The Carabiner SNAPPED on the 2nd day of use
I got this strap as my birthday present on 3/17/2013. I was so excited about it because it seemed like it's exactly what I needed--dual camera straps so they never cross each other during my wedding assignments. I used it once last week. Everything was fine. I really liked how it distributed the weight of the two 5D bodies with the lenses on. It was a lot more comfortable than using two Black Rapid straps separately. THEN THE NIGHTMARE HAPPENED TODAY (3/26/2013)! In the middle of a pregnancy shoot at my client's home, the carabiner hook BROKE (see posted picture on Amazon from me). My 5D mark III + my brand new 24-70mm f/2.8 mark II lens + Pocket Wizard TT5 just fell on the floor. My heart almost stopped. I wasn't even doing anything with any impact at the time. All I did was bending down lower, and I heard this big thump! My pocket wizard has a broken hot shoe for sure. I don't know the extent of my lens or camera damage. It makes me sick to think that I just risked $6000 worth of equipment on this piece of crappy product! I don't know if I can sleep tonight. The feeling of sudden lightness on my shoulder and a big thump always makes me scared to death.
