I've been using one of those lately. It's nice to be able to adjust it on the fly but the strap gets in that way of your grip a bit. I was thinking of adding some sort of shim/spacer thingy to move it a bit away from the booms so I can get my fingers under it easily. It doesn't need much.
??? You're not meant to put it near your hand positions... the lever/rope-pull should be about 1-2ft behind your back hand, so that you can put your shoulder into it.
Some brands have quite a long tie-on mechanism, which is a little annoying... although you should still be able to mount it 10inches or more from the back of your harness line.
