My favorite strap so far

by Randym from on 2010-04-16
Very comfortable, with a neck pad that's wide, but not too wide. The finished edges of the neck pad are much more comfortable than the sharp/rubbery edges of the average neoprene pad.I really like the way you can remove the neck pad and snap the ends together to make a handstrap. I use that feature often - when I put the camera on a tripod, or when I'm using a long lens that has its own strap.The price is excellent - less than half what some straps cost. And it doesn't look cheap at all - quite the opposite.


Top Notch - Wonderful Strap

by Webtrance from on 2010-01-30
Use this with my D90, works perfectly, comfortable, strong, and plain black. It's discrete! Perfect strap for me!


Nothing Special

by LoveStormySes from NJ - USA on 2009-09-17
Its a camera strap... nothing special. I can't even say that I bothered to take it out of the package. Nothing really wrong with it, just wanted a little something more... longer would have been better.


Gets the Job Done - Not Too Springy

by D. Woo from Silicon Valley, USA on 2009-05-31
Unlike many neoprene straps that are too springy, this one has about the right amount of resilience. It's comfortable around your neck and has some "give," but it's not so springy that your DSLR bounces about. The only thing I don't like about this strap is the white "OP/TECH USA" lettering on it. I prefer total stealth but this is far better than the bright yellow lettering on my OEM Nikon strap and more comfortable.


Fantastic Strap

by S. Hoover from Parker, CO on 2009-05-19
I looked at many different straps and reviews before chosing this OP/TECH model for our Canon camera and I couldn't be happier. It is very well made, extremely comfortable, and the price with short shipping time from Willoughbys through Amazon couldn't be matched anywhere.

Excellent Binoculars

by Scott Albrecht from on 2010-08-23
After making a mistake a purchasing a "less expensive" version I was pleased to get these. Fabulous


binocullars

by cowboy from on 2010-08-19
At $28.00 these binoculars were a super buy. They really pull things in close. Just as good as a more expensive pair. Amazon,s shipping was also super


Very good for amateur use

by Gerardino Jose Illescas Alvarado from Guatemala City on 2010-08-10
I am an amateur astronomer and this binoculars get the job done letting you make a non deep observation of the sky at night. It's pretty easy to focus on this ones (and easy to get them out of focus).They include the binoculars (obviously) with their protective caps, a not very soft cleaning cloth, a string for hang them and a bag for carrying.The only complain I have is that after a while they feel slightly heavy, but could be because I point them up to the sky in a tiring manner.

Very comfortable

by E. Mohr from Westminster, MD on 2010-06-14
Much more comfortable than the strap that came with my Canon SLR, and I like that it doesn't have CANON all over it. I've only used it for a short time, so I can't speak to the durability, but so far I am very happy with this neck strap.


Too small to function

by Timothy M. Hughes from Madison, WI United States on 2010-04-22
The photo of this strap makes it look nice but in reality it's too small (unless you are a child). It's about 3/4 the length and width of the stock Canon strap.


MISREPRESENTATION

by kamerakid from Los Angeles, CA on 2010-04-14
This Camera strap by Opteka is far too short. It doesn't even come close to my old Tamarack strap in length.Unlike my old strap, I cannot put it over head and through arm comfortably. It squeezes below and into my arm pit and I am not a heavy person, wearing size medium shirts. It also doesn't have quick releases so that I could have added on an extender, which itself would be a rip off since I thought I was paying for a normal size strap and this would encumber an additional expense. How can I return this strap if I've lost the original packaging ?

Excellent opera glasses

by A. G. Miller from Newtown, PA, US on 2010-06-04
My new Bushnell Powerview 12X25 binoculars are excellent. They fit in a pocket and are totally adjustable and keep their focus. I use them for getting great views at the theatre and the ball game.


I can't focus it well.

by Mark from on 2010-05-16
However I tried and followed the direction, I get a blurred image and it tires my eyes out. If I close one eye and look, the image is good, but when look with both eyes, the image is very blurred and it hurts my eyes. I can't really use it for anything. I don't know why.


Nothing to rave about

by Capt Barb from North Carolina on 2010-04-02
You get what you pay for. These were very inexpensive and not all that great.


Bad then Good

by HPL from Cols, OH on 2010-03-09
When my binoc arrived, the optics were terrible. Vertical disintegration, no way to correct. Returned and exchanged and this pair is perfect. 12x is fine for my hands and the view is great. I miss my Minoltas (does anyone know where they went?), but these will do and the price is more than right.


Two lenses will not focus into one picture

by Robert Dickinson from Covington, In United States on 2010-02-09
Bought these as Christmas gift for my spouse, and right after Christmas we took a motorhome trip, not testing them until we were on the road. We both did everything possible to get the left and right sides to come together as one picture but to our great disappointment nothing helped. Although rated highly on Amazon by other customers, this was a defective pair of binoculars. Problem now is that we were on the road for over 30 days and now it's too late to return them for a full refund.

Black Rapid RS7 Strap

by Richard S. Sobieski from on 2010-08-26
The RS7 strap is an improvement over the earlier model, in that it has a built-in curve for a more comfortable fit. I don't have a need for the Joey accessory (a pouch for cell phone or spare chip), but the underarm strap might be worthwhile at a mere 16 bucks. At times when I bring the camera (Canon EOS SLR), the strap shifts. The added strap might help this. I would like to have seen a roller in the part that slides up and down to make it smoother. That might help reduce the friction and riding up. There are times when the original strap may work better for certain situations, so I carry both.I have it adjusted so the camera hangs upside down on my right back pocket area. I can reach down with my right hand, grabbing the camera by its grip, so it's ready to shoot when it comes up to the eye. Very fast.Great product, well-designed.


Pretty good but could be better

by Chris Nibley from bangkok on 2010-08-07
I was an infantryman in the Marine Corps for 8 years and as such I am used to walking around all day with all kinds of things attached to, and hanging from, my body. So it was a big surprise to me when I got into photography how incredibly awkward and uncomfortable it is to walk around with a camera! I have a D300s which usually has a 16-85 or 70-300 attached, and compared to a flak jacket, ammo pouches, canteens, a rifle, and a host of other worthless stuff should be a piece of cake to carry around. Unfortunately it's always digging into my ribs, bouncing all over the place, swinging wildly if I bend or lean over - I mean it really takes the fun out of my hobby.The Rapid Strap is based on the one-point, assault rifle slings that I am so used to and does a pretty good job of keeping my camera out of the way until needed. The problem that I have with it is two-fold: Firstly, it's way overpriced. There really isn't much to this thing and in my opinion it shouldn't be more than 40 bucks. My next problem is that it's actually too complex. When I first started seeing one-point rifle slings about 6 or 7 years ago they looked a lot like the rapid strap, with a bunch of buckles and fasteners and different straps. As time went on though, the designs became more and more simple until finally we were left with nothing but a nylon encased loop of bungy cord that clipped to the back of the rifle. This has become the standard sling for people who know what they're doing in the military, and it would make carrying a camera even easier. I hope somebody makes it soon.


great solution for long days

by kevin from Northwest on 2010-08-06
have been using op tech (really like the neoprene neck pad) but after a 10 hr day shooting auto races with the BR, I will be retiring my Op tech straps. I will be picking up a few more 3rd gen ConnectR-2 and FastenR-2's and fabricating some straps using my old op tech straps.This is a great solution for long days and fairly heavy kit.


Amazing comfort ... but heavy lenses need lock!!!!

by Is5410 from Rochester, NY on 2010-08-03
A friend bought one and let me borrow it. I was very sure that I wanted it and was going to buy the ladies version.The good: 1. Comfort and Design - The camera rests on the hip just as advertized. It is so comfortable for walking and the camera is ready to shoot! 2. Works with hook on the bottom of the Manfrotto RC2 plateThe bad: Because of how the camera hangs, my current Nikon 18-200 VR walk-about lens hangs down. This lens doesn't have a lock and it keeps extending. Since I don't want to buy a new lens just to use this strap, I am not going to be buying this strap (or the ladies version). I would have never known until trying it. If your lens doesn't have a lock and it extends when hanging down and in motion, this will be a problem.


Favorite accessory

by Peter Drier from New York, NY United States on 2010-07-28
Quite literally my favorite camera purchase in recent memory. I'm carrying around my camera much more now, and hesitate less with the heavier lenses. A full day's shooting (12+ hrs) doesn't leave my arm dead any longer. I'm seriously considering getting a second one for dual body situations.

Works BUT fabric is scratchy and rough on skin

by Joy Crampton from Texas on 2010-06-28
I bought this strap to replace a Nikon strap for a D90, 50mm lens, and the heavy SB900 speedlite. OP's strap DRASTICALLY reduced fatigue and pressure, making the camera feel less than half its weight.It does this by combining a wide, thick neoprene piece and stiff elastic sewed onto it. You get "goosh" from the neoprene, and just the right amount of "give" from the elastic.HOWEVER, the neoprene/elastic section is at the top / in the middle of the strap, and is about 10 inches long (in the sample photo, the neoprene section is the larger/wider part) . The rest of the strap (the two sides that are skinny in the photo) is a rough nylon-type fabric, with plastic clips to quickly attach/detach the strap from the camera.I am female, so I frequently use the camera when wearing a scoopneck blouse where part of my upper chest, back, or shoulders are exposed. The nylon fabric was soo rough and scratchy to my skin, that I could hardly bear the strap longer than 10 minutes before my skin felt raw everwhere it was rubbing. The neoprene and elastic section was so comfortable I wish they would have just made the entire strap out of that.To salvage my purchase, I used a sewing seam ripper to disassemble the strap, and sewed the comfy neoprene strip onto my original Nikon strap. This was a perfect compromise. It was not quite as good as the original due to being unable to use the stretchy elastic section. However, the OP strap would have been otherwise unusable because of how horribly it rubbed my skin. Thankfully, the neoprene strip sewed onto my Nikon strap is awesome - I have worn it for two 2hr shoots, and it was very comfortable.I wouldn't expect a guy to have any problem with the strap, because men's shirts cover the skin all the way up to the neck, so the roughness of the material would not be an issue. If you are a guy, you will love the strap! If you a girl, perhaps try something else, or remake the strap like I did, or plan to always wear shirts that cover you completely to the neck.I gave it two stars because it would be completely unusable to me as it is (1 star), but since I was able to take it apart and use part of it very nicely, it gets one more star.


Comfortable

by P. Braun from East coast on 2010-06-13
I have a Canon DSLR. I've always hated the neck strap that comes with it. It's so uncomfortable and hurts my neck. This op/Tech Pro is just the opposite. I can actually wear it around my neck with out ending up with a sore neck. It's also long enough for me to wear it sling style and still be able to lift it up to take a picture. The quick release comes in handy when using a tripod. Love this strap.


Great USA made product!

by T. J. Yarbrough from Fl. USA on 2010-05-20
The Op/Tech Pro Camera strap exceeded my expectations. The product is well made and works as advertised. I use the shoulder strap on my Nikon D300s. It distributes the camera weight evenly over the shoulder so there is no shoulder fatigue. The strap is designed not to slip off the shoulder. I used the Nikon OEM factory strap and carried my camera for a day in Epcot Orlando. The next morning I thought I was beat across the shoulders with a bat. I ordered the Op/Tech Pro after a week of research online. The price was right and the reviews looked good. After receiving the camera strap I went to Disney's Magic Kingdom. The strap was comfortable, never slipped off my shoulder. I had no shoulder pain the next day and would recommend this camera strap for anyone who carries a DSLR or SLR. The strap has an added bonus in that it will convert to a wrist strap for added convenience.


very good for the price.

by Humberto Elenes from on 2010-03-08
Very nice for the price, If you have a heavy camera you must have it.


Comfortable to Wear

by Dobes Rule! from Utah on 2010-03-07
Purchased this strap before taking trips to Mount Rushmore & Yellowstone. My wife & I both found it to be comfortable to wear while out on walking & hiking trails. I would purchase this strap again.

Great for heavy binoculars

by M. L. WALLACE from Denver, CO USA on 2010-08-18
I use this harness to carry a pair of 12x50 binoculars on one side and a field guide or field bag on the other. The design allows one side to counter balance the other. You can carry a fairly heavy load and hardly notice the weight as long as you have something on both sides. If you have only one heavy item, consider the OP/TECH Utility Sling Strap.


good deal

by Alex Ho from on 2010-02-17
I purchased this dual strap as opposed to the other alternatives because it was a way better deal.The other dual camera straps are a lot pricier. I have never tried the other ones so i cant really compare and say how much better this one is but i also modified the strap to make it work the way i wanted it to.[...].


op-tech dual harness

by Dale Gustafson from Sequim, WA USA on 2009-12-08
this harness does what I expected it to do. I can carry a DSLR camera on one side and binoculars on the other with ease. The shoulder harness does not slip as long as the chest strap is fastened. At times I use a Holdsr on the chest strap to carry the camera so it doesn't dangle and slip my binoculars in a pocket for the same reason. Both are easily within reach and this was what I was looking for.

Just right for hiking

by Flat_Tire from Washington State, USA on 2009-10-30
Pluses: small, lightweight, inexpensive.Minuses: dim, surprisingly bad optics.Understand that when you buy glasses this cheap, small, and light you're not getting premium optics. The barrel distortion (off-center straight lines appear curved) is very pronounced. But for hiking these are just right. The outdoor light overcomes the problem of dimness and, really, who cares about distortion? To be able to carry something this small and lightweight and not care if something happens to it outweighs the downside. It doesn't look very tough so I'm carrying it in a little plastic box.


Good all round

by Charles from San Diego on 2009-05-30
Durable, clear view, very light, pretty powerful for their size, very compact. I've used these while camping for extended periods and basic day trips. The magnification isn't mind blowing, but definitely helps. No real complaints that I can think of, but I'm not a big expert on binos. I wish they were more powerful and still the same size and weight, but pretty sure I'd have to shell out more cash. Bang for buck I'm pretty darn happy.


Where price, style, value and portability meet!

by Dmitry Kristal from Brooklyn, NY United States on 2008-07-19
Olympus Roamer is a great choice for anyone who is looking to get a decent pair of binoculars that is portable, provides good performance and will not burn a hole in their wallet.The Good:Compatible: Great for sporting events. It will not take up a lot of space.Stylish: Silver-style finish gives it a sleek look.UV-Protection: It claims to give you UV Protection. I'm no UV expert, but I'm guessing its a good thing.The Bad:Doesn't provide the advanced features of the deluxe binoculars, but it is still a great bang for your buck.Bottom Line: A great set for those who are looking for their first pair of binoculrs for sporting events, opera shows and other short-medium range close-up viewing. While these are a great for recreational activities, these will probably not going to be an ideal buy for the professionals.


good for the $

by S. Lauria from NY on 2008-07-17
These binoculars are lightweight and well made. Excellent optics but field of vision is limited due to small size. Good for sporting events, theater or getting visually close to anything that can be first found with the naked eye.


Not for those with close eye spacing

by Metallurgist Critic from Northern California on 2007-12-30
I am a 5'4" woman and I am not able to adjust the eye spacing to my eyes. I do believe I have eyes that are closer together than the average. But my 15 year old Nikon binoculars adjust to me. These would not work for young children or people with closely spaced eyes.

GREAT BINOCULARS FOR A LITTLE MONEY

by Susan K. Haynes from Paris, Texas USA on 2010-09-01
I bought these binoculars after reading so many positive reviews about them, and they do not disappoint. They're perfect for backyard bird or butterfly watching. Images are sharp and clear. I needed something light to hold because I am recovering from a broken shoulder, and can't hold anything heavy for long. These are PERFECT for my needs.


Work perfectly, smell bad

by Erica from on 2010-08-28
I'm pleased with the quality of these. They emit a strong, unpleasant chemical smell, though. Not that big a deal for my purposes, but I wouldn't want to use them daily.


poor optics alignment

by Aiden from on 2010-08-28
the unit i received showed double images which make the binocular useless... no eye adjustment/focus could bring the two images together. build material was acceptable.


Fits the bill

by Annette L. Desrocher from on 2010-08-15
These binoculars were purchased for the purpose of bird watching in my back yard. I did not want to spend a lot of money on something that was not going to be used all the time. They have worked out beautifully.....


Fun and small

by Funwithgames from on 2010-08-11
Excellent buy. I received these binos a few days ago and I use them mostly for looking at animals and insects in my backyard from a safe distance. I found them surprisingly small and lightweight for the amount of magnification I got out of them. I have small hands and they are pretty much palm sized. The cups on the lens you look into can be folded and unfolded. It also comes with a little carrying pouch. The strap is thin, a bit like a shoestring attached to binoculars. I love the feature where you can adjust the eye seperately to match the other side. Make sure you read the instructions it comes with to do that correctly. One of the best low price buys I've ever made on Amazon hightly recommend these.

Focusing quality not consistent

by A. Cabrera from USA on 2006-08-12
I ordered two of this Barska Lucid 16x32 Compact Binocular. External appearance is good although a bit small. The focusing quality is inconsistent: One focused fairly well, the other did not.
