Although the strap is made of sturdy enough fabric, I don't trust the closing mechanism. It's a loop through sliding closure and it only stays tight if there's weight pulling on it. When I lift my camera up to take a picture and then let it back down, it slides further and further down the strap. If you don't watch carefully, you camera will end up lying on the ground. I would never trust this strap for my camera! Thoroughly dissapointed!!!
