I was expecting fairly average quality and performance when I placed the order for this camera strap from K&F Concept... even though I really enjoy this brand for a variety of products. As it turns out I was very surprised by not just my initial impressions, but by its performance after the past week of experimenting with it.

At first, I thought I would be put off by the old fashioned style of “quick” release that used to be so common before it was modernized to a small circle loop by a certain small company who’s appeal I would say has “peaked” some time ago. As it turns out, the locking mechanism on this strap puts my mind at greater ease and makes me feel more confident that my camera is secure and will not suddenly detach itself from the strap, which has happened to me before despite itself.

The padding is soft and relaxing and makes me feel a lot more comfortable than regular straps, particularly when out on a shoot for hours on end. Really excited to get more of these for all my cameras, and maybe in alternate colours as well if the brand decides to offer more than just black. It even comes with a connectable pouch for an extra battery or some memory cards. Fantastic and classy. 5 stars.
