Pac safe CarrySafe 100 Anti Theft Camera Strap

I bought this strap for my Nikon D5100 and am very pleased with it indeed. I was worried about it being too heavy, but its weight seems absolutely fine to me. It is a bit stiffer than an ordinary strap, but I soon got used to it. The stiffness isn't a problem when using it, but it makes it a bit awkward when packing the camera in a bag - it's easy enough to coil up though.What I particularly like about it are the thin neoprene sleeves which cover the metal clips, thus rendering them less prone to tampering but also prevent the metal parts from damaging the camera. The underside of the padded section is covered with a high-friction 'rubber' material that really is superbly non-slip.I especially like the way the strap slides freely through the padded section, so that when the camera is slung around my neck camera movements don't result in any tugging the back of my neck. This makes wearing the strap around my neck, or over my shoulder, very comfortable. The camera feels nice and secure when the strap is slung over my shoulder.This product is both very functional and of high quality - excellent value for money. I can recommend it most highly. I have been so impressed by it that I have ordered a similar Pacsafe CarrySafe 300 Lockable Shoulder Strap for my Lowepro Stealth D100 AW Shoulder Bag For Digital SLR & 1-2 Lenses for Canon 450D, 1000D,500D, Nikon D3000, D5000,D90, Sony Alpha DLSR Range and Panasonic G1 Series - Black.

Bought this strap after reading many reviews and before an upcoming trip to a place notorious for pick-pocketing and street crime. I like the fact that the strap is inconspicuous (no branding advertising my camera make/model) and the sense of security the cables reinforcing the strap. The neck pad is very comfortable, much more than the original Nikon strap, and also makes the camera feel much lighter around my neck. The neck pad also stays in place, whilst allowing the strap to travel freely through it. The strap is slightly stiff due, but does not affect taking pictures in either portrait or landscape orientation. Overall, the CarrySafe 100 is excellent value for money, I would definitely buy it again and recommend it to a friend.It would have deserved 5 stars if it could improve on the following:The main strap attaches to the camera via a secure clasp (which locks into place) to a smaller nylon strap (which attaches to the camera). This smaller nylon strap has an integrated plastic ring/attachment at the end with a small keyring attached, and the clasp of the main strap attaches to this small keyring. The plastic ring appears to be good quality, but I am uncomfortable attaching my camera and lens to this potential kink in the armor. A workaround is to bypass the plastic ring and attach the small keyring directly to the nylon strap.Better yet, the strap is long enough to be used as a shoulder sling strap, and would have been perfect as such if it was designed to attach via the standard tripod screw at the bottom of the camera, especially when carrying around a heavy pro camera with prime lens. Nonetheless, the strap is versatile enough for me to come up with a suitable solution, and at only a 1/4 of the the price of a Joby Pro or Black Rapid, the Pacsafe CarrySafe 100 is a no-brainer for anyone looking for secure, comfortable and non-slip neck strap.

I bought this camera strap with a view to it being more secure than the original that came with our Canon EOS 600D. It certainly seems to be well constructed and I feel much safer with it on the camera although it hasn't been put to the ultimate test and I hope it won't be! A big bonus, for me, is that its much more comfortable than the original strap. I have long hair and found that the original would catch on my hair because of the rubber which was meant to stop it slipping. This strap doesn't slip around, but it uses a different construction which means its not always catching on my hair. The strap is also slightly narrower which I again find more comfortable. I'm very happy with the strap and would have paid a lot more for it given how comfortable and secure it is!

Seems a good sturdy carry strap, I like the padded bit at the neck which should make it reasonably comfortable to wear unlike my current sony strap which doesn't have one. Haven't actually used it yet as I got it to use on holiday when I want the additional security. Good product at a reasonable price which I would be happy to recommend. Dispatched and delivered very quickly.

I've now used this on 2 different cameras (A Panasonic DMC-FZ45 and Nikon D5100), so here are my thoughts after a few months of good use on both.The build quality of this strap is great and has a reassuring thickness to it, without feeling too heavy or overly bulky. As others have said it's not as flexible as a stock strap, so packing it into a bag isn't as easy, though not impossible, just a little creative coiling is needed. And unlike a stock strap there's no obvious branding, unlike my 2 stock straps that scream "LUMIX"!!! and "NIKON"!!! to the world. The neoprene sleeves are good, covering the exposed metal clips and thinner nylon connectors well, but they add a little bulk. Being closest to the camera body these tend to get in the way of the camera the most, but you get used to them after a while.One thing I like about this strap (besides the security aspect) is the ability to adjust the length from short (to wear on one shoulder or over the neck) to really long (to wear over the shoulder like a sling). The free-moving padded section is soft with a grippy rubber underside, which doesn't slip when wearing on one shoulder. It could have been a little wider to help spread the weight of heavier camera setups but that probably would have just made the strap really bulky. It also sometimes ends up sliding down to my back when worn as a sling as I bring the camera up to my eye and bring it back down to my side, but that's really a minor annoyance.When using it on my Panasonic I connected the nylon connectors with the included chrome split rings, as the slots for the strap were just too narrow (the nylon connectors are approximately 13mm wide and 2mm thick). On my Nikon I tried the split rings but abandoned that idea after less than a day when I noticed that the weight of the camera caused some flaking of the rings as they rubbed against the strap holes (the rings are actually copper underneath). DSLR and fine metal flakes = an absolute No-No! The connectors are just a tiny bit snug on the D5100 strap holes and the nylon has started to wear slightly on the edges. However they are so dense and well made that I don't feel like they'll rip apart or wear down completely, at least with normal everyday use.The reassurance this strap gives you is great. It feels good with a small bridge/superzoom camera, and also quite secure when carrying a weightier mid-range DSLR. Okay, so if someone _really_ wants your camera and they threaten you with a knife then this strap won't help, but that's not the point. Maybe you're distracted for a second, maybe you're in a crowded area being jostled about. This would stop a would-be thief cutting through your strap from behind you, or an opportunist from easily unclipping a cheaper exposed plastic buckled strap. It does its job as a strap and deterrant and does it well.

Bought this for my trip to Morocco, but after a lifetime of neoprene straps it was a bit much to get used to. It does what it says on the tin, but you're certainly not going to forget it's there. Better padding is a must.

Good strap & obviously strong. Had to adapt the attaching end loops as they are too wide for a Canon DSRL. Used a set of key ring loops to oversome the problem.

This worked well for me - good length, comfortable, gave me some reassurance when I'm sat in a bar that my camera was locked down to something solid and wasn't going to vanish if I took my eye off it. All for the good and, except for one minor niggle, would be worth a 4* review.However, that niggle's a biggie; having been using it for about 18 months, on this New Year's Eve just gone the shaft on one of the catches randomly sheared, causing one end of the strap and the camera body to suddenly part company. Somewhat less than ideal, that. Fortunately this occurred at the sober end of the evening and I caught the camera before it hit the floor. Just. As a consequence, though, I'm clearly in the market for a new strap. And I'll not be getting one of these again - I don't trust myself to be that lucky twice! Also, if the connectors can fatigue and just shear off as it apparently can, I can't help but wonder how secure, exactly, the strap itself actually is? Hmmm. Perhaps, now the strap is basically useless, I'll take a knife to it and find out...

Die Lieferung war pünktlich, der Gurt war sorgfältig verpackt und hatte eine verständliche Bedienungsanleitung dabei, (die man eigentlich nicht braucht). Die Verarbeitung gefällt mir sehr, sie macht einen stabilen und sicheren Eindruck. Seine Handhabung ist wirklich kinderleicht, dank der 2 Schnellverschlüsse (einer auf jeder Seite) lässt sich der Gurt auch schnell entfernen, wen man ihn gerade nicht braucht, die Größenverstellung geht einfach und das Schulterpolster lässt sich beliebig verschieben, dazu ist es angenehm weich so das man sich auch eine schwerere Kamera, längere zeit umhängen kann ohne Druckstelen zu bekommen.Was aber manchmal ein wenig störend ist, ist das der Gurt durch das Drahtseil etwas unflexibel ist und sich somit nicht einfach mal eben samt Kamera in eine kleine enge Kameratasche stecken lässt, was ich jetzt nicht wirklich schlimm finde, da er seinen Zweck sehr zu meiner Freude erfüllt.Somit lässt sich auch meine D810 an bedenklichen Orten sicher tragen.

In A NutshellFull disclosure - I'm a huge PacSafe fan - I have bought several products from them. I find their products to be high quality and well thought out. This product is no different.This camera strap is reinforced to prevent it from being slashed or easily taken. You can also easily take one side of the strap and loop it to a chair or other fixture. This strap is particularly great if you are travelling or in a sketchy area.The Good Parts* Strap pad prevents the strap from digging into your skin* Priced about right* Well thought out design* Very well made* SlashproofCould Be Better* The shoulder strap pad is not easily replaced. It doesn't come off.* Some people might find the simple black design boring

Une sangle antivol très solide et très bien conçue. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les "tubes" en néoprène, coulissant sur la sangle, qui permettent d'isoler les boucles inconfortables, ainsi que le rembourrage du renfort de cou.

I've just returned from a three week trip in Egypt. I started out with just one of these straps to switch between my shoulder bag and my camera as needed. Both uses went without a hitch. I needed this for my camera because its original equipment strap lost its retainer loop during the trip, and if timing had been worse, my camera would have dropped and hit the concrete. No device is going to slip from this strap. It was secure and comfortable with both my two pound camera and my 20 pound day bag. The length is adjustable and I had to shorten the strap for a comfortable ride. The attachment clips are easy to deal with and I appreciate the lock feature, which is easy to use. The connections don't rattle against the camera. Now I own two of these; one for my camera and one for my gear bag. They remove the worry that crooks in touristy places will successfully cut a strap and make off with my gear. Over the years, I've been amazed at how skillful thieves can be when it's their profession to take your gear and money. This strap adds security. Not enough to guarantee perfect safety, but enough to add a sense of security.

Muy buena correa para camara fotografica, transmite seguridad. Dado que su flexibilidad esta condicionada por los cables de seguridad, no resulta practica para guardar la camara con correa dentro de la bolsa fotografica.
