Has anyone used one of these? Can you attest to the quality?

I'm shooting a 3day steam punk and retro-futuristic convention this weekend, and want to dress my camera up a little more appropriately than my smugmug pro strap :) This will match the weathered look my Domke bag has - but I don't want it to fall apart on me - it'll be holding a gripped 7D with 70-200 f4.

I'm shooting for the weathered, vintage look - so if anyone has other suggestions, I'd welcome them too!

I don't have it but I really like it. Too bad it's from Korea. The last thing I ordered directly from there took 2 months for me to get it.

I've ordered from that vendor and it didn't take too long but you can forget about having it in time for a convention this weekend. It took a week or two for my order to arrive.

One of the things I ordered was a Matin strap that is nylon and the quality seems decent. Materials and stitching are good and I have no worries that it's going to fall apart or anything like that.

Thanks Ken - I gave up on getting something for the weekend due to the snow storms introducing delays - there was a vendor in NY who had what I wanted in stock - but to rush deliver it, I'd be looking at something like $150 for a camera strap - no thanks.
