Good strap for heavy equipment

Caveat: I wear my SLRs not hung over his shoulder, but often then looped also on one hand, the strap around your hand. The latter is quite good with the supplied Nikon original straps, but have a tendency to slide down relatively quickly from his shoulder. For this purpose they attract not only in exotic places with their screaming yellow label brand casual and professional thieves!

Remedy seemed the Super Classic Strap promise of OpTech. He met my expectations with one caveat.

Well the system is that you need multiple cameras only a shoulder piece, when all cameras will equip with the same 3/8 "-Anschlußstücken or loops The woven material of the fittings could, however, be thicker and softer the closures of the strap lock securely..; the black material of the belt is inconspicuous, a brand label, the manufacturer has fortunately avoided. Worn around the neck or the belt diagonally in front of the abdomen is the wide and soft carrying piece pleasant and distributed very well the weight even heavier camera / lens combinations from 1, 5 kg upwards. On one shoulder is very wide and thick, according to certain conditions flexible support piece in light cameras have a tendency to slip, especially in smooth clothing materials and steady movements. For camera weights less than 1 kg should therefore this epaulette not use. To hand wrapped bears the thick piece carrying on quite, also can use the clip locks interfere when wearing on his hand. It's true, but not very good.

Conclusion: For lighter cameras or for looping the strap around the carrying hand less suitable. Ideal for wearing around the neck or diagonally across the chest and back, as well as for heavier camera / lens combinations. Due to the hard and thin fabric of the fittings and because this is a personal evaluation for my occasional use way of Herumschlingens the shoulder strap to the hand, which is only partly good, on balance, only 4 stars.

I only wish a narrower and more flexible support piece for the system similar to the Op / Tech Fashion Strap, although in the less expandable and rubberized on the bottom running the Super Classic Strap Pro.

I tried also the supporting piece the Fashion Strap Op / Tech. This is overall better for easy camera / lens combinations, can be good wrap around the hand, slips, however, for smooth fabrics like wildfire from the shoulder. The Fashion Strap I rate it with 3 stars; an appropriate review can be found under the Product.

Note: I have a few months of use, the revised review and subsequently raised the rating of the Super Classic Strap Pro from 3 to 4 stars.
