BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black)

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

Easily adjusted and very comfortable! This strap makes it easy to have your camera at the ready so you can grab and shoot. The attachment feels really secure and I have no worries about the cameras safety.

Takes a little getting used to after using a conventional strap. Could use a pad for the neck/shoulder.

I got this sling strap to try with a heavy Nikon full-frame camera and its heavy lenses, but found that no matter how I adjusted it it strangled me and was always in front of some part of the camera I needed to see or use. Also, no matter how I adjusted the strap or hung onto the camera, the lens either stuck out to the side and banged into things or led my body to the front and banged into things when I raised the camera. Good thing I keep filters on my lenses and usually work with a hood! (The heavy metal strap loop clonked into the view screen and sometimes the the front of the lens, too.) My shoulders were very square before the left was separated and dropped down, but the problem was the same on the right --- females take note: the strap rode over my (large) bosom to my neck, so the sling choked me regardless of which side I had it on.Conclusion: not for the slope-shouldered or bosomy!I'm keeping the sling to try on a lens -- it's gotta be better than the skinny strap that comes with lens cases, and the metal hanger loop problem won't apply to either a hard or soft case.

I really like this sling strap, it was easy to adjust for my body - and its nice to have the camera at the ready for either horizontal OR vertical shots.

Bought by brother one of these sling straps for a Christmas present, but I liked mine so much I decided to give it to him now ... so I gave it to him this past weekend - I just can't see waiting to give him something that will make it easier for him to carry his camera ! He really likes it too!

Highly recommend this product, little pricey - but it works very well!

I got this strap because I didn't like using the tripod mount but I didn't like how I can't take this strap off. What I ended up doing is taking a Think Tank strap and using that with the Black Rapid.
The One Piece strap itself doesn't seem very well designed. It wasn't easy to adjust to the right size.

Attaches to camera sling loop on one side; very secure and easy to move camera from hip to shooting position quickly; Strap is like seat belt material-camera moves smoothly from hip to eye height very easily; I use it with a 7D with 70-200 F/2.8L, Tokina 12-14mm, and 100mm 2.8L and the hardware feels solid and I won't lose my investment(s). Fits across shoulder for comfortable fit. Made in USA

More comfortable than a neck strap especially with larger and heavier lenses. The strap does not get in the way of your shot if your right handed. The strap could use a quick disconnect from the camera body.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

Any sling strap makes a difference so big that any photographer should give one a try. BOS Strap differs from most of them, being very lightweight, without any padded parts, pockets and other stuff making a strap bulky, yet is very comfortable to wear, to use and to store (around lens). Another important difference is it connects not to tripod socket but camera's left strap eye, which makes it more comfortable to use and strap never comes into your way should you shoot vertically or horisontally. It is also long enough to fit the largest bodies. The only small minus is company logo in bright yellow, though not very big. I plan to color it with water resistant black marker.

Use while shooting at hockey games or other sporting events. Makes using my Canon 5DII with 70-200 lens a snap. Less neck strain after three periods of hockey. Also very handy while doing walks about NYC. The direction made a snap to attach.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

I was looking for a strap to put over my shoulder instead of around my neck. The canon strap that came with my new camera I just couldn't get to do this comfortably. I looked at other side straps but I liked this one because it did not attach where the tripod does. The strap is made of seat belt material and is very comfortable and very strong at the same time. It is also easy to adjust and it is very secure on the strap. I have used it with the kit lens and a telephoto lens. It was also a great price - way less then other straps of this kind. I like the way that it doesn't get in the way when taking horizontal or vertical pictures - or on the tripod. It slides up easily and doesn't get tangled either. Great!!

If there was ever a product that was grossly overpriced this is it!I will keep it because its not worth the time and effort to return it....and it will probably work fine.But, just go to any surplus store or any place that sells nylon strapping and buy the same for probably $8.00 (est.)Nothing fancy about this product....just a strap with a loop to fit a camera.In no way worth [$].What a rip off!

Makes it much more comfortable and enjoyable to have my camera with me wherever I go.

Well constructed, no more neck pain from carrying around a camera all day around my neck.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

Love it. i like the fact it is not a screw in type, know that screws work them selves loose. this goes on the camera where the old strap was attached. No need to take the strap off when using a tripod.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

The carrying aspect is just what I was looking for in this product. I'm trying to figure out a way to handle the strap when inside and sitting and when using a tripod.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

I spent some time researching the various available sling straps and chose the BOS Strap. My main concern was a secure attachment to my camera and I find the BosStrap satisfactory. Another advantage is the strap uses the strap attachment point on the camera and not the tripod mount. The strap is comfortable and well made.

One thing I find annoying is when the camera is hanging by my side it tends to bounce around more than I like but I suppose that is true of any sling strap. I'm using this strap with a Sony DSLT which has an infra red (IR) sensor near the eye piece. It switches the camera from live view on the LCD to the electronic view finder (EVF) when you put the camera near your face. When the camera is bouncing around on my hip while walking it may not enter sleep mode and continue to drain the battery because the IR sensor senses my body and enables/disables the EVF. My work around is to hold the body until it falls asleep and then there is no issue.

Helpful, but binds the shoulder a bit when using a heavy lens. Greatest attribue: It frees your neck and the camera is at your side.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

I own both: original and this OP one. The original is already far better than same competitor products. This OP version is one step upper than the old one, in term of design, simplicity usage, comfort.

I use this to carry a 1D series and 100-400 lens on long hikes and this strap helps carry this combination quite comfortably while making it quick and easy to bring the camera up to the ready.

Comments about BosStrap One Piece Sling Strap (Black):

Like the first generation model, but less metal parts. I upgrade from the old one to this new design. Always easy to install and so comfortable for wearing on my shoulder all the day. Large web, smooth material surface like a car belt, adjustable lenght so my camera is always at my right hand level ready bringing it up for focusing/shooting.
