    Comments about Porta Brace HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap:

    if you are thinking of buying this strap to use with a big camera, i would not recommend it. it's meant to carry heavier loads and i did not find it comfortable on my shoulder

        Comments about Porta Brace HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap:

        I am using this strap for carrying my XL-H1 when not in the bag, and it much better than any other strap that I've tried.
        Upholstery and finish are very good, the weght is light, so everything is fine.

          Comments about Porta Brace HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap:

          The strap is of excellent quality but it's a case of not quite going far enough. The strap is their basic shoulder strap and comes with two little loop straps that you put through the normal camera strap holes on the camcorder.

          The clips are large, chunky things and a bit oversized for the job but I don't feel totally safe clipping them onto the litle 1/2" straps. It would be better to have designed some sort of metal clips or rings to use as the interface between strap and camera.

          Comments about Porta Brace HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap:

          I purchased a Sony HDV-Z5U. It did not come with a strap. This strap is comfortable and saved my camera's life last night at a blues concert. One time makes the strap invaluable.

          Comments about Porta Brace HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap:

          I have tried various and eventually managed to find Porta Brace's. In short: reliable, comfortable and, which is important for my taste, its design fits nice with my Sony HVR Z1.

          Comments about Porta Brace HB-12DV CAM Mini DV Camera Strap:

          I am using this strap with a HDV cam. The size of this strap is much larger than I anticipated, and easily dwarfs the size of my camcorder. This is mostly due to the ample padding, which makes it comfortable.

          However, due to the size of this strap, it will limit its utility for me.
