Not bad. The strap is not as short as previous ...
Not bad. The strap is not as short as previous reviewer's mentioned, but it is definitely shorter than what came with your Nikon or Canon cameras. That means you can't put the strap over your neck, it's pretty much designed for shoulder carry ONLY.But if you want to put the strap over your neck, use your camera's original strap and loop through the tripod mounting swivel hardware.The swivel design is decent but not perfect, the strap loop really should have been best designed as a single round loop instead of dual flat loop, because once the camera is dangling over your shoulder, the strap will twist at the loop.Regardless, it is durable to hold a D500/D750 with a 70-200mm mounted onto it. And the tripod mount makes picking up the camera so much easier. And the best part is that strap is now on the bottom of the camera and doesn't flap around onto the lens or lcd screen, as if mounted on the camera itself. Much better way to carry the camera over your shoulders.Overall recommended especially at this price.

Purchased just for the clip, not the strap
I was just looking for a tripod mounted clip to attach my own strap to. I was surprised how much various vendors wanted for just the clip alone. By chance, I ran across the Opteka NS-7, but the very low price concerned me. I didn't want my SLR falling to the ground because of a cheap product. I took a chance and ordered one and I'm completely satisified. I removed the Opteka strap and attached my Canon strap in its place. The clip is strong and well made. I used to hate carrying my SLR with a long and or heavy lens in the conventional way. Really uncomfortable. With the tripod mount, the camera and lens lay across a persons body naturally. Even with my heavy Sigma f1.8 18-35 mm lens attached, it's comfortable and it wasn't with a conventional strap. I purchased another for my son and he loves it too. You won't be disappointed with the clip, but I can't comment on the strap, since I discarded it. It's worth the price for the clip alone.

Good,but not perfect
First off the strap is short but I am making it work. I wish the strap was longer than what it is just like everyone else has stated. The band is comfortable and I like it. The attachment to the camera works great and you can attach it to tripod or another strap. It's worth the ten bucks,but if the strap was longer I would have given it five 🌟.

Great for the price - especially if you're considering the Custom SLR Mount
After being fed up with dealing with the straps on my new DSLR, which seemed to somehow always be in the way, I did some research and decided I wanted the Custom SLR C-Loop Camera Strap Mount Solution - Silver bottom mount. Mounting on the bottom and/or side is a superior design, especially since I prefer to carry things around one shoulder like a sling, as opposed to around my neck. Then I saw the price...$40! Figured I'd give this one a shot for the similarity in design and substantially lower cost. Glad I did.The design of the mount is nice. It feels solid and screws in easily, as you'd expect. The turning/tightening design of the CSLR Mount is probably a little more refined, but the Opteka makes up for it by letting you mount to a tripod without removing it. No such luck with the CLSR. There are also several similar mounts available, but most screw in and then do not rotate. I find the rotation very helpful, both in avoiding tangles and in giving some options on how the camera lies against my body, based on the situation. Also, my concern with the non-swivel mounts is that the camera seems much more likely to work its way loose. The swivel should substantially minimize that risk.Now the strap is another issue. It's worth noting that I have a decent strap that I planned on using, and I was basically just buying the mount. Good thing. While the strap seems like it's comfortable and made fairly well, it is ridiculously short, especially for a design that contemplates wearing it like a sling to one side. It MAY be long enough to wear in the traditional around the neck way, but if you're going to do that, you probably don't need this product anyway. Dinging 1 star for this.Overall, quite happy with the mount, especially for the price, and the strap is going in the "I may have a use for this someday" drawer.

Thanks to this strap, my camera could've been ruined ...
Thanks to this strap, my camera could've been ruined, TWICE. The tripod mount detached itself from my camera and plummeted to the ground. On two separate occasions as well, and I made sure it was put on currectly both times.

Rubber neckstrap makes this not ideal for monopod use (or steady shooting in general)
I have a Canon EOS-M, which has an input right where the neckstrap normally lays -- which means that if you want to mount a mic to the camera, the proprietary neckstrap latches are pressing/cutting/racking against the mic plug. This strap allows you to reposition the neckstrap to the bottom of the camera, but the strap itself is flawed when it comes to monopod use:- First of all, the narrower distance between strap ends means that you are reducing the overall size of your three-point stabilization.- Second, the mount is designed to swivel, which doesn't help keep things steady.- Third, the mount is very difficult to remove from the monopod once it's on -- a common problem with these types of small fasteners.- Finally, and most importantly, the strap is made of neoprene, which is a flexible rubber. This means that you can't exactly pull things nice and taught to get your steady shot since the neoprene wants to pull away from the direction you're pulling.My solution was to replace the strap. There better solutions out there and, depending on your application and budget, they be better or worse.
