I have a couple of neoprene stretchy camera straps, and I'm wondering whether they are good to use with a heavy DSLR, with a long lens and even maybe a battery grip. Are they more comfortable than a canvas strap with or without a pad, and can I trust them to carry the weight, both fabric-wise and stitching-wise.
N, welcome to the Hog.
I use these CPS neoprene straps on all my cameras.
I hang a Canon 1Dx with a 200mm f1.8 from it(about 10 lbs.) and have never had a problem. I use two cameras at the same time. One with a shortened strap and one with a long strap so they don't bump and I do that while I ride my mountain bike up and down hills and have never had a problem. Your mileage may vary!!!
