Review: No reason to complain about this purchase - I received this product today, on time and excellently packed. The sling at first glance is very well made and sturdy. I quickly read through the instruction and well, starting looking at the things people were crying about in the reviews. I will go through each one in a minute. With in 1 minute the sling was attached to my DSLR, the strap was adjusted and I mastered the sling, folks it doesn't get any easier than this. First the loop connecters are great, no buckles to come loose. The snap-in connecters on the handi loop are super strong, they won't go anywhere or come undone. I adjusted the length to where the right side of the camera body where the connection is made is hanging just at my waist, I can go another two inches lower but then it would be in my pocket. Where it is resting I can allow my right hand to semi-rest on the body as my hand was in my pocket. Nice and comfy. Folks I am a stout man that wears XXL T shirts with a 50'' chest and this sling fits me fine. Bringing the camera to my eye and NOTHING gets in the way. It glides up smooth as butter every time. Now (ladies I am sorry) The front strap buckle if used right handed will be in the center of your chest right in the cleavage. You can move it some up or down but for the most comfy fit it was there on me. A smaller person it may fit differently. Works fine with my back pack. If you want to and it can be done but it takes away for the proper use of the strap but can let it hang in front of you. Not sure why anyone would do this though. Two things you need to get use to. 1. the camera dangling at your waist or side. I am use to it snug on my chest or in my hand with wrist strap. Resting your hand it helps. This is an easy thing to overcome. 2. attaching the handi loop to the right side of the camera. Can't turn the camera on end with right side up with out moving the handi loop buckle out of the way. No big deal to me but will take some getting use too. 3. Only had it for one day. I will put it through its paces and report any problems or things that might annoy people. Now about the cons some reviewers posted 1. the extra handi loop, really? It does not have to dangle. Here is what I Did. I used the lowest loop for the camera. I look the other loop and pulled it to the top buckle. I put the loop through the gap between the buckle and the strap then pulled it over the buckle (just like attaching it to the camera) Whammo it is out of the way, not dangling, pulled tight and I have an extra loop with me all the time. That took about 45 seconds to figure out. 2. The buckle gets in the way of the eye piece. How? Only if you turn the looped end up to take an inverted picture. Easy to fix, turn the left side up instead of to the right. I will have to get use to that myself but hey it's not hard. 3. only attaches to one point. Won't work well attached at both camera loops, not designed to. This system blows away any two point camera strap. Can't believe I never went this way before. 4. doesn't work left handed. Yes it does. Here is what I did. I put the handi-loop on the left side of the camera instead of the right. Now the little slide buckle that was on the back for a righty is now in front, soooo slide it all the way up to the shoulder buckle and it is a perfect fit. It comes to the eye perfectly and NOTHING is in the way. 5. The OP/Tech USA Logo on the shoulder strap. It isn't that big so It doesn't bother me, yet. I don't advertise for free. If it bothers you take a black sharpie and trace it out. Problem solved. 6. Doesn't work if using a back pack. yes it does. The strap goes over your shoulders and over the BP straps. I don't see the problem and It worked fine for me.
Review: Very good, economical sling for light to medium weight dSLR. - I considered the Luma Loop-IT before finally buying this sling-strap. The Luma Loop has a custom metal detachable connector that is undoubtedly stronger than the plastic connectors found on this Op/Tech sling. Unfortunately, the smaller Luma Loop-IT doesn't have a shoulder pad, which is really nice (much nicer than I expected for the price) on this Op/Tech sling. The full-sized Luma Loop does have a shoulder pad, but it is also VERY expensive (in my opinion). So I ended up buying this sling-strap to shoulder my Sony Alpha A33 and am quite happy with it. Even though the connectors are plastic, they feel reasonably strong and have very positive engagement. The neoprene shoulder pad is very comfortable. I wore my Alpha for three straight consecutive days at Disney World with no problems at all. Whenever I sat down for a ride, the camera sat nicely in my lap. If I thought that I was going to be lightly splashed with water, I just pulled my T-shirt tail over the camera. If, however, you're on a soaker ride like Splash Mountain or Kali River Rapids, pull out the 1 gallon Zip-Lock bag that you remembered to put in your pocket ahead of time and close the zipper up around the strap tail. No, it's not completely water proof, but with the camera in the bag and on my lap under my T-shirt tail, it stays safe and completely dry. Along with this sling, I bought an extra strap (Op/Tech Part 1301242) to modify for left-hand use. Basically I carefully cut the stitching at both ends and reversed the connectors and re-sewed the ends closed around the swapped connectors again. Now I can wear my camera on my left side with this modified strap. The advantage here is that the connector on the camera is on the left side instead of on the grip side. This keeps it out of the way and much less obtrusive when holding the camera up near my face. Plus, being right handed, I can now use my left hand to steady the camera at my side while walking which keeps my right hand free for other things. To bring the camera up for a shot, I just hold the lens with my left hand which is natural for me anyway. I find this "left handed" arrangement much easier to use than the stock "right handed" way. I will probably never wear the camera right handed again, so in the end, I didn't need the extra strap to modify, I could have just modified the strap that came with the sling. Overall I am very happy with this sling, especially after modifying it for left-hand use. For the price, I think that it is tough to beat. Oddly, some people have complained in other reviews about the extra connector that Op/Tech puts on the strap. If you have no intentions of using it and feel like it's in the way, just cut it off with a pair of diagonal wire cutters, or with a hack-saw. In my case, since I took the ends off to reverse my strap, I just slid the extra connector off of the sling before re-sewing the ends.

このストラップは重量級カメラには最適と思います。ニコンD850へ装着していますが、前モデルはネオプレーン部（胴体の太い部分）の縁取りがなくむき出しだったので、首や肩でこすれると劣化してポロポロと落ちてきました。今回のモデルはキチンと縁取りがされており快適に使用できます。重量級のカメラとレンズ使用時には重量が分散され首、肩への負担が少ないので重宝しています。また、購入したいと思います。
