In spite of being warned numerous times that gangs and robbers had taken over the highways of Guatemala and I'd be sure to lose my equipment, I only met friendly, wonderful people who welcomed me into their houses to take photos. The Upstrap is very "grippy" but it depends on the weight of the camera to grip. So, if you lift the camera up, you can easily "shrug" it off of your shoulder to position it elsewhere. You have to be careful if you have long hair because it will grip your hair, too! I usually have mine under a Tilley, though ;-) Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
