What is your mission as a photographer?
I would say that my mission as a photographer is to capture moments in time as I see them. Whether it be from beautiful calming landscapes to high energy music performances, I just love being able to document the world around me and the things I see.

What camera and camera strap do you use currently?
I currently use a Nikon D850 and D810 (Forever wanting to make the jump to mirrorless but too comfortable with my current equipment). The main strap I use is the classic sling adapted with the quick release plate adapter to allow the camera to sit easier to my body. For my second body I use the pro strap. The pro strap was the first camera strap I ever got when I first started photography as a hobby when I was 14. It is the strap my dad and grandad both used at the time and I loved it. I got it from a camera shop in Cleethorpes, UK with my saved up birthday money. I also make full use of the OP/Tech rain covers as living in the UK comes with a lot of rain.

Why have you chosen OP/TECH USA over other brands? - What features of our products stand out to you?
I prefer OP/TECH over other brands mainly due to the variety of styles and ways you can customize a strap system for your preferred wearing style. As mentioned before, I love the sling but I have chosen to adapt it with the plate adapter to have a better and more comfortable fit on my body for when running around venues/festivals. The simple connectors also make it easy to swap straps between cameras with ease allowing me to only need to carry around one strap when travelling. It also comes in handy when storing my camera as I don't have to keep both the camera and strap together. The build quality of these camera straps is also incredible, I still have and use that exact strap I bought when I was 14 years old. Albeit a little dirty and frayed at the seams, however it still performs and functions exactly as the day I bought it. For me, having confidence in the thing that is stopping my camera from hitting the floor when taking photos is a big thing. I have never once had to worry about whether the connectors are going to fail and send my camera plummeting to the floor as the build quality and connection points are just so solid.

Another main feature is the comfort. I have tried other name brands and have always found that a lot of them can get uncomfortable when being carried around for long periods of time. I love having a nice padded neck/shoulder strap that makes carrying around my equipment feel effortless.
What about our products would you recommend to someone else?
The main thing that I would recommend to other people is the wide range of straps and adapters that are available and the build to last quality that they have.

Do you have any other personal thoughts or comments about OP/TECH USA?
Thank you for creating purpose built straps and most importantly, for when I first saved up my birthday money, very affordable camera straps.
