Comments about Giottos Deluxe Adjustable Shoulder Strap:
I bought this strap to use with my Manfrotto 055CXPro4 and occasionally with my older Manfrotto 055XPro3. I was prepared to buy one on an online auction site (yeah, you know which one) and decided to check B&H before I did. B&H was cheaper by far. [...] I'm glad I thought to check. My only complaint about this strap is the same that I've had for other tripod straps: the tripod head makes the tripod top-heavy when hung on my shoulder. Otherwise, the quality is great and B&H's price is the best around.

Comments about Giottos Deluxe Adjustable Shoulder Strap:
I needed a strap for my Manfrotto 055xprob tripod. The reviews for this strap said it would work with the Manfrotto system (it does), the price was great and I knew being a Giottos product that the quality would be excellent. I ordered it and have been extremely happy with the strap. Works likes a charm, easy to take on and off, comfortable to wear. This strap appears that it would fit many different tripod set ups (I also use it with my Slik U212 (minor creative modification at the head required) and my old Bogen 3001 (no modifications required). And though I do not own a Giottos tripod, I'm guessing it'll fit those too.
I highly recommend this strap to anyone looking for a tripod strap.

Comments about Giottos Deluxe Adjustable Shoulder Strap:
I actually bought this for use with my Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod even though the specifications say it's for Giottos.
It attaches quickly and with no problems and allows for a number of ways to carry the tripod, with the strap being an adjustable length. It provides a more convenient option than simply carrying the tripod in your hands or carrying a full tripod bag. It can be used with the tripod head on or off.
Construction is generally good. The clips and strap attachment at the top are metal, though the attachment at the bottom between the main strap and the loop strap looks to be plastic, which is an interesting choice. Finish is also good. Given it is really just a nylon strap though, pricing is perhaps a little steep, but I couldn't find anything comparable.
