How well does this strap work when you are also carrying a backpack?

Put the strap on first then it works great, my camera hangs low below the bottom of my day packs. I clip my back pack chest strap under the camera strap.

I have never worn it with a backpack, so I'm really not qualified to answer the question.

Yes, I put my backpack in it with a bungee cord on top when I commute to work. Just make sure you secure the velcro strap or it will fall off!

Yes, both the shoulder and hip straps are adjustable via friction clips similar to what you find on most standard backpacks. (Just look at a school backpack) The padding does not move, but you would have to expand it pretty big to cause a problem. Something to note, the waist strap is just that. It isn't really loadbearing, it's just to keep it from flopping around.

Whenever I do something active like biking and some hiking, I would use the secondary strap. That kept the backpack in its place no matter how much I was moving. To pull it to the side and use my camera, I would have to remove the secondary strap otherwise the bag would stay in place.

It is not a clean fit but you can make it work. The bottom strap will work but the other straps will not. It worked fine I my long trip but it is a little cumbersome to get on and off. For the price is get it again.

The strap is sturdy, I got this for my dad last June and he uses it regularly with no problem.

With a heavy load it might become uncomfortable, I keep about 25 lbs (Almost 11 kg) worth of stuff in mine normally, that includes the 3L camelbak (Which weights about 8 lb's full). I can wear it a long time without issue. I'd say one of the reasons I got it was because if I needed something it's mega easy to access. I've not felt need to switch shoulders like with my old messenger bag. The strap is wide and padded a bit. But your hip shares the weight, not enough to be uncomfortable or to put your back at risk of pain or unnecessary stress.

I just tried it on as a back pack and it seems like it would work just fine. the waist strap buckled just fine and the shoulder straps felt good as well.

Mine is fairly comfortable as a neck strap, although I usually do not use it that way. I usually sling it over my shoulder (similar to a rifle strap). The rubber padding is soft enough that it conforms well to the shape of my shoulder and does not slip off. I like my strap a lot because I have large digital SLR that is a bit on the heavy side. I think it is a good bargain for the price. It's a good product.

I havent had any issues with it as long as you keep the straps nice and tight.

I never had a problem with the strap. It holds comfortably on my shoulders.

It honestly depends on your backpack. The band is very strong and does not let it move around at all. I put mine in my backpack if that is the only thing I need and I've never had a problem.

I wear often with my fstopgear backpacks. I have no problems using my blackrapid strap. I typically where it under my backpack. On some occasions you may need to adjust, meaning a quick slide, not a big deal, to make sure the retention underarm buckle isn't uncomfortable while wearing it under a pack. My blackrapids and fstop bags are like AMEX, I don't leave home without them.

I use my neck strap all the time and have never had a problem with it. I love it.

Probably but why take the chance? I do not like this strap at all. I have the feeling that it will slip off of my shoulder all of the time. I would look at other devices. The thought is great the execution is not so good.

I use it primarily on when I have minimum gear when I ride my motorcycle. The strap that goes underneath the arm is adjustable so you can tighten it or loosen as much as possible. I never had a problem with it slipping off my shoulder or moving while I rode on my bike.

No, it will move around a lot. the pack is designed for back carry, the extra strap is designed so the pack stays on your back and doesn't shift from side to side.
