I previously used an Optech neck strap as a shoulder strap. I bought this as soon as I found it. We like the Optech neck strap (my wife likes neck straps better). This is much more comfortable, due to the edge binding. The strap should be available in more configurations, including alone. Also, there should be a non-neoprene version for warm weather. I bought the UNI ADAPTOR LOOP in order to convert this into a neck strap. (posted on 2/9/12)

Optech Loyal review by charlie

My first Optech Pro Strap was bought 20 yrs ago. After several upgrade of cameras, I was still using it. I gave the pro strap to my son as I bought the utility sling set which I have been looking for since last yr. I followed the video instruction on the connection of one uni-loop only. The functionality I felt disappointed was the when I positioned my Canon 7D camera (without battery grip) for vertical shot the strap partially covers the view finder and LCD. After several strap adjustments it was still the same. I experimented with using and attaching the left connection point of camera and it was no longer covering the view finder and LCD when shooting vertically. However, when not shooting the camera is positioned ackwardly on my right side as the starndard camera grip is down on my side. Maybe you can think of something to correct this. Or maybe it was improper usage.

I saw one of these in use quite some time ago and the person using it didn't seem affected by the weight or the position of his camera, w/grip, so last week I finally ordered one. It's one of the most comfortable and simple accessories you can have. I barely notice my Pentax K20D hangin' at my side and wish I had bought one sooner (I've gotta agree about having a lock mechanism of some kind on the strap would be a good idea). Along with their camera harness and "made in USA" the Utility Sling is another great product from OP/TECH. (posted on 1/9/12)

Five stars across the board.... At first I had my doubts, but for the price I could not go wrong! I fumbled around with it at first, but once I had it adjusted properly, WOW! Makes my camera rig feel like nothing. Camera sits well when walking. Only thing I would do is make a larger one for larger guys like me! (posted on 9/26/11)

What a difference from the rough strap that came with my camera! The guy from the camera shop where I bought mine put it on wrong, and I almost returned it. The assembly instructions that come with the strap referred to the video and that made it all so easy! Love having so much accessibility to my camera without having it swinging around in front of me.
One thing that could stand improvement is that the connector's release offers a very easy opportunity for theft, which is why I give construction quality 4 stars. A cover or lock design for the release would help to resolve that vulnerability.

Ok, now I have watched the video... which totally explains the strap. Wow... glad I came to the web site. This is a great strap once you know what you are doing. Hopefully the company will inform people to go look at the video somewhere in the instructions. Great product. (posted on 3/8/11)
