It has been said that the harness moves around on the strap and never stays in place. That may have been the case when they first came out with this product but since then this harness has been sewn to the strap to keep it from slipping.
As for the screw coming loose, the one attached to where the tripod goes I find the BEST way, for me at least, is to affix the metal plate so that when you are carrying the camera at your side this plate is oriented in line with the strap (straight up and down). When I say in-line I mean that the plate is pointing upwards in the same direction were it meets the hook.
I find the strap to be a very comfortable fit and it is adustable to suit one's height. I am 5'5" and it works fine for me.
As for the equipment I have. I carry a Sony A7RII with a Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM lens. I find that the strap holds up rather nicely to it with no problems whatsoever. The plate could be attached to the tripod; however, it is somewhat cumbersome when hooking the camera up to a tripod unless you remove the strap first.
When it comes to the safety strap I hook it to the camera itself rather than hooking it to the plate. That's just my preference just in case the screw on the plate does come off or the screw holding the the hook to the strap breaks this way the body of my camera will catch the camera keeping it from falling to the ground. It will work if you hook the safety strap to the plate itself but I feel safer hooking it to the camera body since I feel that, that is more trustworthy. My kit only came with one tether safety strap.
As for the zipper compartment I find that a plus because with my camera I have to carry several back up batteries with me because Sony A7RII is not known for its battery life and rather than carry them in my pocket the strap makes a nice place for this. Also, because I have this zipper compartment I find that I do not need to carry a camera bag around with me since I keep the camera slug over my shoulder throughout all the time I am or am not taking photos.
For the price you can't go wrong with this camera strap setup. I'm sure it has some flaws but I have yet to find anything that is terribly wrong for the price. In time I'm sure things will start going bump in the night but that is the same with anything you buy. If you want something to last considerably longer then you're going to pay for it but for the price of this strap it is worth taking the chance on it and, in my case, it has worked out thus far.
One last thing. I find this strap my better than the sony strap that came with the camera. It not only makes taking picutres more enjoyable but feel more comfortable when carrying your camera/lens around all day taking pictures. I LOVE THIS STRAP. Like some of the others I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you.

A life saver!
I can be clumsy at times and this was not going to be another incident of mine. I was very scared to drop my camera and I wanted something that would help me out a lot and this became my best friend! It’s very simple to put together as well!
