Is this strap VERY stable or not? I worry it may detache from camera - would like to use it underwater

Underwater, I don't know but on land should be fine if you are not jumping around and shake it off and depending on how heavy your camera.

There is a base plate that screws onto the bottom of the camera that is pretty secure. It is similar to the attachment you see on a scope or tripod. The connector between the base plate and the strap itself is metal and not plastic. I do make sure I keep the screw tight when I'm moving around a lots. I have not had any problems at all with it. It all works well with my shoulder harness for my binoculars as it fits over/under that harness nicely.

It is a reliable robust strap. Just rinse it like the rest of your equipment when you leave the water.

Depends on what you mean by "stable." The base plate is attached via tripod screw and is held on only by friction (there's nothing to prevent the screw from backing out). This is the case with a lot of straps these days and it depends on your own risk tolerance whether you are willing to take the risk. I find it ok for terrestrial use myself, but I would not trust anything that relies on friction alone underwater.I personally do not use the included baseplate. I bought one of the BlackRapid knockoffs that is better quality.Having said that, this is NOT designed for underwater use and might rust (I don't know what the metal is). All in all, I would not use this underwater. Depends on what you mean by "stable."

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

I didn't use the strap and have had mine for almost 3 years. I haven't had any issues.

In my opinion, the strap is pretty sturdy. My computer weighs a lot more than my husbands and I have no problem at all maneuvering it around. I hope that helps!

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

Yes. But be careful to thread it the right way, because I didn't at first and the camera fell right off. Thankfully it wasn't broken, and I fixed the strap, and I haven't had a problem since!

the strap is a basic velcro strap. Other parts no sure. I dont see it breaking from normal use.

I used it with my Nikon which is similar in weight comparing to other waterproof cameras it perfectly floatted very strong support and cushion. You should not have a problem.

Yes it holds well. Actually why I bought it was to get the quick releases in order to get the strap off when I shoot 360 panoramas and my Canon 5D Mk III is on a panohead. I did let a shoemaker cut the leather off and sew the releases into the Canon %D Mk III strap.

No, otherwise it is a great strap. It is easy to take off the strap when mounting it on a tripod. Very secure, comfortable in both hand held and around the neck. Though I prefer the hand held because of neck issues.

it is the most secure strap you can ever own. I have put on all my cameras and have never had any problems with it. Love that you can unhook the neck strap which folds to put in your bag, I would and do recommend this strap to everyone. I have a Nikon D7000 with a 55-200mm & a 300mm lens no problems.

There is no way to cinch this strap to your wrist. It does not slip off while in the water. You can pull strap higher on your arm for a more snug fit. It WILL float if does slip off your wrist.

I haven't used it underwater, but it is plastic. The only thing I would think is its accuracy in that situation for white balancing your shots or video. That would require some testing.

It doesn't have a hook if that's what you mean. it winds through like other straps. I use my my camera often, and have had this strap for quite a while without issue of it falling off. I like that I can adjust it long so the camera can go onto my back if I'm climbing up somewhere for a shot, and it is secure.

As I recall, the tether is on the camera. It is pretty light weight. That said...I've never really used it and don't feel that I need it. I have done some pretty rough off-road motorcycling with this camera and mount and never had any problems with the camera coming loose.

I used it while scuba diving and it was fine. Water will of course get in and it needs to be rinsed after use in salt water especially. Stability with a GoPro was fine under water. On land it might start to rotate after a while but if that happens you can slightly press the pole so it will become oval and then it won't rotate anymore. I recommend it.
