As a woman you have always problems with the normal camera straps (grade with a little more bust size) Camera knocks at every step. I have therefore taken most of my camera in hand. Now with this strap that's all past. He is comfortable on the material. The camera hangs loosely at the side, but simply by pulling forward and once shutter open for immediate use. While hiking through rough terrain, I now have both hands free. Great addition to: Op / Tech SLR Wrist Strap. fits into the terminals from the long strap and you have the camera always good in your hand!
