I'm VERY impressed with the quality and usefulness of the LONPAI Reversible Shoulder Strap with Pockets. The two-sided color combination works well with the orange option for greater visibility, and the black side coming in handy when you want to blend in with your surroundings.This strap is really thick, while being nice and comfortable to wear. The metal zipper heads of the hidden pockets are recessed themselves, which anti-theft deterrent effect that I've never seen on any other strap before.The strap can be extended from 46 to 53 inches in order to suit your needs, and the layered material is rainproof as well, in order to stand up during challenging conditions. It is well-made, and is strong enough to support the weight of just about any DSLR camera.I also like the fact that it can be used as a duffle bag strap, for guitars and so much more. So you'll be sure and find a use for it outside of the camera realm. I can see this really coming in handy when traveling, as you can hide cash or your valuables in its roomy pockets with no one being the wiser.This is my all-time favorite strap and I cannot recommend it highly enough. So drop whatever you're doing and pickup one (or more) of the LONPAI Reversible Shoulder Strap with Pockets. This is a 5-star product that I would absolutely buy again.

This is being used with a Canon rebel T7i. The one downside to this strap, and the reason for the four stars, is because there was no easy way to connect it to the camera. We ended up having to get a couple of small key rings to use as an intermediary between the camera and the strap. Would have been nice if some sort of ring had been included.Beyond that, the quality seems really good. It sits well over the shoulder. It's well padded, probably more than what we need for this particular camera. But we're getting ready to do some work with a larger lens, so figured the extra padding wouldn't hurt. I had missed the fact that it had zippered pockets on it, and I really like those. They're the perfect size to put extra batteries, memory, chips, credit cards, etc. Even though it's padded, it folds up easily when the camera is put into the bag for carrying from place to place. This is a good addition to our camera kit.The one item I'm not certain about, it has a number of gray straps on it. If this was for an older camera, I would assume that's where rolls of film would go. But these are too small for rolls of film, and that's irrelevant with modern digital cameras. It's webbing, and not elastic, so it's not the right size for pens. Maybe to clip something to them with a carabineer? I'm not certain what I'm going to use those gray straps for.

If you're a giraffe it's probably great, but for normal human beings, it's much too wide to fit comfortably around your neck. So, if you don't happen to be a giraffe, I'd avoid this strap.

Love this…helps to store my extra batteries and it doesn’t cut into my neck like my original strap for the Nikon P1000.

I've only used this for a few hour so far, on two different camera bodies, and I may buy one so each can have one. Here are the details, my assessment, and why you should get one if you have a heavy rig:You have a big camera, but you rarely use it, right? It's easier to just grab a kit lens and a light body, or even the phone, because lugging the big kit around is daunting? This might be exactly what you need to get back to your good glass, and get those creative juices flowing!I have a few very heavy camera setups - one is my RB67 (a notoriously heavy camera once loaded up with a 90mm lens, but worth if for the large negs) and a D610 which i use a heavy Tokina tele lens on. Both are so heavy I honestly don't use them enough, which is the reason this strap was a tempting prospect!The strap itself is extremely well padded, and wide, which is a double edged-sword - heavy gear is no issue because of that, but it's also a little cumbersome if you're not expecting that much bulk. They DO mention it in the description, so they're aware it's a chunky strap.It has zippered pockets either side, both of which have little pockets within them, at least one of which fits ID's and credit cards. The zippers have a handy little feature, where the pulls have be pushed into little pockets at the ends, making them somewhat pickpocket proof too - VERY handy! I'm not entirely sure what the bandolier-style loops on each side are for though, as they're too big for pens, and too small for film canisters (if that's your thing). I'm going with 4 stars simply for the extra bulk those add for little purpose in my case - perhaps I'm missing a use-case...?In-use: The strap has a good range of lengths, meaning I can use it either as a shorter strap for the RB67 (brings the focus screen close enough to use) or a longer one for an SLR, where maneuverability is more important. The padding makes light work of even the RB, meaning I'm going to get more use out of that camera again - a nice and unexpected bonus. The hardware seems to be good quality, clips securely, and has no sharp edges to damage anything - overall very good stuff.Stitching and general finish look to be very good indeed. No loose stitches or ends, fabric cut well and symmetrically. I have no doubt the claims of being able to support a 176lb person are true - this is one solid strap!Bottom line - a solid and comfortable strap for heavy cameras. I wouldn't use it for a normal SLR, mirrorless or compact camera, where it'd be overkill, but for heavy glass it's a fabulous addition to my gear bag, and one likely to get a lot of use from me.
