Questions & Answers
The strap connectors are 3/8 inch wide, so if the camera body's lugs can accommodate a 3/8 inch wide strap, you're good to go. A Canon 30D is the camera I'm using. The strap is extremely comfortable to wear. I recommend the blue or red straps if you have a habit of losing or misplacing straps.
It measures approximately 2 feet in length. It can be adjusted. Most people will find it sufficient.
It's the safest strap you'll ever have. I've used it on all of my cameras without issue. I like that the neck strap can be unhooked and folded to fit in your bag; I would and do recommend this strap to anyone. My camera is a Nikon D7000 with a 55-mm lens. 200 millimeters There are no issues with using a 300mm lens.
It's completely safe. I have no problems using these with large SLR cameras such as the Nikon D700 and D800. On this strap, I can carry one of those boat anchors all day and it will hold up like a champ.
Selected User Reviews For OP/TECH USA Pro Strap - 3/8", Black (1501012)
For heavy cameras, the wide shoulder strap is ideal. If your camera isn't too heavy, the Op Tech Classic is a great option. I use it for almost all of my gear. br>br>The OP/TECH Super Classic Strap Pro Loop differs from the OP/TECH USA 1001062 Super Classic Strap- Once you've purchased both cameras and binoculars, as I did, Uni Loop is very simple to use: The Uni Loop does not have two connectors on the sides of the neoprene shoulder (or neck, depending on how you refer to it) pad, whereas the Pro Loop does. This is most likely so that a Pro can remove the neo shoulder strap and use the former strap with other OP/Tech accessories. br>br>In these two models, the threading loops that go into the camera/binocular strap metal arches, as well as the clips near those threading loops, the adjustable side black nylon straps, and even the neoprene shoulder pad, are all identical. br>br>As a result, one must decide whether they want to pay an extra $5 (price subject to change) for the two topmost plastic buckles- those on each of the neoprene shoulder pads- or if they'll never use or require them. I'm a member of the latter group. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative The Super Pro Loop Strap has the same features as the Pro Loop, but it has a wider neoprene shoulder pad that is cut in a slight arc, or curve, to go around the neck profile, and it comes in a variety of colors for the neoprene (though any camera maven knows that only black will not show dirt). Even when carrying my 4 pound 4 ounce 15x56mm binoculars, I don't think I need such a large pad. I prefer the lighter, non-stretchy versions. The Classic versions have a curved shoulder pad. Your tastes could be different. Even after watching the official Op Tech videos, I was perplexed by these straps until I purchased one of each. I hope you are able to purchase the one that will be most beneficial to you.
This strap's width (weight distribution) and ergonomic shape make it noticeably more comfortable than the same company's "Super Classic Strap. " The connectors that connect the Pro Loop Strap to the camera, unlike the "Super Classic Strap," do not separate from the "extensions. " " So, after disconnecting the neck strap, you still have two 12 inch straps flopping around when you want to put your camera on a tripod or simply hold it in your hand without the strap. " (Snapping the ends together is an option, but it's only slightly better. ) ) A workaround is to purchase a separate set of extensions (OP/TECH USA 1301052) and connectors (OP/TECH USA 1301062 Uni-Connectors). Loop - System). It's strange that the company doesn't sell the padded portion of the strap separately, so you can mix and match and save some money and space in your "useful in some alternate universe" junk drawer. Note: the Uni's breadth and diversity Some camera eyelets may be too small for loop connectors. I had no trouble mounting them on Panasonic and Sony cameras. Finally, I'd like to state that I am completely confident in the system's strength and durability.
I'm not a professional photographer by trade, but I take photos as part of my job, which sometimes requires me to spend days out in the field. I assumed I'd be able to get by with the Nikon D7000's stock strap. But after three days of lugging it around at a trade show with the 18-year-old, I was ready to get rid of it. I knew I needed something better with the 140mm zoom lens attached. My neck and shoulders hurt from wearing the stock strap. Plus, whenever I tried to get some relief by slinging the camera over my shoulder, it kept falling off. br>br>I spent a lot of time looking into various options before deciding on the OP/TECH USA Pro Strap. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. The neoprene padding does exactly what it says it does: it distributes the weight of the camera more comfortably and evenly. You'll notice a significant difference the first time you use it. The rubber friction bumps on the bottom of the neoprene strip prevent the camera from sliding around on my neck and keep it on my shoulder when I'm wearing it there. br>br>As a six-footer, I had no trouble adjusting the strap to the exact position I desired. I prefer to wear my camera lower on my hip with a longer strap so that I can wear it bandolier-style. When it comes to fashion, you can never go wrong. I've also noticed that the OP/TECH strap isn't as prone to twisting as the stock Nikon strap. br>br>One criticism I've seen of the OP/TECH design is the use of quick-release connectors. clips to be released I have yet to come across a review or comment from someone who claims the clips accidentally released, causing their camera to fall. To be honest, I can't imagine this ever happening because the clips are so stiff and solid. Velcro strips can be purchased to protect and reinforce the clips, but they don't appear to be necessary unless you're using your camera in harsh conditions. br>br>I understand that $20 for a camera strap that isn't flashy or has extra features may seem excessive, but if you value comfort, convenience, and quality over style and need to carry your DSLR for extended periods of time, the OP/TECH Pro Strap is an investment you won't regret. It is well worth the money. br>br>One last piece of advice: The OP/TEC video on how to attach the strap to your camera can be found at the link below. The final reverse/double-back/reverse-back/reverse-back/re The loop method is easy to understand and implement.

I'm a member of Canon Professional Service, and as part of my membership, they provided me with some really cool camera straps. Those days are gone, so when I bought a new camera and didn't want to announce to the world that I was carrying a $5,000 camera around my neck, I used the strap that came with it to identify the camera model. This strap is on par with, if not better than, Canon's CPS strap. br>br>It's soft, sturdy, simple to put together, and unobtrusive. Recommended for professionals. br>br>.
