<summary>Question: How strong is the Maglink shoulder strap?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Static load capacity up to 60kg / 132lbs** — dramatically over-engineered for any prosumer camera setup. Handles Sony A1 + 70-200 GM (~2.5kg), Canon R5 + 100-400 (~3kg), Hasselblad X2D + lens (~1.5kg), or a binocular + spotting scope combo all without strain. The **18-strand climbing-grade braided rope** is the same construction class used in rock-climbing safety rope.

<summary>Question: How does the magnetic quick-detach work?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Female buckle aligns magnetically and snaps in 1 second** — hold the camera near the strap end, the magnet pulls the buckle into place, click. Detach by pressing the safety latch + pull. So you can take the camera off the strap (to put on a tripod / pass to someone / set down) without unhooking from your body. The strap stays around your shoulder, the camera comes off.

<summary>Question: What's V2 improvement over V1?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **3-layer rope construction with safety warning core.** When the outer rope layer wears down, a **yellow inner core becomes visible** — a built-in wear indicator that says "replace soon" before a critical failure. Other improvements: scratch-resistant buckle material (ABS+PC), upgraded magnet strength, refined leather pad comfort.

<summary>Question: Will it fit my camera — are strap holes required?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Yes — your camera needs built-in shoulder strap loops** (the standard metal eyelets on the camera body). Most mirrorless and DSLR bodies have these. If your camera lacks strap loops (e.g., some compact cameras / cinema bodies), pair with the **F38 QR Buckle Kit for Shoulder Strap** to attach via a tripod-thread adapter.

<summary>Question: How comfortable for long shoots?</summary>
<div>
Answer: The **full-grain leather shoulder pad** distributes weight across your shoulder — noticeably more comfortable than thin nylon webbing. The 19.5mm strap width (with leather padding at the shoulder contact point) keeps pressure off your collarbone during long event / wedding / travel shoots. Length adjusts via 2 quick-pull adjusters for sling / neck / shoulder configurations.

<summary>Question: Classic V2 vs Lite V2 ($29.99) — which to pick?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Classic V2 ($46.99, this one)** — premium 18-strand rope + full-grain leather pad + 60kg load. **Lite V2 ($29.99)** — budget version, simpler rope construction, lighter leather, slightly lower load rating. Pick Classic if you carry pro full-frame bodies + heavy zooms or do all-day events. Pick Lite for everyday mirrorless + small prime use.

<summary>Question: Colors — Gray vs Black — functional difference?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **None functionally** — same rope, same buckle, same load capacity. Gray (M00B5103) has gray/tan leather, Black (M00B5103D) is all-black. Pick on aesthetic preference / what matches your camera body's finish. Both $46.99.

<summary>Question: How does it compare to Peak Design Slide or BlackRapid Curve?</summary>
<div>
Answer: **Peak Design Slide** ($65-75) — webbing + Anchor Link QR, 90kg load, no magnetic feature. **BlackRapid Curve** ($60-80) — sling-only design, FastenR screw, no quick-detach. **Falcam Maglink Classic V2** ($46.99) — magnetic quick-detach + 60kg load + rope/leather construction + sling/neck/shoulder conversion. Maglink wins on detach speed (1-second magnet vs hand-operated link); PD / BlackRapid win on broader market acceptance and longer brand track records.
