has anyone bought one of the rapid strap knock offs?

example ^^

Reason I ask is I've seen a few knock offs in Asia last summer and now they have hit the states..

I'm sure the strap itself is good enough for a camera.. but not sure about the attachments and the clips!

Bought it... love it... been using mine for just over a month... holds my gripped 7D with either 24-70 or 70-200 f/2.8 IS with no problems.... I have no complaints

So you have one of these fasteners??

Is it a canon grip or an after market? I have a zeikos grip and am hesitant to get a Rapid Strap or knockoff with it.

I have a zeikos grip on my mk2 and I've hung it from the grip with 70-200 2.8 IS and heavier lenses.. it holds fine.. I've been doing this for almost a year now and I carry my camera ALOT.

Yep... just bought an extra one in fact.... one for the body.... one for lenses...

Zeikos grip.... it holds just fine...

The hook is the weakest link of this strap. My camera and flash fell to the floor due to the lock broke on first day of use. I since replaced the hook with this and it is a stealth now.
