The Upstrap  works really well. I've gone to it on all my cameras. 
The only problem I had was in learning to trust that it really does 
stay put on your shoulder and learn to relax. A minor  problem is 
that they are designed to be used on the shoulder and the SLR size 
can get a little uncomfortable if used around the neck for long 
periods of time. (no such problem with the rangefinder size) .
