[QUOTE="dddwyer1981, post: 184785, member: 15867"] Just got my Luma Labs new Cinch strap in the mail over the weekend. I debated heavily between this and a couple of the BlackRapid options before deciding on the LL Cinch. Quality is excellent. Shipping was fast. Strap adjustments are easy, but I didn't have a chance to put it in to heavy action yet. From toying with it the clasp/buckle took a second to figure out before it became second nature. Maybe I can do a YouTube review on it, since there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on the Cinch out there. BlackRapid seems to monopolize the market on this type of strap. I guess part of me felt sorry for the guys in Oregon who got nailed with the patent deal. The comfort level of the padded area far surpasses that of the stock strap, and looks like it should be comfortable for a days worth of shooting. Most of my weekend stuff with the family is to the theme parks (yes, I live in the Orlando area) or to family gatherings, so I don't use the tripod much. I went for the Pod Mount so I could hook it up to the bottom of my 70-200mm. When I don't have the 70-200 on, I'm planning to use the tripod mount on bottom of the camera as my primary carry mechanism. Just note that it isn't a rapid change over from the mounting points, you have to re-lace the strap if you want to change from the lens to the bottom of the camera body. So this isn't the ideal solution if you're going to be changing lenses (big lenses that is) a lot during the day. However, you can use the stock strap locations, or go for one of the other mounting options that LL has to offer. I'll update this thread as I get a full day of shooting in with the new strap, and let you know how it performs. [/QUOTE]
