OP/TECH USA SLR Wrist Strap, Neoprene Camera Wrist Strap

I really like camera wrist straps, and this OP/TECH one fits the bill nicely. It's quite a big strap, but having had the small wriststrap on my FZ200 fail and have it drop to the ground, I would rather over-engineer something like this. Pros: I like how it can be quickly removed from your camera, if you put your camera on a tripod for example. This is a real plus. I also like how you can use it with OP/TECH neckstraps too, which is a nice touch. I also like the fact it's a bit stretchy, it feels comfortable in use. It's adjustable, and my weird big hands fit nicely through and then I can close down a little onto my thin wrists. Cons: Your wrists can get a bit sweaty on hot days and it takes a fair bit of space in your camera bag. Also the thick cord that you need to thread through your camera eyelet needs to be guided through carefully of you have a small gap. It certainly fits my Panasonic FZ200, G6, and my Nikon DSLRs, but there's no way it'd fit through my TZ7 eyelet. All in all, I'm very pleased with this wriststrap and have bought two so far. They are great value.

I like many others are not comfortable with a neck strap - I have a Canon 60D and found that I mostly wrap the neck strap around my wrist. I also brought a hand strap which saves a heavy DSLR slipping off your fingers. But I was still wrapping the neck strap around my wrist and decided that I needed something better. The OP/Tech wrist strap is comfortable as it is made from neoprene, so it shouldn't chafe. The Uni-loop clasp is solid and locks home with a firm reassuring click. It appears very well constructed for the price. Time will tell with how long the strap will last before fraying [hopefully not soon]. The strap for me acts as a security measure - I use it in tandem with the hand strap and if I was to accidentally lose grip from the hand strap the wrist strap would save the camera falling to the ground. The wrist strap for me really is a better alternative to wrapping the long neck strap around my wrist.

Very comfortable to use, and being compatible with the whole Op-tech system means it's nicely interchangeable with neck straps etc. Made of reassuringly thick neoprene and very well stitched / riveted together it can take a lot of force. I've had my Canon 7D DSLR with battery grip, external flash and 70-200 f2.8 lens fall out my hand (total weight ~3.5kg) and this took it and saved it crashing to the floor! Worth every penny I paid for it! Good: - Feels like a high quality product costing much more than it did! - Can take a lot more weight than first impressions might suggest - Lasting well, no apparent deterioration with time/weather exposure Bad: - The slider to tighten it around your wrist is very tight and a faff to do up one handed, but keeps it tight once it's done up. Summary: Does the job would 100% buy again. Have since bought into the Op-tech system further.

This is the first wrist strap I have used (apart from on a small compact camera), and actually the first strap I've used that wasn't the shoulder strap that came with the camera. Therefore, I am not in any position to compare this with other similar products. However, I can give some first impressions. It is quite large with my Micro-Four-Thirds camera, but I guess the clip makes it a little more bulky. The strap is very wide, and quite springly by design. The first time I took it out was on quite a warm day, and I wondered if it might be quite sweaty on my wrist. It wasn't, but I feel that it is important to hold the camera properly at all times rather than let it dangle from my wrist, and did find it a bit sweaty to be holding my camera all the time (not a fault of the strap). I've enjoyed using it and it is certainly less cumbersome than a conventional shoulder strap. But I think a wrist strap is probably best used when I'm out with the express purpose of taking pictures. On occasions when I'm taking my camera along with me whilst doing other things (including looking after my young son!) I think a shoulder strap may be more suitable. The advantage of this strap is that it is a 'system' and the same clip can be used with other types of strap. For fun, I tried the strap with my old, and heavy, 35mm SLR. It felt secure once connected, but the old Yashica has very thin lugs to thread the strap through, whereas my Panasonic was very easy to use.

Nach langem Suchen und Überlegen habe ich hier endlich genau das gefunden, was ich gesucht habe: Einen Halteriemen für Leute, die die Kamera gerne in der Hand tragen und (so wie ich) panische Angst haben, sie fallen zu lassen. Die Verarbeitung macht einen sehr guten Eindruck. Die Schnalle sieht stabil aus und ist sehr hart, d.h. versehentliches Öffnen kann man nahezu ausschließen. Der Riemen, der an der Kamera befestigt ist, hat genau die richtige Breite und ist stabil vernäht. Das Neopren ist vernietet und durch einen Plastikschieber in der Weite verstellbar. Ich hatte Sorge, dass sich dieser zu leicht verschiebt und die Kamera doch vom Handgelenk abrutschen kann, das ist aber definitiv nicht der Fall. Auf der Haut ist das Neopren angenehm. Wie das im Sommer bei 35° dann sein wird, wird sich zeigen... Klare Kaufempfehlung für Menschen, die den Halsgurt der Kamera sonst meistens nur benutzen um ihn behelfsmäßig um das Handgelenk wickeln und die von diesem sonst dauernd nur genervt sind.

首にかけるのが面倒なのと痛いので、ハンドグリップを探していました。 バッグから取り出す時も楽ですし、 手首が痛く無く触りも優しく気持ち良いです。 劣化も今のところほぼ無いように感じます。 冬は暖かく夏は暑いですが、快適に使用しています。

No dislike I use it for my camera

Non conoscevo questa marca "OP/TECH®" ma essendo "made in U.S.A." ovvero fabbricato e costruito in U.S.A., credo che ci si possa fidare rispetto alle "cineserie". Nel loro catalogo online è possibile vedere altri prodotti che non sono riuscito a vedere qui su Amazon®, ma dipende dall'uso che se ne vuole fare. Personalmente mi serviva un "attacco sicuro" alla mia DSLR che pesa circa 500 gr (senza obiettivo) e spero che questo "attacco" sia l'ideale. A prima vista, e al tocco, sembra leggero (forse troppo) che potrebbe trarre in inganno. Più è leggero, meno è resistente (ovvio che dipende anche dai materiali) e forse per questo dò 4 stelle. I materiali sembrano di ottima qualità, la "striscia" di neoprene è elastica, formata da diversi strati, non sono cuciti e spero che non si "scollino". Questo modello "SLR Wrist strap™" è particolarmente indicato per le DSLR con obiettivi (sia fissi che intercambiabili) e nel sito ufficiale della OP/TECH® dichiarano che è raccomandato per pesi superiori a 10 lbs (circa 4,5 kg) quindi c'è da fidarsi. C'era anche un altro prodotto simile, con laccio a strappo sul polso, ma sinceramente ho preferito questo modello. L'attacco, chiamato "Uni-Loop Connector™" è compatibile con altri prodotti della stessa ditta, e sembra molto resistente agli strappi o quando ad esempio si perde il "grip" con la propria macchina fotografica. Valuterò attentamente solo dopo averlo utilizzato per bene. Edit. Dopo qualche "giro" con la mia macchina fotografica, il prodotto in questione sembra ottimo. Leggero e resistente, elastico e comodo. Fa leggermente sudare il polso, ma valuterò globalmente dopo l'utilizzo più intensivo. A primo utilizzo mi ha dato "impressioni" positive, è un prodotto di qualità. Valuterò se acquistare altri prodotti di tale marca.

You know what's funny? Watching professional photographers shooting with their camera straps dangling and getting in the way. If you're not going to wear your camera around your neck, then why bother with a strap? Photographers will argue till they're blue in the face, but the honest truth is that it's not doing you any good if you're not using it. I'm one of those guys. A professional photographer who hates camera straps. When I'm out on a shoot, I usually will wrap my camera strap around my wrist a couple of times to get it out of the way and give me the added piece of mind that if I accidentally dropped my DSLR, I'd be able to catch it. Then one day I had an epiphany. Why not ditch the strap and get a wrist strap? This is the one I bought and it's great. Comfortable to wear all day long and it has a clip which detaches if you want to ditch the strap when you're working on a tripod. It's thick enough and the strap secure enough to easily support the weight of a DSLR. Personally, I'm shooting with a Canon 5D-Mark III. I have every confidence that this strap will keep my beloved DSLR from crashing to the ground if I accidentally dropped it. My only complaint is that your wrist will get sweaty if you wear this for an extended period of time. But every camera strap will do that, no matter what it's made out of. This strap is a nice, breathable, stretchy, foam-esque material and you quickly forget you have it on. But the best part of all? I have ditched the camera strap!
