How is the compression on this model? Does the material itself provide support? Or, is the support totally reliant on the strap?

Compression is good. The support is reliant on the strap. These are expensive and wear out real quick in the heel. The stitching comes out and the material starts to fray and makes a big hole at the heel. I do like that it comes in the xsmall size.

The sock provides good compression support. The strap provides added support without hindering mobility. It's very comfortable to wear.

of course, depending on the size you get, it is a very snug fit. yes the material itself provides support; the strap feels extra supportive.

Deron's comment is right on. And the strap should easily support your weight.

I would say that it does. The material in that area would tend to compress the area and support it. My issue was more with my rotator cuff, but it supports the whole shoulder area pretty well. The neoprene allows for a good range of motion. I use it during martial arts training.

I have Mirage 15's on them. They are a little over 40 lbs and have no visible compression. I hope this helps.

No. No problem. The real support for the weight is the lower feet and the straps.

This is not an issue for me. I used the camera extensively on a recent trip overseas and never noticed a problem. In fact I wouldn't be without the strap.. I noticed if I used my smaller point & shoot hanging from my neck all day, its caused far more strain than using my DSLR.

No. That is a weak strap. You must have a pouch to keep you equipment.I hope help you guy.

Comfort is something that you can control. I keep mine breathable while im at work, bht when im working out at home i tighten it up when im running. pushups and situps. So there is not real suggestion on compression, just adjust it to your comfort and exercise. Im running a medium via the size chart too and it is a little snug as well.

Good that you asked, the one that comes with is a piece of junk and immediately broke. I got one of the true compression bags from Alps as a replacement and it works well.

I have not had that problem, nor has the guy who recommended it to me. I don't put it to aggressive use though. I love it, and its very comfortable to carry on your back while carrying other gear. Highly recommended for cost.

For my experience, is to -secure- the cushion-comfort to your shoulder. If you don't use it, the main strap can move around a little bit and may be annoying. Hope this helps.

I can't be sure but do know it's better than nothing. I almost think the compression may be too light.

I have 2 compression tubes on my knee strap. I have IT Band syndrome and it does help, but than my single one helps also.

I've not used the OP/Tech but I've hiked extensively with my R-Strap. It's comfortable, stays in place. Camera doesn't seem to bang against my body in any uncomfortable way.

I'm not sure why yours does that, my is quite comfortable. Other camera straps bother me after awhile, but I've walked around for hours using this one, using a medium sized camera.

It is not padded. Bout i think it is not compression either. Depending on your size and anatomy you might feel it a little strectch. But it looks great and shapes very well.

It fits like a glove have no problem with it so far and I've had it going on 3-4 years now and no issue with the strap. Hope this was helpful.
