The strap is designed to protect my underwater camera before idiosyncratic dive. Therefore, ordered, made ran and if my camera is now in the water slips from your hands, I have at least they still secured to the wrist. Since my little additional expenditure is really worth the money, better than an expensive camera in the water to lose. The band is pretty thin but still very safe. It keeps well without problems larger weights. I am very happy, a real Hama :-)
