Product Description
The Transporter was designed for the professional or core enthusiast photographer who works with multiple cameras, binoculars or other photography equipment. The unique design includes a comfortable, non-slip shoulder pad that stays in place even when the strap is adjusted to a variety of lengths or swung completely out of the way while using another piece of equipment. A detachable memory card wallet provides quick access to cards while shooting. Two quick-release buckles make switching from one camera body to another fast and easy while double ladder-locks ensure a secure connection between the strap and the camera for maximum stabilization.

 Comfortable, Handy Features January 20, 2010
Preston S. Page (St. Louis, MO USA)
I own two bags and a back pack from LowePro and I can't say in hindsite that I'd buy them again. They are sturdy, but don't make efficient use of space. However, I've been using the Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap with a Nikon D700 for a year and have not experienced problems with the security of the quick release buckles. I use the feature quite a bit, yet the snap buckles hold firm for me. In fact, I have found the strap to be to be very comfortable and durable. The small CF card pouch is very handy and I have no concerns about it falling off.
Nice strap July 10, 2009

I feel this strap is well made with one exception: The side release buckles induces a fear of inadvertently opening. This is easily solved by using the twist ties that come with the packaging to secure the buckles. This at least affords a little peace of mind. Otherwise it is nicely made, looks good, is very strong (except at the release buckles) and is quite comfortable. It seems to me to be a good value. I am happy with it so far.
Nice sturdy strap, with slight disadvantages.. June 18, 2009

Okay, first the pros:
Sturdy
Shoulder pad has a "tack" to prevent slipping off shoulder
Soft feel around neck (not stiff)
media pouch for SD cards
quick disconnect latches
longer than standard strap that my camera shipped with (nice since I am tall)
Now the cons:
rings instead of cloth ends attach to camera, over time wear off finish?
quick disconnect latches, not enough strength, too easy to disconnect
I would buy this strap over again, if I had the chance. It's solid, great craftmanship, media pouch is great, and disconnect problem is easily remedied by tossing a couple tip ties in the loops. You are defeating the purpose of the quick disconnect, but if you are weary of dropping your expensive equipment, this might give you piece of mind.
 Lowepro Strap for DSLR February 19, 2009
Nicolas D. Gyma (New Jersey)
This strap is much better than the one that came with my pentax DSLR camera as it is longer, more comfortable and has great adjustability. What I did not like about is the quick release mechanism and the stiffness of the strap at the binding posts of the camera. The quick release makes me nervous about accidentally dropping the camera. The stiff material used on the strap that attaches to the posts on the camera makes it akward to move the camera around. It causes the strap to get in the way of you being able to get your eye in the viewfinder and to place it back in your case.
A Must Upgrade February 19, 2009

When I first bought an SLR it came with a very uncomfortable strap that was emblazoned with CANON EOS on it. Now, I don't mind some advertisement for Canon but overall, I prefer a more nondescript camera strap.
I quickly realized that there are tons of different camera straps out there but that there are very few options for the consumer. What I'm saying is that the straps available are significantly different from one another that you really can't compare easily between them: some are colorful, some are black, some are made of neoprene, some have quick release buckles, some have extra padding etc. I guess what I'm saying is that its hard to compare and contrast this strap to others.
For me, I was looking for a black strap that was comfortable, with some padding, and a quick connect on at least one side. I found this strap fit the mold nicely.
Here are some pros:
- its comfortable
- it has the quick release on both sides (they've never failed me)
- quick release are easy to release but don't get triggered accidentally (my experience lugging my camera through Hawaii to Turkey to all over the world over a few years)
- very easy to change the configuration from neck carry to shoulder carry
- the memory card pouch is FANTASTIC - makes it very easy to store and reach for your memory cards when you need them
- the strap has a slight pattern that helps make it grippy and prevent slippage from your shoulder
Here are some cons:
- After a while your neck can get sweaty (I imagine that's universal for all straps)
- I do worry that the clips will release accidentally, there is no safety catch or double action mechanism (I have wired one of mine with a twisty so I only have to worry about one side (the one I use most often). I do find the clips very easy to operate but I've never had a latch trigger accidentally and I've had this strap for years.
That's about it. I really like this strap but it could be made perfect if Lowepro put in a double action safety on the quick releases. Remember, if you're carrying two heavy cameras and are running somewhere regularly- it only takes one accidental unlatching to drop $5,000 in equipment (yikes!). I think that kind of an environment increases the likelihood of failure for this strap. On the other hand, if you're more of a scenery photographer like me strolling the jungles of Hawaii with a single camera and a compact telephoto, you might not be as at-risk from an accidental disconnect. If in doubt, twisty tie it but remember you're going to lose that aspect of versatility frorm the strap.
