Waka Rapid Camera Neck Strap with Quick Release and Safety Tether, Adjustable Shoulder Sling Strap for Nikon Canon Sony Olympus DSLR - Black

Easy to read instructions and works as it should. Nice size and comfortable. Frees my hands up to do other things. Great thing to have when you do photography

I’ve purchased quite a few of these for my photography business and they are used in the field daily. They definitely last a long time even with daily use in all kinds of weather. Almost as nice as the high-end models. Pros: Quick Release System: The quick release feature is great. It allows for rapid attachment and detachment, making it super convenient when I need to take it off of the strap. Safety Tether: This gives me peace of mind, knowing that my equipment is secure. The tether is strong and reliable, preventing accidental drops. Comfortable Wear: The strap is padded and comfortable around one’s shoulder, even during long shoots. No more neck strain from heavy gear! Adjustable Length: I love the flexibility of adjusting the strap length. Works for all sizes of photographers. Durable Material: The strap feels sturdy and well-made. It's survived daily outdoor shoots, and they’ve never broken on me. Very comfortable: It's great around the shoulder instead of on the neck. The connection to the bottom of the camera is handy and keeps it in the perfect position. Cons: Style Factor: While functional, the design is pretty basic. If you're into fashionable camera straps, this might not be your cup of tea. Buckle Placement: Occasionally, the buckle can rub against the neck, which might be uncomfortable for some. Overall Experience: Despite a couple of minor drawbacks, the waka Rapid Camera Strap is a great accessory for my team. Definitely a 5-star recommendation for both amateur and professional photographers!

I recently purchased the quick release shoulder camera strap, and overall, it has proven to be a reliable accessory for my photography needs. The quick release feature is handy, allowing me to swiftly switch between handheld shooting and using a tripod. The strap itself is comfortable, providing adequate support during extended periods of use. The adjustable length is a plus, catering to different body sizes and preferences. The material used is durable, giving me confidence in its longevity. While the quick release function works well, I found that the mechanism could be a bit smoother. There were instances where it required a bit more effort than expected to detach the camera. A slight improvement in this area would enhance the overall user experience. Despite this minor concern, the strap meets its primary purpose effectively. It's a practical addition to my camera gear, and the build quality assures me of its durability. With a few tweaks, it could easily be a 5-star product. Nonetheless, it's a solid choice for photographers seeking a reliable and cost effective shoulder strap with quick release functionality. Four stars for its overall performance.

I'm not a professional photographer. I don't make my living using an expensive camera. I am a guy who recently got his first DSLR and is just learning to use it. This is the perspective from which you should know where this review comes from. But the incredible amount of thought that went into this camera strap keeps impressing me. There's just so many features and little details that make this thing so handy, useful, and trustworthy (so far). - The shoulder padding is very plush. I feel I would need much more weight then my camera and lens to be close to uncomfortable. - It attaches to your camera via the tripod mount, using a Steel plate, thick (stiff) rubber pad, and plastic locking washers. The screw is even in a slot so you can adjust how the mount makes contact to your camera. Yes, this means it has a single point of failure between the camera and the thing holding it from freefalling onto pavement, but the mount is so strong in my opinion, I can't imagine it failing on its own. If it bothers you, there's another extra strap you can use to connect your camera strap mount to the shoulder strap itself for safety and to stop your camera from swaying around too much. - The sling design allows your right hand to be inches away from the camera at all times. This makes it so easy to have the camera up and ready for a shot. It slides up the strap so smoothly and slides back down to your waist so your hands are immediately free again. -The strap length is adjustable; it adjusts to your proper length on the back of the strap, while the front has a quick length adjuster you just grab and pull. That way if you're moving around alot, you can just pull it to reel in the camera closer. little impressive bonuses: - Almost every connecting piece is metal. The only plastic used is the buckles between the strap and the shoulder pad, but they are buckles similar to those used on backpacks. Except they're also locking. - The shoulder pad has a zipper pocket for sd cards and maybe a battery - There's an adjustable clip to keep the camera from sliding too far down the strap Usually I just use amazon reviews to point out flaws or complaints I have with products, but I have no cons or complaints to share. Just was genuinely impressed to get such a feature rich product for $16 on amazon. The only reason's I can think anyone might not want this is if they HAVE to have a neck strap for some reason. But the features are so nice, the strap is well made with good materials, and the price is good. I am not sponsored or paid to say any of this. Honestly, it's just a good strap.

Decent quality and easy to use.. highly recommended

I've been using this strap for about 18 months to carry first my Nikon D7500 with Tamron 150-600mm lens and then my Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 150-600 mm lens. They're heavy, so I appreciate being able to carry them with a cross-body strap. One irritating issue I've had from the beginning is that the adjuster doesn't stay where you put it. It slides, so the strap gets longer the longer you wear it. I have to constantly readjust it so the camera doesn't hang too low. Not that big a deal since I've been dealing with it for so long. But now the snap hook that attaches to the metal plate is wearing down. First the o-ring on the metal plate split and fell off, leaving the edges of the hole in the metal plate to rub against the hook. Not only does it make an irritating noise when they rub together (which is a problem when you're a wildlife photographer), but you can see in the photo it is actually gouging the metal of the clip. It's already worn through half the thickness of the clip. A few more months and it will probably wear completely through. I guess for the price, 18 months of use isn't bad, but I'd still prefer something that holds up better.

The Waka Rapid Camera Neck Strap is an excellent choice if you want an affordable, comfortable, secure, and easy-to-use strap. It combines a robust construction with a practical design—ideal for photo outings, travel, or long sessions where comfort and security are paramount.

Comfortable, and holds my selected DSLR securely for the day with a heavy 200-500.

Il prodotto a mio avviso è destinato all’uso di fotocamere di peso complessivo importante (es.: FF, zoom, ...) perché scarica sulla spalla il peso che solitamente è a carico del collo. Se non ci si è abituati potrebbe risultare scomoda la tracolla ma io mi trovo benissimo e l’uso della fotocamera è pressoché immediato grazie allo scorrimento lungo la fascia

Used this on my Nikon camera with Tamron 150 600mm lens all over Africa. It dispersed the weight very well. I did keep one hand on the camera so it doesn't bounce from my hip when I was walking but I do recommend. I did have the camera come loose from the connection once as explained by other users but the secondary connection (safety tether) prevented the camera from falling. I just checked the mount screw on the camera mount more often with no other issues. This is fair better than the neck strap.

Sin duda alguna mucho mejor la mejor corra qué he comprado la calidad de los materiales es insuperable por este costo y buena seguridad sin duda la volvería a comprar

航空祭用に購入しました。 とても使いやすいです。 1つ難点は、肩パッドがゴアゴアしていることかな

I wanted this for use with a largish (for a mirrorless) Olympus EM1X and 300mm Pro lense - I'm into wildlife photography which involves a lot of walking through woods etc.. having the camera out of the way.. but easily accessible is useful. I've been struggling with an existing leather strap, the heavy lens is always weighs the camera down at an odd angle, feels horrible worn around my neck.. uncomfortable weight to have to the front of you and it doesn't stay in place dangling off one shoulder. If I put the old leather strap across my chest diagonally I have to pull the whole strap around to bring the camera up to eye level which doesn’t work well. The Waka Strap #Quality - At first view the waka looks good. The strapping itself and the clips look strong, the plate attached to the camera is metal (long metal screw and hard plastic thumb turn tightener) The ring clip from the strap to the plate looks pretty robust and has a scissor type action that only opens when there is no camera weight on the clip, meaning it’s unlikely to be knocked undone by accident. The plastic push clips on the harness also need to be squeezed and have a button depressed simultaneously to open, which removes the chance that they’ll be opened by mistake. I installed the fail safe cord, it doesn't seem to get in the way at all and does hold the camera ok in case the ring clip fails. Overall the setup feels safe. I can't comment on durability yet but I often come back and edit my reviews.. so no news here is good news! #Comfort - Great! - this is quite a revelation after all the messing about I've done with other straps. the bottom of the camera is a very logical attachment point for a camera with a heavy lens.. and it hangs well with the lense pointing downwards, top controls facing out so not likely to be knocked on/off etc. I found that while I’m walking to get somewhere it’s more comfortable to shorten the harness, once I’m walking slowly and taking shots I lengthen it out a bit - I’ve also worn it under my backpack straps and it still feels comfortable and slides up and down for shots ok. I’ve actually used the spare D ring at the front of the shoulder pad to hang a fairly light pair of binoculars on two clips, (op/tech) I just pop open one of the clips when I use them. #Size - I'm 6 ft and I'm able to adjust the strap length to the point where the camera is ideal ie. just level with my belt... I can also make it longer and shorter . my estimate is that it would be fine for people 5ft through to 6’5 due to the amount of adjustment available. Adjustment is via a slider so just one quick pull on a D ring once you've got the strap on gets the camera sitting where you want it. #Ease of install - Simple - I did it in about 2 minutes.. didn't need instructions - it's very evident how it needs to work just looking at the pictures on Amazon. Instructions are in the box if needed #Overall use - A few months of weekly use and I can’t visualise going back to any other type of strap. I make a point of inspecting the connector ring and making sure the thumb screw is tightly done up every time I put the strap on, if you make that a habit it will help spot any odd wear etc in advance of it causing a problem.. and there's always the fail safe cord as backup. The camera slides up easily on the strap when I want to use it and hangs back in place after.. very comfortable! ** Update.. Thought I’d update my review as this has been an important piece of kit for me and made quite a bit of difference to comfort while I’m out, after over 6 months of very frequent use the silver grommet in the base plate does wear.. its bearing the load and movement so it’s almost bound to.. rather than try and get a new one through the supplier I found that 1/4” grommets were only £7 for 100 on Amazon, ordered a box.. came with a punch in the box.. (see inc. photo) 30 second job to put a new grommet in and good to go for another 6 months ..the only other tool you need is a hammer! # Quick note re small lenses.. while I find the strap perfect with a longer heavy lens a small lens like my 17mm or 75mm doesn’t weight the camera into a lens down position .. so not quite as well positioned on the strap.. but still for me it’s preferable to a strap around my neck.
