3401002 Compact Sling for Cameras (Black)

1点吊りで現場使用に耐えるストラップを探していて、試しに買ってみましたが 大正解でした。 たすき掛けにすればカメラが正面にこないので、あちこちに引っ掛ける、当たる ことが回避でき、使う時はカメラに繋がっている子ストラップが親ストラップを スライドします。これが味噌で使い勝手この上ない。 使い始めたばかりなので耐久性は解りませんが、見た目は国産メーカーの純正品 より頑丈そうです。 何時販売中止になるか解らないので、ストック分を買おうと思います。

This is a marvelous design for a camera strap. I use it to replace the somewhat less than desired supplied strap on my Fuji X-mount camera (the neck strap is a bit too inflexible and not all that comfortable to wear). This Op/Tech strap is designed to be worn over one shoulder (like one might carry a mail travel sack), with the thicker part of the strap on the shoulder itself. The remainder of the strap lays diagonally down the body as it descends to the waste. But the think that makes this different is that there is a small camera attachment (detachable) which can actually slide up and down the main strap. This means that, once you've connected the camera, you can let it dangle at the bottom of the strap (near your waste), and even keep a hand on the camera, if you wish. Then, when you want to take a shot, you just lift the camera, and it slides up the main strap, and the weight of the camera is somewhat absorbed by this connection. You can actually easily slide the camera up and down the main strap at will. The main effect of this approach is that the camera can be lifted and dropped without ever detaching the strap from the neck or shoulder, and the camera remains securely attached to your body in either the shooting or the released (at waist) position. It's a fantastic design, executed with a good quality device that is also more than reasonable in price. (There are also additional parts that the company sells that extend the functionality of the strap, if desired.) Five stars.

I already have the Op Tech wrist strap and neck strap for my mirrorless camera, and while I like the wrist strap the neck strap seemed awkward, so I splashed out on the sling. Once you have adjusted the sling to a comfortable length the camera hangs comfortably when not in use, and can be readily raised when you want to use it; the clip slides easily along the sling, allowing the camera to be used for waist-level or eye-level shots, and there is a slider on the sling which can be used to restrict the range of movement if required. At first it seemed a bit insecure, with all the weight on one clip*, but the sling is rated to 2.5 lbs (1.1g) which is much more than my G6 weighs even with a long lens, and in practice it seems strong enough. Also, since the sling works well for me regardless of whether it is connected to the left-hand or right-hand lug on the camera, it is possible to have both the wrist strap and sling attached at the same time - making for safer change-over from one to the other when out and about. I can see the sling being the strap I normally use when out walking and want both hands free, with the neck strap retired to very occasional use. (* the wrist strap also uses just one clip, but here it is the back-up rather than the primary support, as one would normally be holding the camera rather than letting it dangle. With the sling though, the idea is that the camera will hang by your hip, say, where it can easily be grabbed when you want to use it.)

Excellent!

für meinen Einsatzzweck habe ich es modifiziert, damit es an meine Anforderungen gut passt. Ich benötige es um eine Thermalkamera bei Gutachten griffbereit am Hals zu tragen um sie nicht jedesmal aus einer Tasche fädeln zu müssen: und dafür taugt es nun perfekt
