Strength:

Comfortable, ergonomic design
Can be used over the shoulder or across the chest
Camera rests in a natural position
No loud velcro closures
Faster on the draw than Billy the Kid

Weakness:

The phone pouch is too small for my Droid (so I use it for carrying a lens pen and a few other items)
The price is a bit scary, but worth every penny

Having always used the basic Tamrac camera straps and loving them, I was very apprehensive when I clicked the "purchase" button at the B4H check out screen. I mean, I went from paying less than $20 for a nice strap with padding, one that has been time tested and proven and the phrase "durable" is an understatement (I've never had one wear out in over 20+ years of use) to paying $65 bucks for a strap I've never heard of based on the review of a complete stranger. Was I nuts? As it turns out, I made the right choice. The RS-5 is awesome. The design allows the camera to rest in a very comfortable and natural manner. The strap can be adjusted to wear over the shoulder or across the chest for added security. And then there's my favorite part about this strap system.. When grabbing my camera body and raising it to shooting position the action is so smooth and fast. It makes me feel like a gun slinger from one of Louis Lamore's westerns. Just call me Hondo. ;)

There are other nice features to the strap as well. It is very comfortable and includes two zippered pouches and one "phone" pouch. There is no velcro on the strap at all. All closures are either zippered or magnetic.

I highly recommend giving this strap a try. I guarantee you won't regret it.
