I have always loved the Op-Tech straps! I appreciate the ability to make the strap short for hand holding, especially !

Best strap I've used and doesn't flash my camera brand around to attract attention to me.

I don't use a neck strap often but when I do I sure as heck don't want some nylon strap tearing into my neck. This is my second one. My first was for my 70D and now this one for my 5DMIV.

It's more comfortable than the Nikon strap and the camera doesn't slide off my shoulder.

These straps for DSLR or large Mirrorless are about the best you can get (see title). They distribute weight very well, are slightly stretchy but not too much, and very tough. I've used them in the U.S. and also in hot places in Asia. Usually it's attached to a Full-Frame with 24-105mm or 100mm; or APS-C with 17-70mm, 18-135mm or 90mm. You can buy the double-harness for two heavy cameras, or the tandem strap for one heavy, one light camera. It's a system, so even if you want it as side-sling, it'll work with strap extenders. I also own the various hand-straps, so that I can attach a compact to my DSLR harness, as backup. So far I own three black, three green and five grey ones for my 11 interchangeable lens cameras (six DSLRs and 5 Mirrorless); plus the double strap harness and the tandem straps, plus a dozen or so accessory.compact straps. The bonus--Op/Tech USA is not just a name, they're really Made in USA! My one and only caution--because the strap is neoprene (like in scuba-diving suits), it can get hot around a bare neck in the summer. That's why a couple of my straps are the narrower type for the Mirrorless (they're not as heavy and I tend to use them in travels). This is not a complaint and it's not a quality issue either.

Strap works very well. Camera feels half the wait it used to with the mfg strap. Would highly recommend this product.

More substantial and much more comfortable than factory (New Nikon D3300) strap.

Bought it for a Sony Alpha 380. Works great, I like that the webbing is really really wide around the back of my neck, it makes the camera fell lighter. It's definitely not cheap, but it's worth the money.

Use it to carry my Nikon DSLR around. The most comfortable strap I have used. Can be used around the neck or on the shoulder. I will always make sure that I have one of these.

I made this purchase to replace a strap I damaged. I caught the buckle in the car door when closing and it fractured the snap fitting. While I did a field repair, replacement was in order. It's fine, holding my camera securely - I just thought better of letting the expensive Body and lense hang from a compromised fitting. Having said that, These straps are a photographers dream come true. Wide and elastic the neck band has flexibility to conform to your neck/coat collar and the elasticity makes the set up completely comfortable for day long shooting. I carry a Canon body and 70-200mm and another body with a wide angle lenses - all day - and comfortably on this strap. The added option to unclasp either side allows the user to release the camera from one or both sides. This comes in very handy along the way. The only issue this nice comfortable wide band along the center (your neck) is that during warm weather - it's a little warm. Not an issue I am concerned with. My gear and I travel comfortably and safely using these straps, I would recommend them to anyone who carries a camera for any amount of time. I have carried my gear this way for years, Paris, Rainforest in Costa Rica, Shooting off the coast of SFO on the "Saltbreaker" - great gear a must have!

It is a very secure strap, good quality, strong, and easy to use. Very light for your shoulder or neck, great support for heavy cameras, 100% more comfortable than the regular Straps. I like the anti slip feature, helps to your camera to don't run or move when you walk.

This is the third OP/TEC camera strap that I have owned. They are lightweight, easy to install, comfortable and a real joy to use. These straps are 100 percent better than the original camera straps that you get with your new cameras. These straps are flexable and has ribbing so the camera does not slip off your shoulder. The best straps I have ever purchased at a reasonable price.

I was so pleased after using this strap that I bought another to give to my son for his birthday.

I got this to replace the original strap on my D4 which i found was not good enough for this camera. The Optech is very comfortable, strong and when you put it raround your neck it's as if the camera got lighter. All in all i am very impressed with this strap.

Far superior to the Original Equipment Strap. Both of my cameras (with battery packs on both) are equipped with these straps.

I carry my camera for long days in the field. This strap helps to prevent fatigue and pain.

I use these on all my dslr since the Nikon strap is very minimal. I often use a auxillary battery pack adding weight along with some heavier lenses. I feel confident the strap is strong enought to handle this load and it distributes weight nicely.

This purchase convinced me to convert all my pro Canon 1D-series and 5D with added grip to the Op/Tech. Much more comfortable for event assignments, especially with heavier lenses like 24-70L. Breathes better than factory strap when things get warm.

Was looking for a strap that would spread the weight of my camera/lens/battery pack more evenly. I've purchased some op/tech gear in the past and it has always been the highest quality and very reasonably priced. When I came across this strap I knew it would be well made and perform just as I expected. I attended a seminar a few days after I received the strap and had my camera with me for a good 14 hours. It worked great. No neck strain or chaffing.

This strap far surpasses any that you get with your camera. It's very comfortable and I can use it all day without complaints.

Very easy to attach to my camera. I like the ease of use this strap offers. I can easily take the camera on and off my neck if needed.

Much more comfortable than the manufacturer's straps, especially when you are carrying camera and heavier lens for long periods of time.
