there. This makes everything very convenient. I thought that not having a shoulder pad would be uncomfortable, but I carried my Nikon D7000 with 200mm lens for 9 straight hours and never felt weighed down. Great strap, wish I had found it sooner.
