With the camera hanging at your hip doesn't it have a tendency to bang into things? For instance, walking thru doors, around people, etc. Thanks.

Depends on how it's balanced. For example, I run a Nikon D3S with a 70-200mm VR II sometimes. If you use the tripod anchor on the camera, it's awful, but if you use the mount on the lens, it's great. You can adjust the height up or down to find a comfortable position on your body. You can play with the location on your body too (Front vs back vs side, etc). You'll find something that works well for you, I think.

I suppose that would depend on the person. I've never had this problem but understand the concern. But any strap would have this same issue, it just might be bumping into things from the front instead of the sides.

Keep in mind that the primary reason for this product is to alleviate back and neck strain vs the camera hanging around your neck. You still have to be aware of your surroundings as it does have a tendency to swing. I have found that if you carry bigger lenses like a 400mm it does not move around as much as when you have a 70-200mm lens on the camera.If you are looking for a way to immobilize your camera you might want to look into a spider holster. It locks the camera at your waist and is like a belt you wear. It will make the lens point straight down. Again you have to be aware of your surroundings. Hope this helps.

that's a no brainer. Shorten the strip should reduce the "risk", while still not much compromise your access to camera.

You have to be very careful when you use the Black Rapid RS-7 Camera Strap because it does have a tendency to bang into things. such as door ways and people. I found the best way to use the camera strap --- hold the camera when you're walking and let it hands down when you stationary.

here is the camera I use with this, Sony HDR-CX260V. when moving around it seems like its putting some strain on mount, its not completely smooth movements. This mount is really design for really light objects.

It has something you can screw with your fingers. Frankly, one of the very few down sides to this tripod. After shooting for a while the plate has a tendency of loosening. I would have rather preferred a plate that you can screw in with a screw driver.

ehh... It does flex a some but not enough to bother me. If it's an issue, the little rubber cap that covers the connection to the camera can be stuffed into a small sup out on the grip. That takes up some of the gap/wiggle room. I shoot mine off sticks most of the time so 1 degree of flex is correctable in the tripod or lightroom for that matter.

its pretty good with keeping the camera in the case. yu have to move the case around to get the camera out. so its not an easy out. :)

The camera does tilt on an axis , it can move a little bit to get you in the shot . Nothing to point at the ceiling or floor .

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

Sometimes in low light it seems to be too long. It depends on the setting and if the lighting is appropriate for the setting you choose. There is a high speed burst feature that lets you take high speed single photos, like a movie only freeze frame that is really fast. Overall, I'd say once you are familiar with the settings and features its pretty quick. It does take some playing with it to get used to all the options.

We've taken some great pictures with this camera. It is not always consistent though. I do like the camera.

Yes,but the camera is not all it's claimed to be.I wish I would have taken the time to send it back.They make it sound like a good old look,click,and shoot.....not,can be complicated

I own two of these, and there is a hook on one of the legs. I noticed it yesterday when I took the tripod out to film.

I am having to think about reposition my fingers when I turn the camera on. Your natural grip has you hold the camera where the pop up flash is when you turn the camera on. I have had mixed results with the flash. On some shots it looks fantastic and seems to compensate exposure for nicely lit shots. Other times it is pretty typical of single source on-camera flash. I'm still getting use to the camera but would have liked direct access to the flash controls.

not a common problem, the camera shoots higher than 30 FPS which would be standard to capture motion in video. Camera is great with a great price.

Like most digital cameras there is a distinct pause between pushing the shutter button and the picture being taken. So you may not get the exact picture you were hoping for. Other than that it works fine for this.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Because the case is actually a sleeve, the camera hangs just as it would without the case, with the lens angled away from your body. Your workaround to place the camera in backwards is perfectly fine. I carry the camera when in the sleeve over the neck and left shoulder so the camera rests on my left hip. When I need to take a photo I find it comfortable to lift the camera with my left hand leaving the strap positioned as it is, and taking the picture.

With the heavy DSLR I tend to protect the camera by keeping a hand on it - it's just too risky to let it hang. It's comfortable, and I haven't had any issues with breakage, etc. The connection to the tripod screw is good and the metal is heavy. Honestly, I put my camera into my backpack until I think I'll need it. A heavy DSLR just looks expensive.

I have not had a problem with this but I can see where there might be a problem if you are moving rapidly around but I have not experienced this just walking around. But I also usually keep a hand on my camera when it is hanging from the strap.(just one of my tics I guess). I totally love this strap and the easy of use that it allows me when I am taking pictures.
