Anyone have experience with these? I heard about them on the local news and was wondering how many swear by them.

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | May 05, 2011 16:19 | #8 Love my R-straps! The only problem comes when you want to swap between strap and tripod; they currently have a good solution for Manfrotto RC2 systems but not for any of the Arca Swiss compatible systems... - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

You wont regret it honestly. At first my only worry was my fear of the camera falling out of the tripod mount but if you mount it securely, that will never happen. I'm a happy Canon SLR and Leica rangefinder user.
