OP/TECH 1501372 Pro Loop Strap - Black

This strap is just what I needed for lugging my D700 + battery pack + heavy lens around my neck. It's got a nice, wide strap with rubberised dots on the reverse of it, so it stays put and doesn't slip around on your neck, or slip off your shoulder, if that's where you're carrying it. The loops which fasten to the camera are very robust, and it's finished extremely well. The neck piece is slightly elastic, and gives slightly when you walk, which will give the camera a more cushioned ride while taking some of the jarring out of your neck & shoulder. Highly recommended. Can be fitted (or removed) in seconds, and the main shoulder piece can be detached from the eye loops on the camera easily in case you need to squeeze it all into a small camera bag and don;t want the shoulder strap jammed in there with it.

Does exactly what it claims to do. A heavily loaded DSLR (heavy lens, flash unit) can be carried comfortably for long periods. The more walking you do wearing a heavy camera, the more you'll appreciate this strap -- it comes into its own when you're moving around a lot. The strap is easy to adjust, easy to fit, quick to adjust and comfortable to wear. It's much more subtle visually than the traps supplied with new, major-brand DSLRs; I'd have preferred it without OP/TECH's own branding but that's a minor quibble. Recommended.Update, Jan 2012 after a year of use: light scratches on one of the metal lugs of my camera body (small enough for me not to know they existed) caused one of the loops of this strap to fail badly. The loop on the other side was as new. Replacement loops are available and the the lug's scratches can be sanded off but do check before you fit the strap that nothing will affect the elastic material used to make the OP/TECH loop connectors. (Previous straps -- different manufacturers -- were unaffected.)

I’ve used Op/Tech straps on cameras and binoculars for over 20 years. They’re comfortable, secure, easy to fit and long lasting. The wide padding is particularly good at spreading the weight of a camera and larger lens, and with binoculars can be worn for many hours.My latest purchase appears to be as well made as the first many years ago.

I now have three of these straps. I love them as the clipped parts make them so adaptable. If carrying just one camera I use the optech neoprene strap which is lovely and comfy, if though using two cameras or a long day with one I will use my multi camera harness. I unclipped the optech middle section then use the two end sections linked together as a safety strap with my harness. This makes it much sturdier and more reliable than some of the specialist safety straps which are often quite flimsy imho.I buy a new one of these straps for every camera body I buy now!The only change I would make would be to have looped ends for tidiness rather than the strap and plastic stopper thing that need to be looped/threaded through etc.

If you lug a heavy camera around and feel weary then this strap is for you! I have used Otech for years and they relieve the burden of heavy camera equipment making it so much more comfortable. A really good buy.

Strap is well made and is strong enough for a heavy camera and long lens. But it is just a bit short for me with no length adjustment

Great good and comfortable

Feels great, but the adjustability of the strap is flawed. The longest it can be is only just big enough to get your arm through and not comfortably either.
