Looks good but says it is specifically for Nikon 3200
Seriously - have often thought about one, but it does rely on using the tripod mount doesn't it? I would want to have the QR plate in place most of the time I think

If you read further down it does say suitable for all makes of DSLR.

It does use the tripod mount yeah but there is a screw thread on it so you could still use the QR plate, though it'd probably be a little unstable.
They have another listed that says its for the D800 a quid cheaper and comes with a usb card reader instead of the hand strap.

Sorry John - my comment was meant as joke! It was just there are several ads that say for Canon or Nikon when the accessory is not limited to a specific brand or camera!If you read further down it does say suitable for all makes of DSLR.

I've just tried it out on my redsnapper head and due to the L shape of the slings mounting bracket I could only get it to fit one way, not a problem though. Just measured my QR plate and at its longest its roughly 68.792mm. With it on it flex's a little more but its perfectly useable. Tested on my IIs with grip and 50mm sigma.

Just been out for some fresh air and walked about a mile with it and I'm happy with the way it fits, it hangs nicely to the side and is easy to get at. Shooting in portrait will require a knack though, but again I don't see it being a problem.
Would I recommend it? Yes! Hope this helps Mate

My K-7 should be more stable as I don't have the grip. Thanks for trying it out and the advice!Just measured my QR plate and at its longest its roughly 68.792mm. With it on it flex's a little more but its perfectly useable. Tested on my IIs with grip and 50mm sigma.

I used this solidly over the weekend, it did everything I wanted it to do. It felt nice and secure and was comfy enough to have on all day with no ill effects to my glass back
