I was at Gait Barrows this morning, one of many togs photographing the Lady's Slipper Orchids. One of the other togs, with some expensive kit (Canon 1dX, Canon 100mm Macro - I couldn't see which models, and Canon MT-24 Macro Twin Lite) had his shoulder strap fail on him, dropping his kit about 3 feet and smashing the Twin Lite controller. What had happened was the riveted part of the carabiner had come out of the hole in the sliding metal loop on the strap - either the hole was too big or the riveted head was too small. I asked what type of strap he had and it was this.
If you're a member on here and see this then I really feel for you, and I hope you have some joy contacting the manufacturer of the strap. I would also suggest contacting your local Trading Standards and see if they can do anything.
However, I have to question the wisdom of spending so much on kit and skimping on the one item stopping that kit from hitting the deck. False economy indeed.
