Average customer review:Product Description
The Transporter by Lowepro 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.

Major Design Problem, Be Aware!!!
This camera strap has a major design problem: there's no security lock for the side release buckles. The side release buckles are designed to allow quick interchangeability with other camera using the same strap. However, the two buckles are too easily releasable and there's no security lock to keep the strap and the camera from seperation. I have used the strap for a week, and one of the buckle got released by itself twice. I had only one camera. Luckily, I didn't drop my camera but I would never use this strap again.
Redesign would help
While I am a big fan of LowePro quality, I was rather disappointed when I learned that the "quick release" clasps give way with the smallest amount of pressure. The strap is great but I currently have yarn connecting the two pieces of the quick release buckle so that it doesn't accidentally open and drop thousands of dollars worth of equipment. A different quick release (maybe like Kata's bullclip style) would be much more secure for regular use and still just as interchangeable. I don't recommend purchasing this product unless you have a plan for working around the quick release buckle.
comfortable, sleek but has adjustment limitations
This is a nice comfortable strap and not too bulky. Easily fits in my bag. The memory card wallet is nice, but I don't use it. It can be removed easily. It is well constructed and all the stitching is sturdy.
My only complaint is the strap is too long, and can't be shortened very much because of the position of the shoulder pad. The sliding buckle that shortens the strap does not fit under the pad so you can only adjust about 3-4" shorter. I like to change the length depending on use, but can't with this one. It's a minor annoyance but not enough for me to want to change straps.
