Can't expect much from a $19 strap. I've been using Black Rapid products for years - even carry my 150-600 with a D810 and battery grip - over 9 lbs - no issues at all. The BR has a locking carabiner that is very secure. There's a reason they cost $60 - $80. Hell, the part that screws into the camera costs $20 just by itself. Now they may be overpriced, but 6 yrs without a mishap has to count for something.

I have one and love it. If you were using it without the supplied safety teather on a $3000.00 camera, then I would say, your bad.

I think I have that same Altua Camera strap, "Rapid Fire", your description sounds like mine too. I think the correct name, but I have used it quite consistently and as yet had no negative issues arise. I was sorry to hear about your bad experience. I will need to be alert when I am using my Altura Strap.
