Q: 6. I am five foot in height, cancer as a kid shortened my torso, hence, straps often seem too long for me at their shortest. Having trouble using the specs listed to know if this would be too long for me. Any advice or experience from shorter folk?

A: Being similar in height, I have the same problem and do own this strap. I would honestly say that at max height (the point in which adjusted strap in the back comes back down and reaches the camera) is pocket level. Just slightly below my hip. I am OK with my mirrorless and D750. But a camera with a grip or my D850, is too long. As the other answer mentioned, it can continue to be adjusted but you would have to do some creative stitching to hide all of the extra strap that comes down to avoid it from wrapping back up in the front and preventing the camera from laying flat.

Q: 7. Can this also be used over the left shoulder or only over the right shoulder?

A: This version is left should for a right hand user but you can buy a left hand / right shoulder version.
