turned up today, wasnt expectations were low for £14.99 delivered but WOW what a great product..

mine came with 2 or the carabina(sp?) clips, the one left of the picture was the one with the strap and clearly the older version and the one to the right is the newer version..

strap seems very good quality as good as other camera strap, the screws and plate again seem excellent for the money and I can see myself trusting the strap..

the 'octopus' rubber is awesome, I know want this on every strap I use, it looks like it might be uncomfortable but nothing could be further from the truth, soft, spongy and really comfortable..

I think its a £14.99 camera equipment bargain..

Humm... interestingly there is no way that the end of the tape will pass through the buckle on my Q Strap due to it being folded over several times and sewn. I suppose that good for security, but not so good if the crab needs changing.

However I do like the idea of the octopus rubber, to stop the strap sliding about as that is the one niggle I have with mine.

I feel the need to shop :clap:
 
How does this sit on your body and how do you secure it to the camera?
 
Just thought I'd add my comments to this thread. I bought my Q strap about 6 months ago but mine did not come with the Octopus rubber :(

The L plate has been very secure but the little washer keeping the screw in place fell off so when I take the screw out, it detaches from the plate. A bit annoying if you need to swap bodies or lenses. In the end I bought some Black Rapid fasteners for all my bodies & lenses anyway so the L plate is now spare.

Despite punishing the strap a fair bit with pulling at it quite hard and especially at the caribiner, it has shown no sign of breaking. I've even purposely tried to bend the L plate with quite a lot of force and it's held up well.

I've used it regularly for both personal use and professional and it has been great. My friend has a Black Rapid and compared to the BR, there really is little difference between the two. Given the price difference I'd go with the Q strap any day. In fact I just bought another for my sister in law for her birthday and it arrived the next day.

Aww, Octupus rubber!!

I may have to upgrade as mine does slide about a bit.
 
The octupus rubber seems a great addition. Might just upgrade mine.
 
i've only just bought mine and have no octopus rubber on mine:bang:

the slipping is one of my small bugbears with it, but value for money is very good comparing it to others
 
David, I am interested in buying one of these Quick Straps, may I ask where you purchased your one?
