Home > Consumer Reviews > Lowepro Speedster Camera Strap - Black

This strap has Lowe-pro quality but its not as long as I expected. If you are looking for a strap to wear across you chest you may want to keep looking. If a high end neck strap is what you need, this is it.

This is certainly a comfortable strap. It holds my Id Mk II and 100-400 just fine and doesn't creep down my shoulder. I would like to be able to extend it a bit further though. Sometimes you just want to sling the camera a bit further down.

I was thinking of an upgrade or accessory I could get for my new FZ-50 digital camera that was not expensive and worthwhile. I already got a Sigma UV filter and a nice Vanguard heavy duty camera bag when I chanced upon this camera strap from Lowepro. Like most camera manufacturers, the original camera strap for this camera from Panasonic seems a hindsight. It is short, flimsy and the quality I would say is devoid of durability. Enter the Speedster from Lowepro. At first glance, the strap is good-looking, like it was tailor-made for my camera. The material of the strap is durable both in feel and looks. The buckles are tight and not unless you press BOTH the release button on the side, your camera is tightly hooked and stays in place. The strap feels comfortable swung around your neck or shoulders. You can also adjust it to a length you would feel more at ease. Overall, it is a worthy upgrade from the original strap I had for my camera. I highly recommend this.

I'm happy with this strap: Good price, good looking and very comfortable even after hours of having my Nikon D40 hanging from my neck or shoulder,it won't slip, flexible and light (easy to fold into a small camera bag), way better than the Nikon supplied strap. Recommended.

I got this strap to replace the Digital EOS Canon strap that came with my kit. That strap made my neck sweat due to the rubber backing that covers it completely. I really like this strap from Lowepro. It's thin yet wide enough to be comfortable around your neck. I'm 5'10" and it's long enough to quickly throw over your neck and arm without getting hung up like those shorter straps. I like the quick release mechanisms and so far they have not failed me. However only one drawback and that is with the quick releases, they are a bit too bulky and can some times get in the way when you switch camera holds from landscape to portrait. I wish they were a little smaller. Other than that it met all my criteria.
