Sturdy
On the whole I'm please with this strap, so much easier than hanging your camera around your neck. It's probably just me, but it does slip a little and I have to pull it back up every so often, but one the whole good value for the money

very good for Nikon z6
got this for use with my Nikon z6. I love it. fully adjustable and comfortable to wear. I have used with my z6, with the additional battery pack and 600mm lens and works well. especially when walking around.

Comprehensive review - Quality, comfort, size, install, overall use + 6 month update
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.

Handy shoulder strap for you're camera with few drawbacks
Definitely works like it says in the description.Pros:1. Takes away pain away of taking you're camera out of the bag and you're ready to shoot all the time.2. Easy to connect and disconnect Camera from the strap but could have been better.3. If you've got a heavy telephoto lens it takes away the weight from your hand and hence you can carry on shooting longer.Cons:1. The strap itself has some weight( You will start realising it after few hours of carrying around)2. On part of the hook connects to the tripod thread and that blocks the battery compartment for my EOS R50.3. The strap is not compact for storage. When you fold it has a small hard pocket for storing SD cards, spare batteries etc.
