Very satisfied
Fast shipping. A great item to stop the notorious Nikon “Lens Creep.” I am very satisfied and recommend the Lens Band.
Excellent speedy delivery and a solution to that Nikon lens creep problem! Great product!!
Excellent service with fast shipping to the UK – Band worked on my lens and looks good too. Suggestion – more colours that approximate manufacturers logos / colours e.g. a Dark Blue to match my Zeiss lens logo, a dark yellow / goldy brown to match Tamron lens styling, maybe even orange to match Sony alpha mounts etc.
Previously used a plain rubber band – but this works better… right tension and grip. On the lens all the time and it’s black color blends in – I bought 2!
i bought two great things one of my lens all ways opens now good job
Nifty solution to the lens creep problem. I use it for the Nikon 18-200. I am going to try it on the Tamron 200-500 also.
Have not had to use as of date.But this looks great fitted to the lense,I would recommend this to anyone.as the cost and delivery,where one of the best.I have no problem that this band will do what its made for.
Great product. Solved my problem with my 18-250mm lens. Thanks a whole bunch!!
Very effective, stops zoom creep on a Canon 17-55mm.
Very good for vertical shots to prevent lens creep! Gives you a “Free Hand” so you don’t have to hold the zoom lens in the desired position. Great invention!!
Great low tech solution for all those high tech Canon lens’s that do not have a zoom lock.
I wish I had known about a product like this years ago. You should sell a band with a smooth surface to slip over a cameras mode dial to prevent the mode from being changed inadvertently.
I got the Lensband for my Sigma 150-500mm, works great. Here’s my review on Youtube

Perfect solution to my Nikkor 18-200mm 1st gen lens with no zoom lock! Love it!
I bought the lensband to fit a Sigma 50-500. To see how effective the Lensband really is, I stood the lens, for a full hour, on both its head and its tail and there was no discernible movement at all – impressive, as this is not a light lens.
I used this band on my Nikon 18-200 lens (the older model). It is well known to have the lens creep that affects this lens. While doing alot of walking through Italy this summer, it never failed me. Great product to fix lens creep at such a inexpensive price! Would recommend this to everyone!
Fast Shipping on a Great product. Works just as advertised. Thank you!
Ordered 4 bands; received them sooner than expected; used one on my Nikon 18-200 on a recent trip to Alaska; worked perfectly. Very satisfied and I highly recommend the product.
Nifty little gadget that works well with a little practice. Has the added appeal of being purpose specific and branded. Lots of snob appeal if you’re into that. Absolutely works better than anything I had tried previously.
Great product, works as advertised. Quick
transaction. Thanks.
It works perfectly on my Lumix 45-200. The lens is fixed at the position I want. I use this on the focus ring as well, to stop on the focus I want.
Great product, great price and fast shipping.
I am very satisfied with the product, I sincerely recommend it to everyone who has problems with the nikon zoom creep. The delivery is fast, the price is right. highly recommended
has completely solved the lens creep problem on the 18-200 nikon lens
- many thanks.
Works great! I was able to find a position where I never have to move the LensBand and yet can still zoom and focus unencumbered and with no creep whatsoever, even with the camera pointed straight up or down.
Bought for my Canon 60D with an 18-135mm. I have a case logic bag with the hammock system and a Black Rapid RS-4 strap. The lens band keeps lens from creeping.
Purchased to use on my Nikon 18-200 which exhibited noticeable if slight creep at maximum 200m telephoto. This problem now seems to be much improved so thanks folks.
Love the band! Would love to get a black one but have been using the blue. I love that it keeps my lens from sliding in and out while it’s over my shoulder. When it’s shoot time, it’s so easy to throw it on my writs like a bracelet that I can totally forget about until it’s time to lock the lens down again. It’s an awesome little product that is so easy to use! So Simple!
It’s true, simple ideas are usually the best! Thanks for a great solution to a pain in the rump problem
Your Lens Band works a treat on my Panasonic Lumix 45-200mm… so no more zoom creep for me!!! Thank You Lens Band ; )
follow-up of previous issue with not ever receiving order…all has been corrected and the company promptly shipped a replacement order…
Speed shipping to Asia. Lens Band is the perfect solution to zoom-creep.
I LOVE my lens band. I have a Nikon 18-200 and the lens creep was awful. The lens band is an easy, inexpensive solution to a really annoying problem. Highly recommended!
Quick shipping to United Kingdom. This was bought to prevent lens-creep on a Nikon 18-135mm lens when carried on the shoulder. It does this well and as I opted for a black band, I leave it permanently on the lens where it is barely noticable.
The lensband Ipurchased is doing its job very well. I am completely satisfied.
(Lensband for AF-S Nikkor 18-200 mm/f3.5- 5.6 G ED).
Great product!! Simple but definitely effective!
Thank you.

The lens band works great, my Nikon 28-200 was creeping so bad I was looking at buying the new version of that lens. Wow what a savings.
Nice product for all photographers, light and very useful for everyday
work.
Suggestion: Fix the flash battery flap problem with a Flashband? We strobists sometimes use old Sunpak 433 and 30DX flashes but the battery cover catch is weak. I fix this using silicone wristbands. I figure you could attack this market with your stuff. It’s not just Sunpak, broken or weak battery covers are always a problem… Pete
I like the idea but being old I have arthritis and can not get my fingers to do what I know they have to do to move the “Lensband”. Being that it is molded can you add a tab that can be grabbed easer to move it?
Thank you for your help.

I purchased 3 lens Bands for use on a Sigma 150-500mm lens, and a Tamron 18-270 lens, as well as a Tamron 90mm Macro.
It appears that all th on hese lenses should have different bands. They were ordered on the web site. I installed the bands on the Sigma and the Tamron zoom per the instructions. It appears that the tension of the band distorts the focus ring (both plastic) and impedes the auto focus feature. I remove the band and it focuses fine. Have you had any issues with this?
I’d love to see some yellow bands with “CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS” printed in black. I’d buy several of those!
I have been looking for something like this for awhile because my 70-400 zoom creeps down all the time when I take it hiking. It is a little tight on this big lens, but it does fit and I’m sure the lens won’t creep with the Lensband in position. Thanks!
Even though the site lists that web band works with the Canon 15-85, the band ends up covering the focus ring in order to reach a non-moving portion of the lens body.
On this particular lens, you’d take the Lens Band and stretch to the opposite direction, away from the focus ring, by placing a portion of the band on to the telescoping part of the lens. Similar to users, using this on their push-pull zoom lenses. I hope this helps.
When going on birding hikes my lens of choice is the 55-300mm Nikon which
unfortunately does not have a zoom lock and creeps. The lens band provides
an aesthetically pleasing solution to holding the zoom ring in place! While
the lens band product may appear similar to a Livestrong or other charity
bracelet, the lens band features slightly thinner silicone and a slightly
larger diameter. This allows for easier manipulation of the band along the
focus ring.
Thanks,
Chris
I just received my Lens Band and it less than a minute it solved the creep problem I have had on my 18-200mm Nikon lens that I’ve suffered with for over a year.
Thanks Lens Band
and it glows in the dark too!
Such a cool simple fix for a super common problem! I just got back into Photography a couple of years ago, and just stepped up to a Canon DSLR. It came with a Canon 28-135 kit zoom and I added a Canon 17-55mm 2.8 to add to my collection of glass.
Both lenses had lens creep, especially the 28-135, so I quickly started looking for a solution. After reading a ton of blogs, and some funny DIY fixes (like the ones on your site) I ran across some links to your product. One size fits all. Quality Silicone construction, Personalized with a bunch of colors. Hmmm, low prices too!
What makes this funny is that I was a camera repair technician back in the early 70′s. If I had lens creep, I would have taken the lens apart and lightly lubed the guides with a thicker grease, and checked to see if the slots were worn, or the guide screws were loose, etc. Today, I am happy to accept a simple solution to the problem. Half assed fixes like thread, and teflon tape, etc, just don’t qualify as a fix I want on my camera. You made these so interesting looking that they actually accessorize the camera/flash. etc.
PS – All of the many different colors help you grab the right lens quickly! I have my 28-135 with the Blue band, and my 17-55mm with the Pink band. I always grab the right lens the first time!
PPS – Great seller, Great communication, fast shipping….Can you tell I’m a happy guy?
