Thanks for your thoughts. I'm a domke strap user; I'll take a look.
Goal with any strap for me:
* safety
* health--no repetetive strain injuries here
* keeping the gear handy
* comfort

Thanks for getting me thinking...

It's a great strap. But for me, it's not always convenient.

For example, when adding a flash to my camera, I really dislike it all hanging at my waist. I just doesn't feel right and I am somehow scared I'm smashing my flash into things more often than not..
But except such minor personal things, I can only agree with Daytona that it is a great strap which really deserves atleast some looking into or buying!

I'm a big Domke fan and have a number of their gripper straps, but the BR fills every one of your requirements.

Just have to pull the trigger on one and see.
