Compatible with ANY camera strap! Order here: http://customslr.com/products/c-loop/

Hey guys, we do another extreme test to show the strength of the camera tripod mount and how rugged the C-Loop really is. We demonstrate by pulling a Honda Ridgeline truck with over 1000lbs of concrete in the back with a normal camera strap attached to the C-Loop, to a camera that is tied off to the frame of the truck. See what happens!

  • @dudekaus - no one was pushing it. We will need to re-shoot it to show the entire length of the truck. In the meantime, we do have a second unconventional strength test called the "C-Loop - How to make a swing set with your SLR camera DIY style". Please feel free to email us if you have any other questions.

  • It is not the strap that I am concerned with, it is the battery grip and its threaded mount. Did you attach the c loop to the battery grip and perform the stress test? Thanks.

  • @01Dirtnapper - we just did a test of the battery grip for you :) Please see our latest video upload titled, "C-Loop - Camera Battery Grip Swing Test"

    Hope that clarifies things.

    Cheers!

  • Good demo, this was a question in my mind also about the mount. BUT, I am more concerned about the mount on the battery grip. As I look at grip, that mounting plate on the bottom only has 4 small screws, have you tried any stress test using a battery grip? I would like to get this for my next trip. Thanks.

  • Hi @01Dirtnapper - we tested the C-Loop on a 20D w/battery grip and lenses without any issues. For most setups under 15lbs (most straps are rated between 12-15lbs), everything should hold up just fine. For larger lenses it is recommended to use the tripod mount on the lens collar. Thank you for your interest.

  • was somebody pushing the truck (the reason the truck moved) instead of your pull. I don't buy it.

  • you were going down a hill
