    Im not hanging 5k worth of lightbox and glass off a plastic clip. R-Straps been there done that, and has much better execution too.

    Luma Loop, making pickpockets lives easier since 2009.

    Mil Spec AR-15 weapon sling. Please note the "untrustworthy" plastic connectors...

    There are many kinds of plastic.

    Wow... that thing has nothing on the R-strap, costs more, clearly ripped the idea off (even down to the promo footage of the guy using it) and fails the most obvious test - would you trust your camera to a plastic clip and some paracord or a locking metal gate and the tripod lug?

    $60?? I now have more than enough info to make this for about $2. Less if I use some old straps and connectors I have lying around.
    It's a good idea. I have been using a neck strap and a single point of connection like in the video for a while now. I made it myself, works great. I can detach the camera in seconds and still have a wrist strap just in case.

    Something about carrying it on the side like that just seems risky. Given how much people tend to bump into you on the side.

    Seems cool. I'm not a photographer so don't know the real benefit to it. But I kind of think instead of the backpack style clips. They should use something else like maybe a caribeaner (totally spelled wrong.) The plastic clips seem to easy to pop off. Just a thought. 60$ does seem like quite a bit for that little strap though.

    Ahhh, the awkward man-boob splitting strap. But yeah this is hardly new, or worth while for the price.

    I don't think I'd rely thousands of dollars worth of camera and glass to hang from a standard "clip" like that. Especially with a big canon L series telephoto that in turn leaves your camera and lens weighing close to 6lbs. Yeah... use a caribiner or something, but one of those plastic aligator clip things... Nooooooo way jose.

    @Adam Spano: I don't know, I've had clips like that being the clasp for messenger bags that I usually carried more weight than that in. I think they're probably OK for this use.

    I've been using the R-Strap from www.blackrapid.com for months now. Been super happy with it and it uses a metal connection point between the camera and the strap. Not sure about the plastic clip.

    @Matt Winer: The R-Strap looks WAY better than the Luma Loop with its damn plastic clip. You want me to hang $4,500 worth of stuff on a plastic clip that disconnects? Pass.

    awesome awesome idea - but $60 is just way to expensive for a strap. drop it to $30 and maybe we'll talk...

    @dadachum: I could probably make the same thing for $10 with a much better strap. That being said, I like the idea, even if I'm not that serious a photographer.

    If you already spent $1,300 or more on your DSLR, eh, why the heck not.
