Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap
Customer Review: A Must Upgrade
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first bought an SLR it came with a very uncomfortable strap that was emblazoned with CANON EOS on it. Now, I don't mind some advertisement for Canon but overall, I prefer a more nondescript camera strap.
I quickly realized that there are tons of different camera straps out there but that there are very few options for the consumer. What I'm saying is that the straps available are significantly different from one another that you really can't compare easily between them: some are colorful, some are black, some are made of neoprene, some have quick release buckles, some have extra padding etc. I guess what I'm saying is that its hard to compare and contrast this strap to others.
For me, I was looking for a black strap that was comfortable, with some padding, and a quick connect on at least one side. I found this strap fit the mold nicely.
Here are some pros:
- its comfortable
- it has the quick release on both sides (they've never failed me)
- quick release are easy to release but don't get triggered accidentally (my experience lugging my camera through Hawaii to Turkey to all over the world over a few years)
- very easy to change the configuration from neck carry to shoulder carry
- the memory card pouch is FANTASTIC - makes it very easy to store and reach for your memory cards when you need them
- the strap has a slight pattern that helps make it grippy and prevent slippage from your shoulder
Here are some cons:
- After a while your neck can get sweaty (I imagine that's universal for all straps)
- I do worry that the clips will release accidentally, there is no safety catch or double action mechanism (I have wired one of mine with a twisty so I only have to worry about one side (the one I use most often). I do find the clips very easy to operate but I've never had a latch trigger accidentally and I've had this strap for years.
That's about it. I really like this strap but it could be made perfect if Lowepro put in a double action safety on the quick releases. Remember, if you're carrying two heavy cameras and are running somewhere regularly- it only takes one accidental unlatching to drop $5,000 in equipment (yikes!). I think that kind of an environment increases the likelihood of failure for this strap. On the other hand, if you're more of a scenery photographer like me strolling the jungles of Hawaii with a single camera and a compact telephoto, you might not be as at-risk from an accidental disconnect. If in doubt, twisty tie it but remember you're going to lose that aspect of versatility frorm the strap.
Description of Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap
The Transporter by Lowepro was designed for the professional or core enthusiast photographer who works with multiple cameras, binoculars or other photography equipment. The unique design includes a comfortable, non-slip shoulder pad that stays in place even when the strap is adjusted to a variety of lengths or swung completely out of the way while using another piece of equipment. A detachable memory card wallet provides quick access to cards while shooting. Two quick-release buckles make switching from one camera body to another fast and easy while double ladder-locks ensure a secure connection between the strap and the camera for maximum stabilization.All Accessories
