Link : Review > Custom SLR Glide Strap + C-Loop Combo
(Written by my friend and I, just copied my part here. Head on to the link above for more pictures and his say as well!)

First of all, alot of thanks to Custom SLR for making this all possible for us. Check their website out, Custom SLR. They have of course, the C-Loop , the Glide Strap and loads of other stuffs for sale.



Are you one of those people who thinks that the camera strap is in the way when you’re taking vertical pictures? Meet C-Loop. A neat little attachment that is attached to the tripod mount. What does it do? Instead of tying your favourite awesome camera strap onto the camera, you’re tying it to this aluminium which swivels. Afraid you might scratch the bottom of your camera? It comes with i’m-not-sure-what material washer, which is soft so it dampens when you screw it to your camera too tightly.

+ Eliminates funny dslr placing when you leave it hanging.
+ Swivel around, much more easier to maneuver around crowds.
+ No more awkward camera strap blocking whenever taking vertical shots.
+ Aluminium looks matte like, cool factor.
- Squeeky sound, probably still new.
- Whenever you need to use a monopod and tripod, you need to detach it. (Minor issue, cause Custom SLR is cooking something up to counter this!)



When there was a first digital still camera (Sony DSC-HX1) in the house, the strap was quickly replaced by a third party one. I’m never a big fan of the camera straps that comes with the camera, as I know it’s poorly made and it hurts like hell when you’re strapping it for a long time (Shooting non stop for an annual dinner with a Nikon D90, 18-105mm and Nikon SB-900). Seriously, I thought I’ll never need to replace my Crumpler’s Industry Disgrace. I even gone as far as to convince my friends that the Crumpler’s Industry Disgrace is the best ever! Well damnit, I can tell you I’m wrong. Super wrong. The Glide Strap is designed to make it easier for a user to pull the camera from the side like a rifle. It’s so much easier compared to the Industry Disgrace as the Glide Strap is really made and meant for that. What about the padding that rest on your shoulder/neck? It’s made of neoprene, a really thick layer and there’s a small cut in the middle to allow it to shift around to match your shoulder/neck and also acts as an ventilation. I’m lugging my Nikon D7000 around with the 18-105mm around for probably about hours and I can tell you, it’s comfortable, you barely feel it’s there and the best part is that it doesn’t really soak up your sweat. It’s properly padded yet ventilated strap!

+ Smooth rifle action for quick shots.
+ All the buckles that comes with it, solid as hell plastic material.
+ Neoprene padding, 6mm thick to cushion all the heavy gear.
+ Interchangable buckle, if you have more than 1 camera.
+ Silicone Logo printed on the inside of the neoprene padding to reduce any whoops or oops.
+ Stitching is amazing, been using for a week and more and there’s no loose threads.
+ Sweet combo with the C-Loop.
- I can’t find any yet, it’s probably the best strap for me now.
