waka Neoprene, 8 cm wide, 53-80 cm, 5-10 kg

Eight centimetres of neoprene with a zipped pocket, adjusting 53 to 80 cm, on a quarter-inch plate with a safety tether — 19 €.

Wear style
SLING, across one shoulder — the third arrangement on this shelf beside neck and shoulder straps. A sling lets the camera ride at the hip and be raised to the eye in one movement, which is why it needs a plate rather than lugs
Attachment method
The most thorough on this shelf: a METAL QUICK-RELEASE PLATE screwed into the camera’s own QUARTER-INCH TRIPOD THREAD, with a stainless steel lock, a protective NON-SLIP RUBBER PAD on the plate so it neither slips nor scratches, and — separately — A SAFETY TETHER to catch the camera if the main joint lets go. Three independent measures, in the first bullet
Declared load
5 to 10 kg, in the third bullet, published as a RANGE rather than a single figure. A range is the more honest form: it says the comfortable load and the maximum are different things
Adjustment range
53 to 80 cm — 20.8 to 31.5 inches — in the third bullet, with a sliding clip that must be pushed into its locking slot afterwards. Both ends of the range are published, which two straps on this shelf fail to do
Width and padding
8 cm WIDE, ergonomically shaped to sit on the shoulder, in NEOPRENE — softer, breathable and less inclined to slip than a woven strap. Eight centimetres is nearly nine times the 9 mm cord of the 18 € VKO here, and that is the whole difference in how a heavy lens feels
Material
NEOPRENE, in the second bullet — the wetsuit material: it stretches slightly under load, which takes the shock out of a camera bouncing at the hip, and it breathes where leather and nylon do not
Quick-release provision
YES, by the plate itself — and the safety tether is the acknowledgement that a quick-release is also a joint that can open

  • Eight centimetres of neoprene with a zipped pocket on the pad
  • A quarter-inch plate with a non-slip pad AND a separate safety tether
  • The plate occupies the tripod thread, so a tripod plate cannot be fitted at the same time

Best for: A reflex with a mid-weight zoom carried at the hip for hours, where a pocket on the shoulder saves opening the bag.

On the listing

Five bullets. Safe and secure — an extra safety band protecting an expensive DSLR from an accidental drop, with a robust stainless steel lock and a metal quick-release plate fixing the camera to the strap, the plate carrying a protective non-slip rubber pad against slipping and scratching; light and comfortable, in neoprene, softer, breathable, comfortable to wear and not inclined to slip, with an 8 cm wide ergonomically shaped shoulder pad and a zipped pocket on the shoulder for spare batteries, lens caps, memory cards and other small items, named for hiking, travel and outdoor photography; adjustable length freely set from 20.8 to 31.5 inches — 53 to 80 cm — with a maximum permitted weight of 5-10 kg and a note to push the sliding clip into the locking slot after adjusting; universal compatibility with all DSLR cameras having a standard quarter-inch tripod thread, followed by a long list of Canon, Nikon and Sony bodies; and an offer of customer service within 24 hours.

Eight centimetres, in neoprene

Nearly nine times the 9 mm cord on this shelf. Neoprene stretches under load, so a camera bouncing at the hip pushes rather than jolts.

A plate, a rubber pad, and a tether

Three measures for one joint. The tether exists because a quick-release is also something that can open.

Fifty-three to eighty centimetres

Both ends published, and a warning to lock the slider afterwards — which is the failure this design actually has.

A pocket on the shoulder

Batteries, caps, cards. On a walk it saves taking the bag off, which is the difference between carrying spares and leaving them behind.

What the quarter-inch thread costs

The tripod wants the same socket. A sling and a tripod plate compete unless one passes through, and this page does not claim that.
