I tested the original strap with zoom and after one day my neck have begun on strike. This alternative strap is just the must, the case is fixed by the clamp tripod, secured by a carabiner locked, there is no risk of falling. The case rests on the hip and "pulls" very quickly to seize the moment. The shoulder has a handy little zippered pocket to house the spare battery or the next photo card. But not necessarily given a relief for neck and finished the free advertising for the box manufacturer (and the indication of the purchase price to the risk of attracting lust)
