Works best with the extension - not just for the size
I like this strap and use one for each of my cameras.However there are a few things you may want to know before deciding to purchase it:(+) It is very comfortable: wide and soft and slightly elastic which makes a big difference when carrying a heavy camera + grip + lens + flash.(+) It features an array of anti-slip rubber balls in the center, which I find not just efficient but even comfortable(~) Its shape is not symmetrical, being curved to match the neck. This means it is much less comfortable to hang my cameras around my neck upside down as I used to do so that the long lenses hang against my body instead of protruding. I considered attaching another female uni-loop to the battery grip to connect the strap between the top right and bottom right anchors but then the camera grips are not easily accessible.(-) It IS quite short. I am 6' and it is just a little tight for me wearing it around my neck. This would be a no-no if I had not replaced the attachment straps.(-) If you use the provided attachment straps, as soon as you disconnect the neck strap itself the camera has these two long straps dangling on either side. Some people like that you can attach one to the other and it provides sort of a handle. I for one find these long straps silly, especially since I like using the OP/TECH USA SLR Wrist Strap (Black) . More on that below.(-) It has a very prominent OP/TECH USA logo in white on black. It might not bother you but I usually avoid doing advertizement unless I am paid for it - I even have tape over the brand and model of my cameras so as not to attract undesired attention.As mentioned above, I replaced the straps that attach to the camera.I procured a pair of OP/TECH USA System Connector Uni Adaptor Loop - Regular which provide me with the following benefits:* Slightly longer - still I can pass both a shoulder and my neck through when carrying a small camera, and it is long enough to comfortably hang my main body around my neck (with long lens and flash as needed).* Can be disconnected very close to the camera body for transportation - no need to have the strap in the Pelican case, it is already full.* The wrist strap already mentioned attaches to the same uni-loop on the right of the camera* I attached the removed male attachment straps to the D rings of my camera harness ( Opteka MCH-25 Multi Camera Carrier Harness Holster System for DSLR Cameras ) to use as safety straps, attached to the left side of the camera.So here it is: each camera has two very short, unobtrusive connectors one on each side, which can be used to connect the neck strap this is all about or a wrist strap or the safety line when using a harness.This neck strap + uni-loops is also compatible with a shoulder strap extension ( OP/TECH USA System Connector Sling Strap Adaptor ) however I can't get myself to entrust the weight of but the lightest of my cameras to its plastic sliders.

Syfficient
It's comfortable once you get it attached to camera so the shoulder pad is positioned correctly. However, it is very, VERY short. I should have purchased the longer one, or simply stuck to what I KNOW is reliable and paid the difference.

Good, could be better
Sturdy, well-made, and quality material. I had two issues with it, though. 1. The neck cushion isn't shaped to the curve of a neck. 2. The loops that should attach it to my canon DSLR camera are way to thick to fit through canon's slit like metal anchors. So, I had to add clips to hook it on. Otherwise, a nice buy.

Good strap, not great.
I have had one of these straps on all my Canon cameras, a 40D, 5D II and a 1D IV. I use them to shoot weddings, college and pro sports, and some other events. The largest lens I'll tote is the 300 2.8, and that is usually on a monopod, rarely do I use it handheld. Largest handheld is a 70-200 2.8. I don't shoot nature, birds, family snaps, or things of that ilk.That's my frame of reference. I got these straps before the newer strap systems became available; the quick-draw styles, the sling attachment styles, etc etc. Some of these newer systems are slick and great to use, but they are very expensive for a bundle of nylon strap and D-rings.I'm not going to review the strap in detail, others have done that and in general it's a quality strap that is a huge upgrade from the factory strap on even the best DSLRs. For the person looking to make a step up either to improve comfort or handle a heavier rig, it'll do the trick. For the working professional, I have found that the best options (for value and performance) are available from the firearms community, one- and two-point rifle slings are comparable in price and allow for more modification to fit an individual's body. Sometimes they require a modification to work with the camera but that's a cinch. Hope it helps.

Quality product that will last for years.
This is my second strap in this model, very well made, comfortable, and should last for years. My first one lasted 12 years on three cameras and still going. A great line of products that I would recommend to anyone.

Very comfortable and flexible system, with caveat.
I have found the width (weight distribution) and ergonomic shape of this strap to be notably more comfortable than the "Super Classic Strap" by the same company. Unfortunately, unlike the "Super Classic Strap," the connectors that attach the Pro Loop Strap to the camera do not separate from the "extensions." So, when you want to put your camera on a tripod, or simply hold it in your hand without the strap, you still have two 12 inch straps flopping around after disconnecting the neck strap. (You can snap the ends together, but this is only marginally better.) The work around is to buy a separate set of extensions (OP/TECH USA 1301052) and connectors (OP/TECH USA 1301062 Uni-Loop - System). Odd that the company doesn't sell the padded portion of the strap separately so that you can mix and match this way, and save a little money, and space in your "useful in some parallel universe" junk drawer. Note: the width and denisty of the Uni-Loop connectors may not fit through some camera eyelets. I attached them to Panasonic and Sony bodies without much difficulty. Finally, I would add that I have complete confidence in the strengh and durability of this system.
