Any thoughts on these?? I'm looking for something to replace the supplied strap for my 7D. Must be comfortable and above all safe...

Re: OP/Tech Pro Straps
Yep, agree with Bob, best straps I've ever used, have them on all my camera bodies.Concentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light's magic colours and your images will stir the soul. - Jack Dykinga
Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography- George Eastman

Re: OP/Tech Pro Straps
Another vote for the Op/Tech straps... I won't be going back now - even if I get to strut with a 5DII strap at some stage :smile:I actively encourage constructive comment & critique of any image I post!
Feel free to edit & re-post as you see fit - but please - tell me what you have done to 'improve' the shot!

Re: OP/Tech Pro Straps
Hi David;
I think the 'Loop' straps are fairly new...They're designed for smaller strap-brackets where getting a standard strap through the bracket is tight...
They look robust enough, but I have the regular standard straps... I don't think I'd worry about attaching them (loop straps) to a regular body; but I wonder if there's a recommended weight limit for them???
Cheers...I actively encourage constructive comment & critique of any image I post!

Re: OP/Tech Pro Straps
Thanks C-F.
Their web site is not really that helpful as both appear to be very similar. The Pro Loop is about £1 dearer which in the scheme of things is nothing and doesn't give a "clue" as to which is better. It appears that they both have the same "loop" system to attach to the camera body.
I have a 50D with my heaviest lens being the 100-400.

EDIT: had another closer look at the Optech site and can now see the difference in the two. It is just that they use the same photo of the two types together. The loop does have a loop of parachute type cord (according to the US site video) whereas the Pro has the strap to attach to the camera.Last edited by djguk47; 27-10-2010, 12:08.David

Re: OP/Tech Pro Straps
Take care with the UTX Stealth style buckles (those plastic clip things). They a) can come undone and b) the webbing can slip .... next time you see a member of the armed forces wearing his/her PLCE ... note that they may have replaced some Stealth buckles with traditional ones.
btw - I've had both a) [nearly lost Nikon F5] and b) [nearly lost my trousers] happen.
My latest Op/Tech is the one without the Stealth style buckles.
