OP/TECH USA Super Classic Camera Strap – Padded Neoprene Neck Strap with Comfort-Stretch & Quick Disconnects | DSLR/SLR/Mirrorless Compatible – Black

Yet another great product from OP/TECH. I have several of their filter packs and I love their lens hoods. This is the second camera strap I have from OP/TECH and while both are great, I like this one the best. Both straps are essentially the same. My first OP/TECH camera strap has the disconnect clips next to the shoulder pad, where this strap has the disconnect clips about 3" from the body mounts. The original strap worked great until I bought a new Sony a99MK2, removed the strap from my original DSLR and installed it on the a99ii, intending to purchase a replacement from OP/TECH for my original body. Up front I should have been thinking of this. My original DSLR very rarely saw a tripod, but my new a99ii spends most of its life on a tripod outdoors. It doesn't take much wind to get those straps flopping around all over, causing noticeable image degradation. Yes, you can tie them up with rubber bands, twisties or whatever but that is a pain in the rear end when the camera is on and off the tripod every few minutes. So, the old strap quickly went back on the original body where I should have left it. :) A quick browse of OP/TECH's products quickly turned up the 'Super Classic Strap'. Excellent quality just like my original strap and without the 12-14" of strap still attached to the camera when the shoulder pad is removed. Strong wind still tends to blow the 'stubs' around but not nearly as bad as the much longer ones. So far I can't seen any image degradation in my images so I'm very happy. Another nice thing about this strap vs my older one is that when the camera is on a tripod and the strap is disconnected, the ends don't have a tendency to snag on ever stick, week or branch within 20 yards. :) The shoulder pad section - like my original - is very comfortable. A a99MK2 DSLT or a900 DSLR with a Zeiss 16-35 or 24-70 is maybe a bit much (especially with a grip and two batteries) for this strap. I think OP/TECH intended this strap for something just a tad smaller and lighter. However, I've been using my original strap for years and have never had a complaint. The shoulder pad is very soft and comfortable even considering its relatively narrow width and I've never seen the need for something more. The compactness of the strap also means its light and takes up little room in a bag/backpack. Very important when weight or space (or both) are at a premium.

Got this on the recommendation of another person on a Pentax board. Works great with my K-30; looks good too. Fits nicely into the camera strap part of the camera - better than the original. Quick disconnects are much appreciated. Very happy with my purchase.

I love it because it's so versatile. I purchased this strap and another set of OP/TECH USA System Connector Uni-Loops. This allows me to use the strap on multiple cameras. The build quality is excellent. The material the connectors are made of is not so brittle as to break easily, but also not so flexible that you might accidentally release the connector. The loop material is strong enough to support a DSLR or Film SLR even with a heavy lens. I also use the Uni-Loop connectors with the Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap. The only caveat I have about this product is the difficulty of installation. Because the loop material is so thick, it was extremely difficult to thread the loop thru the metal strap mounts on my Sony DSLRs. If I hadn't been willing to make the slot in the mount slightly wider by twisting a large Flat-bladed screwdriver inside the slot, I would have NEVER been able to thread the loop thru. I even used op/tech's recommended tip of pulling the loop thru using a thin wire threaded thru the loop. I still would not have been able to get the loop thru the camera strap mount with out widening the slot. If it hadn't been for this, I would have given this product 5 stars. But, having said all that, making the loop material thinner to ease installation would compromise the strength of the whole Op/Tech system. So just be aware that you might have to be willing to modify your Camera's strap mounts to use this product!

I love this camera strap! It is very comfortable on the neck and works well with my Nikon camera. I had some issues getting it installed, but I sent an e-mail to the company and they responded quickly with step-by-step instructions. They were very nice and courteous and provided tips on how to make things easier when adding to my camera. I love the fact that is made in the USA and that they have an amazing customer support team!! Thank you very much! I have purchased a number of these and have been unable to find the perfect camera strap that is reliable for my camera... so happy to discover this one!

I had a Crumpler Industry Disgrace a few years back and weighed the option of buying another one because I liked it that much. But a couple things led me to look at other straps, price and convenience (I don't always like having a strap connected to my camera). The OP/TECH Super Classic Strap w/ the Uni Loop option was one of the best choices I've made. Thick (1/4"), comfortable neoprene neck support that stays in place due to the rubberized texture on one side...detachable Uni Loop connections that conveniently stay out of my way when unattached, yet durable enough to provide me with assurance when fully utilized (less than 5lbs. I only use primes) even despite the fact that the webbing they're attached to feels a bit sparse (but satisfied)...all for a little over a Jackson! Don't let the low price fool you, this is a really quality product. I'm glad I now know what others have known for years...OP/TECH Super Classic Strap!

Canon Professional Service used to give straps like this to members of their CPS service. Finances have shut that down so when I got a third Canon body, I searched for a comfortable strap and found these. They are very similar to the CPS straps and are just as strong and comfortable. While quality cameras like Canon and Nikon give the buyer a strap, they are neither as comfortable nor as "invisible" - the brand provided straps scream the camera name and model in bold letters - not something I think is a good idea since I feel it makes me a target for crooks ... This strap lets me and my camera remain anonymous - I love that. You may like that too... Excellent quality. Super comfortable. Doesn't attract thieves and is surprisingly affordable. Winner, winner, chicken dinner....

This strap is WELL worth the price. The quality of it alone just amazes me. If you’re looking for a shoulder strap then don’t hesitate and get this one! There are a few notes I have for people that may be iffy. The strings that attach to your camera mounts/holes are thick. If your camera has small holes then you’ll need to add a keyring. Not a big deal. Another thing is that it is a pretty short strap. I’m 5’8” and the strap is sitting right above my hip bone when fully extended. Also, the non-slip on the shoulder pad works really well. I like that it gives me confidence that it won’t swing around but it also makes it a little difficult if you are trying swing your camera up to take a shot. If the strap was a little longer, this probably wouldn’t be a problem but given it’s length, you’ll have to adjust your shoulder pad to bring the camera up to your eye.

So I wanted to use one of those elastic chest/torso/shoulder harnesses with my binoculars, especially my 28oz 12x50s, but be able to switch to a simple neck strap, (or at least a wrist strap), with minimal hassle. Op Tech makes a version of such a harness, incorporating their Uni Loop plastic buckle attachment system. And it works great. However, the shortest neck strap they make that incorporates the Uni-Loop attachment system, that is, this Uni-Loop neck strap, is still so long that binoculars hang way down on my stomach, even when adjusted as short as it will go. Pretty absurd for a neck strap. I'm 5'7". Clearly, Op Tech has only ever thought about cameras, and not binoculars, when it comes to Uni-Loop neck straps, for some unfathomable reason. At any rate, luckily, the neck strap can be modified pretty easily to make it shorter. I cut the sewn loop that attaches the adjustable webbing part of the strap to the adjustment buckle, and fed the newly loose end back through the adjustment buckle. I can confirm that the gaps in the buckle are big enough to accommodate it. And even accommodate feeding the loose end back through one side of the buckle a third time, providing extra security, and directing the loose end up towards the neck and away from my binoculars. You could make it about an inch shorter than what I did if you cut the other sewn loops too, though then you'll end up with additional loose ends, on the inside side of the neck strap, I think. Also, be forewarned that if you intend on threading a Uni-Loop attachment loop through your binoculars' rain guard, you may be, as I was, in for a stressful struggle, (mentally and finger-wise), in which you're worried you're going to break the rain guard, or it's actually impossible to thread the rain guard through. In my case, I was successful, twice, with two different binoculars, and it was worth it. Of course, you could attach your rain guard indirectly in some alternative way. I would also recommend the Uni-Loop backpack attachment straps. And if your backpack doesn't work with them: In my case, I was able to modify a different Uni-Loop product to basically consist of Uni-Loop buckles that are directly attached to 3/8" webbing straps that have adjustment buckles, forming an adjustable loop on the backpack side, that I then used a larks head knot to attach to the hydration tube guide loops on my backpack's shoulder straps. (I may use some paracord, passing through the backpack's carry handle, and maybe a couple tiny carabineers, to provide insurance against the hydration tube guide loops breaking, if it starts to seem necessary.)
