REPORTER STRAP™ addresses the needs of today's active photographers who use two cameras to cover the diverse photo challenges presented in their work. Now two cameras or a camera/binocular combination can be comfortably worn with only one strap—REPORTER STRAP™ . This allows you to have better control of your gear while reducing the chance of damaging expensive equipment.
The REPORTER STRAP™ has quick disconnects on the primary strap so that using different connectors is a snap. The popular OP/TECH USA 3/8" (9,525mm) Connectors are standard on the primary strap. The secondary strap attaches to the main strap body with durable plastic snap hooks. This second set of connectors uses 3/8" (9,525mm) webbing in order to maximize the adjustable range. Top quality neoprene reinforced with durable elastic makes the equipment feel like half the weight. The REPORTER STRAP™ is also great for wildlife photographers carrying both a camera and binoculars at once. When in the field for long periods of time, OP/TECH USA's weight reduction comfort can make all the difference.

I've been using this strap for over a month now with no real problems. 
The strap uses a rubber type material that cushions the weight of your camera against the neck quite well, it does help to make the load feel lighter but not drastically so, so don't expect miracles if you have a heavy camera/lens combo. It is however much more comfortable than the standard strap you would get with your camera, this is achieved by the strap being wider and better shaped combined with the non slip grip surface that actually does work.
The main advantage of the "Reporter" strap over the "pro" strap is the extra connectors, these can be used to hold a pair of binoculars or another camera, very handy for me as I like to have a pair of spotting binoculars when I'm out shooting wildlife, and would no doubt be very handy for any working photographer who would use a multi camera setup.
Reccommended.
