I also note the force applied to the camera base by these straps is in

away.

A "bad" (and useful, practical and convenient) practice is to carry a
tripod with the camera and lens attached. Been doing that for over 20
years. In that case the camera body and lens weight are all through the
tripod socket.

I'm betting this guy pranged his camera on something and he isn't
telling .

Ya think!!


That would be hard to do without denting the camera.
