Home > Consumer Reviews > Op/Tech Pro Camera Strap 3/8" - Black

I got a Canon Rebel XT close to a year ago and soon realized that I was not going to like carrying it around all day with a heavy lens using the strap that came with it. So I bought another strap, but my second strap had hard plastic connectors which made it always get in the way when I tried to shoot. So after doing a little more research I found this strap. It makes even my 100-400, 3lb. lens bearable for hours at a time. Plus the strap fits the viewfinder cover that came with my camera that you use in order to keep stray light away from the light meter when your eye is away from the camera. This is a really great strap, I will never go back to stock straps again.

Hi folks,
Just like to inform you of the wonderful product this strap is. It REALLY does make my camera (D80 with 18-200VR) seem soooo much lighter. The straps are broad and has anti-slip bottoms to ensure it doesn't fall of, even when I carry it on the side.

Have I mentioned the foam material they use is truly something else? Have totally no regrets buying this. Strong recommendation.

I bought this strap for my canon 30D and it is much better than the strap that came with the camera. Carrying the camera with the lenses attached, does not cause my neck pain. The strap is padded with neoprene which does not "dig" into your neck, and you can quickly disconnect the strap with the "quick disconnect" connectors. Even in the hot sun sweating, the strap does not cause discomfort. Note, I have not yet tried the strap with a heavy "L" lens, but it works great with the smaller lenes.
ps, it also makes you look more "professional" if you care about such a thing...

Carrying a D80 with extra battery grip and 18-200mm lens caused a sore neck. The Op/tech strap solved all that by evenly distributing the weight and preventing excessive muscle fatigue. Consider it essential equipment for anyone with a moderately heavy camera kit.

I very often carry 2 Nikons, both with the MB-10 battery pack. I purchased one of these straps to see if it would be effective. What a difference! You will not believe how much lighter your camera feels! It is so much more comfortable and balanced around your neck or over your shoulder. There is simply no comparision to the $5 strap supplied with your camera. The length is very adjustable and the wide part can be easily removed via plastic clips when your camera is on a tripod. I have already ordered 2 more [one for my other camera, and one for my daughter]. This is a great product that, by the way, also looks very professional.
