When left unlocked, the camera can slowly move down the wearer’s side under the camera’s weight. When fitted and cinched correctly, the reviewer says the camera stays from swinging while walking and remains tucked behind the elbow. The SpeedCinch system uses a pulley design intended to provide easy access when the reviewer wants to take photographs.
The tripod-mount attachment includes a rubber pad that sits against the camera body when tightened. After six months, the reviewer noticed the strap’s bulky tripod-mount portion no longer fit some camera bags as well.

- When fitted and cinched correctly, the reviewer says the camera stays from swinging while walking and remains tucked behind the elbow.
