Joby UltraFit Sling Camera Strap for Women

wow. This strap works really well. I have used this strap now for a few weeks and am totally converted to this style of camera carry. Carrying the camera across the shoulder and having it hanging to one side is so much more natural than having it dangling around your neck. I do a lot of wildlife photography and can happily carry my heavy 400mm lense for a few miles using this strap ( plus my backpack) and when the moment to capture something comes it literally takes a second tp grab the camera and shoot ( its kind of same movement as if you were drawing a gun cowboy style!) You can adjust the length of the strap easily by doing a kind of pulling movement as you lift the camera up ( bestsellers to watch a yt vid on it).NB I didnt realise that when it arrives the strap is 'locked' in place by a small plastic catch near the tripod fixing. You have to undo with a finger pull action the plastic lock to enable the strap to be adjustable. This lock is useful as when you have heavy lense on the lock stops the strap lengthening on its own when you are walking.I know other people have worried about the screw coming undone from the tripod fixture but I can't see that happening myself. Having said that I have bought the tether too as its not worth risking even if the chances of the strap coming undone is very remote. I also have attached the joby plate which means I can attach the camera to the tripod and not have to take the strap off. This works just fine and means I have a very good carry set up.

I had been looking out for a sling strap for and researched at length. I am a larger lady so needed to know the length and position would be comfortable. It is perfect. If you're female then get the female version as it adjusts to our curves on the padded front part of the strap.The build quality is spot on.I followed the YouTube product video to set up.Some advice was to get a safety strap which I bought but it is not necessary.The screw in mechanism is strong and I do check to be on the safe side before I go out.This ticks all the boxes. I no longer have neck ache and carry just my camera and a couple of nd filters plus tripod slung across opposite shoulder.It means I spend more time enjoying the landscape and making my photographs instead of being stressed and uncomfortable.

I really like this product. I read a lot of reviews before buying it and I was a bit worried that my very large bust would cause problems with this strap but I found it really comfortable to wear. I took it hiking around some pretty tough terrain in Utah and even when I was scrambling up or down near vertical sections my camera felt really safe and secure on my hip or lower back.Sometimes it was a bit stiff to move between short and long which sometimes meant I missed a shot, but over all its a great design - just prepare your back and chest for a really weird tan line! :)

First time I’d taken this strap out for a test run and all was going well. It was comfy and easy to use.Then on the way back to the car it somehow managed to detach itself from my camera and I watched in horror as £2,500 worth of camera and lens went bouncing across the floor.I’d made sure it was screwed on super tight (I’ve always been paranoid about such small screws holding expensive equipment - turns out I was right in my paranoia) and I’d been wearing it for 4 hours round a nature reserve at this point, before it decided to drop my camera.Not happy.

I had already got an over the shoulder strap by another manufacturer, however this one is by far the most comfortable. It is really easy to use, its slim line and discreet design suits a smaller body frame. It allows the camera to be fastened close to the body which eliminates the usual hazard of the camera bashing about as you walk. The UltraFit sling can be worn comfortably over either shoulder with no more aching necks as with a traditional camera strap.I have owned this camera strap for approx. 5 months and it still looks brand new. I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to buy an across the shoulder camera strap.

Very good well made product, although you do have to question the value for money as basically its a nylon strap which is slightly padded, for carrying a camera ! Having said that, it is cheaper and just as good as anything supplied from Black Rapid, whose prices really make your eyes water.

Purchased as a present for my wife. She is really pleased with it, finding it extremely comfortable to carry her DSLR with telephoto lens around all day long. She hasn't experienced any of the aching or rubbing on her neck which she experienced with the manufacturer's neck strap which was supplied with the camera.

I bought this as I hate wearing the usual DSLR camera straps that attach to the top of the camer at each side. I find that they always get in the way.This was a brilliant purchace! Great quality, comfortablt to wear and easily adjustable when on the move. Even though it's only attached with the one screw fitting it seems really secure.I definitely reccomended this for any photographer on the move. Might be a bit inconvenient if you use a tripod or monopod a lot as his obviously uses the fitting on the bottom of the camera.
