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.

 camera strap September 19, 2008
Camera strap is comfortable, and able to carry extra memory cards.
Recieved my order even before the scheduled date.
Definitely would recommend this product.
very good replacement August 8, 2008
I didn't really have any complaints with the original Canon strap on my camera, aside from the rough edges that seemed to dig into my neck and/or shoulders if I was carrying it for more than a few minutes (plus I didn't want a huge "CANON" logo on me, may as well pin a big "rob me, please" sign on there too!).
I wasn't really in the market for a new strap but noticed this in a store and thought "why not". The pad, though much smaller than the original Canon strap, slides to accommodate different positions and is much softer. I wore this camera for hours on end when I was on vacation and it didn't wear me down or cause me pain. Only issue is that the grip texture takes up very little area on the pad, which means it doesn't hold onto your shoulder so well if you're carrying it by your side.
The fasteners/buckles are a great touch. If/when you don't need the strap, you can detach it and just go full handheld. Great for pick-up/put-down situations where you want it easy to get at, but the strap would hang in the way or get caught on stuff (in my case, helping my family with home remodeling).
Finally, the little pocket that is velcroed to the strap is very handy. I have a backup CF card and a lens cloth folded up in it. This makes it so you don't even have to clutter your pockets with camera gear.
Camera straps are almost like clothing, so everyone is going to have their preferences. If you have a chance, go to a store and check it out. I would recommend this strap for people who plan on traveling or just being out with their camera for extended periods of time. In this price range straps don't get much better.
 The ring broke after 2 months usage June 23, 2008
I am disappointed with the product. I use it on Canon 40D for 1 month, around 3-4 times a week and one of the ring broke (the one that connected to the camera).
The straps has little pockets that store 2 extra Compact Flash cards,
when I am in shooting in portrait orientation, this container often annoy me by blocking my view.
The shoulder strap is fine and better than Canon strap that I get.
Nice strap, but attachment to camera gets in the way June 23, 2008
The idea of a detachable strap is great, but in LowePro's Transporter design, the quick release and buckles on the camera attachment are too big, stiff and bulky, even for a pro camera body. They were always in the way of the controls and the LCD on the camer. They also impaired holding the camera -- I was fighting the dongles all the time. It was a relief to get this thing off the camera. It's OK as a secondary strap for a large lens or a medium camera case, where is is not on the camera itself.
The detachable memory card carrier is a throw-away; there are better places to stow a card, where you don't have to rip your way through a rat nest of Velcro to get to it. The slip-resistant silkscreen pattern on the shoulder pad is rather ineffective -- needs to be tackier. In sum: a good concept, poor execution; needs a serious rework.
Good replacement for standard straps May 20, 2008

This strap is very comfortable and adjusts to a greater carying length than the cheap one which comes with your SLR. Its benefit is particularly felt when carrying a larger telephoto zoom for a while. The card storage envelope is a nice touch and does not get in the way when raising the camera for a shot. The quick release clips may come in handy when switching camera bodies in the field - though you will have to buy a second strap for this. Manufacturing quality is in keeping with Lowe's high standard for rugged nylon gear.
