Good. But big.
Works well. Good quality. But much larger and bulkier than I would like.

Strong enough to keep my fishing net properly positioned. Works much better than my magnetic release holder with the plastic coiled cable.I'll recommend it to my fellow fly fishing friends.

Exactly What I Needed
Though I haven't actually used this yet, it seems to be exactly what I needed. I also bought two for my friends. The intention is to use Gear Keeper to tether cameras while dirt biking (trails) and powered paragliding. It is strong and heavy duty and I can't imagine it dropping a camera. Though designed for a point-and-shoot or likely a camera a little bigger, I would've liked to have used it for my HD pro video camera while PPGing over Moscow when I had nothing (it was an impromptu flight). I think it would've handled the extra weight of the video camera just fine. Construction seems top-notch and I would expect this to take the abuse to which I will subject it. Is there a problem? Maybe one: The distance from attachment clip (to body) and attachment clip (to gear) is longer than I expected. This will allow the camera to swing around too much without some sort of additional anchor - like Velcro. But this would not be to support weight, only to prevent swinging/bouncing. This is why I rate the Gear Keeper at 4 (instead of 5) stars, as now I will have to do a little bit more to make it perfect for my needs. Check out the DVDs " Into the Wind , the Sport of Powered Paragliding" (2006) and "Into the Wind 2, the Adventure Continues" (2011) to see the aerial footage that I wished I had this Gear Keeper for.

great for a heavy torch, excellent quality
Had and used one before this replacement (lost it !) great bit of gear for when you are diving for crayfish you can drop the torch to grab the cray and know you aint going to lose it !
