This is the first product review on my new site :). Vadim from Lens Loops sent me a few samples of their cool new designed camera strap.

INTRO

Lens Loops is an American start up company, their first product is a camera strap using car seatbelt webbing. It has a retro look to it and comes in several different colours and an XL version.

DESCRIPTION

• Made from high quality automotive seat-belt webbing, 5.1 cm (2 inchs) wide
• Camera Connector designed to prevent accidental disconnects.
• No seams, folds, or hardware on the inside surface to get snagged on clothing.
• There is no bulky shoulder pad to slide out of position or get in your way.
• Hardware made from top-quality steel, with attractive, industrial-grade finishes.
• Rolls up compactly for storage in a camera bag.
•  XL version is 45.7 cm (18 inches) longer than the standard version.

At first I wondered how comfortable it would be, with no padding and only seatbelt canvas. The good news is the width of the strap distributes the cameras weight nicely (even with a vertical grip and large lens). It feels secure and stable when you wear it.

SUMMARY

• Lens Loop camera slings take the weight of a camera off of the photographer’s neck and rest it on his shoulder.
• The camera is kept safe and out of the way at hip level when not in use, and slides effortlessly to ready to take a shot.
• A standard Strap cost $35.00(US) and XL strap costs $45.00
• Extra camera connectors cost $8.75(US)
• Only really good for any one shooting with 1 camera
• Extremely comfortable and easy pack in your camera bag.
• Available in a variety of colours
• Does not twist like other camera straps
• Easy to adjust.

If I was only shooting with one camera I would stick with this strap. I looks different and is comfortable. Maybe they will work or a 2 camera harness ….
