The string connecting the camera to the strap broke the very first time I took it out into the water. I watched in horror as my camera quickly sank to the bottom. There were no rough waves or strong currents – I was swimming smoothly along the surface with the camera dangling from my wrist when the string just snapped. Everything was connected properly – the little string just broke right at the apex. I wish I’d tested it on dry land first.

With just a slight pull the connector immediately disconnects. Flexing the connector flanges does not fix the issue. I plan to find a way to connect the camera directly to the string…the connector would only ensure loss of your expensive new camera. Very disappointing, yet for seven dollars not worh the effort to return. Wish i had avoided this product.

I have had two of these float style wrist straps, the first being the Olympus brand, the second being the Zeikos brand. I sold the first camera with strap and all to upgrade, and made sure to get a strap with the 2nd. Having the choice i figured i would save a little money and opted for the less expensive model Zeikos offers rather then go back wit the Olympus one. It was fine at first, but once i started using it, and actually needed it to perform it quickly gave me nothing but headaches. First it was disconnecting on its own, being on the boat, its always in my pocket or sitting down the front of my coveralls, and often it seemed to disconnect at the slightest tension in the wrong direction. Even more so on a rough day out on the water it would always leave me looking and digging in my pockets rather then staying at arms reach. Second, the easy connector itself has now broken. The plastic is very cheaply made, ive seen better stuff on happy meal toys.. and with it broken now i dont feel as safe to take it on the boat anymore. which is wheres its needed most to do what i bought it for. I dont blame the seller, after all they are offering a cheap alternative to a more expensive product, i just wish i would of spent the extra money, rather then having to spend twice as much ordering two of them.

The quick release connector on this strap makes this floating strap useless. It is so flimsy, and comes apart so easily, that your camera could easily disconnect and sink to the bottom. After seeing how easily it pulled apart, I could not trust it while snorkeling in st. thomas VI last week, and wore the regular strap on my panasonic TS1 as a backup, as I just couldn’t trust it. This was a waste of money, and I will likely toss it in the trash. I will never trust it to hold any underwater camera worth several hundred dollars.

I purchased this floating strap to use with a Panasonic TS-1 underwater camera. I used the camera extensively while snorkeling in the Caribbean on a recent cruise.
There’s not much to say, other than the item works as advertised. I kept the strap around my right wrist when photographing and fortunately never was forced to use it to “actually” save the camera. I wanted a bit of piece of mind, so I allowed the camera to go untethered from my wrist. The floating strap easily kept the camera from sinking.
