I am looking of getting a very good camera strap that can take the load of my Canon 30D camera with a Canon BGE2 battery grip and also a Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS lens.I am actually debebating between camera straps made by either OpTech or Lowepro.For those of you out there who have had any experiences with both OpTech and Lowepro camera straps,which among the two brands do you personally prefer?
THANKS.


Michael Y.

go for the Lowepro.. :D

Both optech and Lowepro have good qualities. Anyways, I have a Lowepro neoprene for my wife's D50 and a Tamrac boomerang for my D80. Try considering Tamrac. It's hard to find Lowepro straps even in hidalgo. For Lowepro, check the Transporter.

:)

I am using the optech for my 30D and a Lowepro for my 20D, I really prefer the Lowepro I got it from Henrys in Hidalgo

What model of the Lowepro camera strap did you get?
Thanks.

Michael Y.

I use optech. It makes the camera feel lighter around your neck.

Op Tech is nice comfortable because the neoprene is quite wide but the Tamrac has a cf holder attached to the strap you can buy Tamrac at JT.

hello michael,, went to hidalgo the other day to buy me some lowepro neckstrap,, sadly,, out of stock sya sa henry's,, so i bought a tamrac boomerang neckstrap at watson at Php1,100.00 ( it's slightly cheaper,, lowepro goes for Php1,200.00 in henry's ) i like tamrac neckstrap because it does the job,, and it has a CF/SD card holder on both side of the strap.. but between the two ( optech and lowepro ) i go for Lowepro anytime,, hope this helps,, goodluck with your purchase:)

I use Optech straps for my cameras and they work fine. Really a big help specially on long shoots.

I use Optech straps for both my 30D/1.4 TC/400mm lens and the 350/1.4 TC/300mm lens. The straps do seem to make weight of the cameras/lens lighter.

:Grin: Or maybe it's just my guni-guni :Grin:

anybody here knows wer can i buy optech strap? :D

Infomax at Megamall Cyberzone and maybe in Parksquare.:)

alright thanks ralf :)

there's one too at henry's hidalgo though same price in cyberzone mega Php 1,800.00,,

:Grin: Or maybe it's just my guni-guni :Grin:

no, it's not,, :)

@michael,, i suggest you buy those rubber-like neckstrap,, yung medyo elastic,, coz i saw some tamrac neckstrap on mayer that is not elastic like the tamrac boomerang and optech straps,,

I use Optech straps for both my 30D/1.4 TC/400mm lens and the 350/1.4 TC/300mm lens. The straps do seem to make weight of the cameras/lens lighter.

Hey Tina, I'm sure those Optech straps are really helping support your 2 birding set-ups. :) When did you get the 30D?

I use Optech Pro-loop straps which I got in Singapore. Comes out to P930 per strap.

Never tried the Lowepro nor the Tamrac straps. I use Optech and it's good enough for me. It's light and I like the feel of it. :)

Tried the neoprene neckstraps of Tamrac...

Comments: Good support and easy on the neck reduces the pain of having your camera hanging round your neck the whole day...funny thing is it tends to smell maasim after your sweat is absorbed by the neoprene and the metal buckles corrode too. Kakatakot mahulog yung cam pag naging maruppok yung buckle.

So now i just stick to the good old nikon straps supplied with my camera...or might be interested with the Domke gripper....maybe...just maybe...domke's stick well to your shoulder even on a light run....

I just use the slim Canon black and grey straps supplied with the early EOS film slrs. Light, slim, and it doesn't say Canon Digital.

Lowepro for me...bought it at my recent trip sa Japan(BIC Camera) for PhP700.00.
I never tried the Tamrac or optech straps though.

i have lowepro neoprene strap.

pros: comfortable on the neck. good feel of textures and lightweight.

cons: the buckles gets easily being rusty. also, the straps on the camera part (not with the quick release strap) can easily be slipped from the buckle if you didn't secure it properly by looping the ends back to it. it happened to me twice and luckily my camera didn't fell off to the ground.

I've been using Optech for more than a year now. It makes your gear feels lighter & comfortable. Unlike the ones that goes w/ the camera parang na sun burn ka sa hapdi. I got mine from Info max around P1,500 (i guess).

I'm also shopping for one but I prefer a narrower neoprene strap with anti slip rubber grips, a strip of leather or similar material to keep the neoprene from stretching too much, and a simple strap and fix buckles instead of flimsy quick release ones - which brand and model fits the bill?

Try Tamrac camera straps. I guess they are being brought in by JT Photo, they have a booth in Photoworld. You''ll have a wide range of selection there & a 10% discount to go w/ it.

i'm using optech but i've been looking for the lowepro straps. where can i buy one? i tried the shops at hidalgo and infomaxx they don't have it

I vote for Optech with the durable plastic mounts - prevents scratching the body and very secure. I use it with the K10D and Bronica ETRS.

There was a booth that sold a wide selection of Lowepro bags to straps. They ran out of straps at Photoworld .. but they have a store. Here's the add of the card I got from them:

VET SPECIALISTS
Sampaguita Pictures Compound
27 Granada St QC
Tel: 7239028 / 7239029

yeah i was able to go there but like you said, they ran out nga.. oh great i know where to find them! hehe thanks alan!

Try Avenue Photo, they have neoprene straps with quick-release function. Also visit our website at http://EchoStore.Echografika.com
(http://echostore.echografika.com/)
Currently, we have the Nikon straps, and we are waiting for replenishment soon.

Strap goes for P 950/pc with free courier for Metro Manila orders

i use tamrac boomerang type straps... i'm quite happy with it, it has no metal buckles and so far di pa naman napapawisan... hehe

i used to use the optech straps. yes, it does feel lighter but i got rid of it.

there were times during a shoot where i had to run and my gear was bouncing hard because of the strap so i removed it and fastened the quick release buckles that were attached to the camera.

i use domke.

i suggest you try out the strap that you'll want to use. especially if the slr body and lens is heavy.

the boomerang looks nice.

Hey Tina, I'm sure those Optech straps are really helping support your 2 birding set-ups. :) When did you get the 30D?

I use Optech Pro-loop straps which I got in Singapore. Comes out to P930 per strap.

Oooops sorry TJ now lang I saw this. Got it December 2006 right before our US trip (body only).

I recently tried the Tamrac straps with the CF card thingie that are attached to both sides of the straps. Hmmmmmm I STILL prefer the optech Pro-Loop straps for all my stuff. I like kasi the feature wherein you have a choice of shortening the straps by removing the second part of the strap.

Carrying two cameras with long lenses is no joking matter di ba... specially for a woman. What I do is hang the main camera around my neck and the other one (the one w/o the second half of the optech pro-loop strap) I sling around my right arm so that I can still take pictures without worrying that my other camera might fall off or something.

Another thing that I do is whenever I am not using the camera, I keep both cameras with the short straps lang and attach the 2nd part of the straps to my camera bag and attach them back to the camera when I have to use them na again.

Galing talaga ng Pro-loop strap ng Optech - hindi pa ako stock holder ng Op-Tech nyan ha ... super promote na ako ha :D That's how much I like the Optech Pro-loop straps.

Anyone else using Camera Armor's Tough Strap?

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-46602444218253_1938_192989

Looks cool Florencio, where did you get that strap?

I myself use Optech and the Tamrac neoprene straps. They both do their jobs well and reduce weight and strain on your neck and shoulder. I slightly go for the Optech thogh because its easier to switch orientation with that strap. Its just that the Tamrac strap often falls in front of the VF when switching from horizontal to vertical, its annoying how much you move the strap around. The Optech simply is better in use IMO.

optech straps with weightn reduction system :) perfect for my 5D with 70-200L IS. big difference!!!

@Vince,

Las Vegas. as a freebie. Hand grip comes free with it too. Ring attachments to the camera, unlike the oem strap, that slips into the loops.

where can i buy Op tech?

Optech can be bought at any Infomax stores :)

@Vince, saw the Camera Armor Tough Strap w/ Safe Grip now being sold at InfoMaxx (Mega) for 2.2k (May armor din yung 400D doon, di ko na lang tinanong baka mapabili pa ako haay)

anyone know where you can buy camera straps with funky designs here in the philippines?
i remember seeing a photographer and her camera strap had a mickey mouse design on it.. hehe

I just got the Kata Reflex C camera strap for my Canon 40D and it's really great.I have tried the Lowepro Voyager c,Voyager s,Transporter,OpTech Pro Loop,and Tamrac Boomerang camera straps.Amongts all of them I prefer the Kata Reflex C.If I had to rank them in order,I would rank the Kata number 1,the Optech a close second,the Lowepro a distant third,and the Tamrac fourth.

Hi, has anyone tried using Pacsafes carrysafe 100? Is it available here? How much?:)

TIA

Thanks Arthur , yup I guess you are right .

Optech believer here. But i'd like to see the Kata in person. :)

I just bought myself a Skooba Superbungee.

Currently using the stock Nikon strap, however I'm looking at the Pacsafe or the upcoming Crumpler Industry Disgrace as an upgrade.

I just bought myself a Skooba Superbungee.

where did you get yours? and for how much?

@Jerome: I bought it from a local store (www.vistek.ca (http://www.vistek.ca)); unfortunately, I'm not based in the Philippines.

@Allan: It is comfortable! I am a little weary at its strength because it seem so "lightweight", especially when I put on my largest lens.

I would still like to see the new Crumpler straps when they become available, they look nice, but I have to see if the underside of the pad has a non-slip material. I prefer it didn't because I always sling my camera across my body instead of having it hang from my neck.

@arthurlegardo:

The "crumpler" print on the bottom side of the strap is made of grippy material, based on the tech specs in the website. Also saw this feature advertised on youtube.

Check the Voyager-S Lowepro

Im in search for replacement straps for old manual cams, so weight isn't that big of an issue, but width is... any recommendations for light and thin straps?

saw the kata reflex c selling for 900++ at island photo in moa.

i use the reflex c. i like it. i just wish it was thinner, like the original nikon/canon straps. i can just fold those up in a small bag.

I am using this with my Nikon D60. It has locking clips, stainless steel wires along its entire length, neoprene covers for the plastic and metal parts, etc.

Very good functionality and value. Got it for P1k only!

By the time I saw Pacsafes carrysafe in one of our malls, I already got myself the Optech ProLoop Strap. :Grin:

The crumpler looks nice. I wonder when will it be available here?

i've been using the lowepro neoprene strap but took out the metal buckle right after i bought it since im afraid that it will scratch the camera body. its light weight but it tends to stretch out too much for me when i mount my nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VR lens on my camera. Ive been wanting to get my hands on an Optech Pro Loop but when i saw the Crumpler strap here in the forum! dang! i wanna get one of those! :Grin:

The Crumpler straps are now available (online directly from Crumpler). I will hold off muna, I want to see them in person before I buy.

i'm seriously eyeing the new invicta x1 strap by echostore.

Diego,

If you do end up buying one, let me know how the strap performs. Interested in getting a new strap as well.

sure. I'll check it out next week.

Do check this out Invicta X1 (http://echografika.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=27)

Lowepro classic! :D i love mine

I just picked up a Crumpler Industry Disgrace camera strap in the camo print. The Crumpler logo on the underside of the padded area isn't as grippy as on other straps , which in my case was a plus. A nice surprise was that the strap was quite long. I wear my camera across my body and with this strap I was able to get my camera at about hip level. This strap is a keeper.

On a sidenote, I cannot recommend the Skooba Superbungee strap that I posted about earlier. When removing the Skooba to install the Crumpler strap, a small tug caused the Skooba strap to come undone from the eyelet. I would hate to think what would have happened if I were standing up and the camera was around my neck! I think the problem lies with the webbing, it is too fine/smooth and there is not enough friction to hold a heavy camera and lens. Owners of this strap, be careful!

No sir...thankfully, because I prefer not to have one on the strap. In the back of my mind I am thinking that one hit in the right way, no matter how remote the possibility of that happening...there goes my camera and lens.

im using optech brand. i like it. it somehow balance the load of the camera from your shoulder.

i am using also an optech usa camera strap for my 450d. i like it, as compared to the original canon camera strap that was bundled with the 450d kit.

i tried out the invicta the other day and it's bar none the most awesome strap i've tried. beats kata, optech, lowepro, tamrac in my opinion. getting one this week.

that's sweet diego, mine's gonna be delivered tomorrow c/o echo store

where can we find one? approx. how much, if you don't mind.

Anybody got the pacsafe carrysafe 100 strap, could you check how many square loops are included? I just got mine, and when i was putting it on, i noticed that it only has one square loop at one end of the strap, the other end has no square loop, only a round metal ring.

congrats dude. you should check out brian's/echostore's xwraps too. they're uber useful.

my invicta x1 just arrived this morning, looks good, feels sturdy but smooth, will try it out once i get home

that smooth patch or leather brown area is great for the using over the shoulder

what i like about it the most is that it's thin! i hated how bulky these other ones are, no matter how much they reduced weight. once i'd try to fold up the strap when i want to put them in the bag, they'd take up so much space

Diego, thinking about ordering this strap also. Did it come with the pop-up flash diffuser?

yup it does

yup it does

Coolness then! I'll place an order too. :Grin:

how is it? comfy enough? i asked the sales lady in crumpler trinoma and she said they might have stock in June.

It is quite comfortable. I didn't want anything bulky, that's why I initially went with a Skooba Superbungee, luckily the Crumpler is only bulky only where it needs to be (right around the neck area).

im gonna get me self an invicta soon...im sooo convinced with the reviews...


was getting the kata but the news about the invicta made me think...plus i realized that it might be hard to stuff the kata in my bag...

actually okay lang the pocket for CF if you don't use a case

How's the Invicta man?

on second thought the crumpler looks big i might have a hard time fitting it inside my 5million home bag. :(

Big? In what way? The pad easily folds into thirds.

How's the Invicta man?

love it. great weight reduction, feels real secure. it's slimmer and more compact than the others which is a plus for packing in a bag. i like that it has a patch of suede for grip, it doesn't slip when i put it on my shoulder. the strap's removable too with release buckle

Just got the Pacsafe strap earlier today. Very happy with it. Maybe when I have a heavier setup, then I'll consider a real weight reduction strap, but for my purposes and lightweight kit for travel, the Pacsafe gets top marks from me.

optech pro loop user just now... weight reduction easily felt...

just got my optech pro loop today will test it out tomorrow :Grin:

The Camera Armor Tough Strap I've had for more than a year for my 400D pala has not just two, but three metal wires through it's strap, ala PacStrap... didn't realize it till now.

also has a crumpler industry disgrace as a strap. it felt pretty ok

Got my new Lowepro Voyager S & Voyager C today:)

Also liked the Lowepro straps. I have the Transporter and the Voyager C. Got both from Pastor Dave T!

under 1k? i think you'll be having a hard time finding one which is of really good quality and yet, goes for under 1k. try to look at the op/tech pro loop camera strap... they really make a difference over the stock camera strap which came with my dslr. but out of curiosity, i'd also like to try the invicta x1 camera strap.. see if it distributes the weight better than my op/tech. having said that, i've been using my op/tech for a month now and so far, i've got no complaints. :)

Do visit our website (http://echostore.echografika.com)
We have many innovative photographic accessories, gears and tools

the invicta is a great product, it really does help in distributing the weight.

You can try the distributor's store (VET Specialist) in Sampaguita Compoun along Gilmore. I think they sell it for Php1,250.:Grin: Henry's in Hidalgo might have as well.

Crumpler straps are already available at Megamall (and possibly others stores as well). They go for around P1,350. Saw stocks of black and camouflage ones when I bought my 7 Million Dollar Home yesterday. Didn't buy one though because my D40 and kitlens combo is still light enough to be supported comfortably by the stock Nikon strap.

What store in Megamall? TIA

Crumpler sir. Their new stocks just arrived. Might be the same with other branches...

Black Crumpler Industry Disgrace, bought in HK for $165 or around PHP 1000

Black Crumpler Industry Disgrace, got mine in high street... P1350

[quote=johnpaulsiochi;442092]Black Crumpler Industry Disgrace, got mine in high street... P1350[/quote

got mine last sat afternoon... :)

So, how are the crumplers? I'm still undecided on which straps to get. Way too many choices. :Dum:

I love mine, it is very comfortable both on my shoulder or around my neck. I also attach mine in a fashion similar to this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/arkku/1335553912/

where the end of the strap is sandwiched in the loop. However, I run the end in through the rectangular plastic ring. The Crumpler Industry Disgrace is the only strap that I have owned that allows for this.

sir wilson, feels great... less stress on my neck and shoulders... get the black one, less "Libag" hahaha... just kidding... :)

Wow! Congratz on the Crumpler straps! Its quite a wait but worth it! :Grin:

optechloop. the best. quality and feel.

I'm now torn between the Invicta and Optech.

Invicta owners,

The loop seems flimsy. Should I be worried that it might snap easily?

its not as flimsy as it looks, its actually wrapped around the hard plastic buckle and not just sewn in between the leather.

I'm using PacSafe for my 40D+70-200, and Optech for my trusty 10D+17-40.

Pacsafe isn't ergonomically fitted IMHO but the sturdy built, security feature kept it indispensable for me.

So no complaints about the strap?:)

TAMRAC?

LOWEPRO?

or CRUMPLER?

@richard - Crumpler makes camera straps?

Anyone know where we can buy Optech pro-loop replacement loops? Just the ones that connect to the caemra itself, not the whole neoprene thing. Mine are starting to wear out after more than a year of hard use...

OT: on that note, maybe you know where Optech Rainsleeves are sold as well? :Grin:

@richard - Crumpler makes camera straps?

Yup there is a Crumpler Straps it is called Crumpler Industry Disgrace

http://photogeek.tv/Pages/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/ct22150.jpg

and this is the site: https://www.crumplerbags.com/flash/flash.aspx#/english/product-details/industry-disgrace-id02a.html

Got myself a black Industry Disgrace. Feels a lot comfortable than my default strap. Now i don't have to flip my screaming yellow Nikon strap if I would like to be inconspicuous ... like a chunky DSLR isn't :RedEye:

Kinda overpriced though IMHO.

How much was it? Available in the crumpler stores?

Crumpler Disgrace Industry sells php1350, kinda overpriced! yes its available at the crumpler stores. I wanted to buy one sana.. but already have one Tamrac Boomerang bought at mayer last week, which I am thinking if going to replace it because of a wide contour of the strap. medyo istorbo kahit comfortable.. hehe :D maybe someone here is interested on my Boomerang. :D

The crumpler looks pretty wide too and hopefully can support a lot of gear on your nexk without having too much pressure concentrated in a few spots... Thinking of using it with a D300+grip+sigma 70-200mm....

Will take a look tomorrow probably... :Grin:

Are the quick release buckles/hardware on straps such as Optech, Tamrac, Invicta, and others secure? Anybody had experiences wherein they accidentally released? Most of the good designs have these and I am having difficult deciding because of the fear of them becoming undone at the worst possible time.

Feel the same way about the Optech pro-loops so I added quick release zip-ties to the buckles. When I need it, the zip-ties just have a small latch I need to press for easy removal.

I think I am crazy! I just switched from a neckstrap to a grip/hand strap only!

I have Lowepro Transporter Strap. I figured I got it together with the slingshot. It looks like its good.

nothing like a black rapid strap. www.blackrapid.com

Saw the video lol they are funny. But the strap is good though. I like that you swing it from the hips.

Im now torn between the Crumpler and Invicta... How do both straps compare?

Go with the one that feels more comfortable to you.

i'm using a CQB gun strap ala rapid strap :D

Crumpler and the 90th year aniv nikon strap.

I cant see them both but I might go for the Crumpler because it's prettier :)

Yes, But the Crumpler Strap are really hard to find here. specially the Black one, always out of stock at Crumpler Store here in the Philippines. :Angry:

crumpler hands down :) you can also check out lowepro straps :) but i think the industry disgrace would be better for you :)

just out of curiosity, is there a shop here in the philippines who makes custom camera straps? :Dum:

Im using RS3. Best for covering events. Not suited for taking landscapes or when you need to mount the cam into the tripod.

I was wondering, how's the handling when shooting in portrait position?
I wanted to get this, but I'm thinking that shooting verticals could be a bit bothering, possibly, since you'll have this protruding part on the camera base.

thanks! thanks! I have reserved one already...

henry's phone number is 7337723, they can ship the items to iloilo with a fee, all you need to do is to do a bank to bank transfer, then fax the deposit slip :D

I went to class today (Jo Avila's class) and he discouraged using the Industry Disgrace for DSLRs :( It does not have that much stretch compared to the Lowepro Neoprene apparently... So I wonder which is better, the Invicta or the Lowepro...

I believe Lowepro Transporter, Voyager C and Voyager S, would be a nice lowepro strap for you. sayang gusto ko pa naman sana din yun Crumpler Industry Disgrace! It looks cute pa naman. :(

Thanks for the tip! Anong difference ng tatlo? Nagkamali pala ako. Jo was recommending the Tamrac Neoprene. Is that better than the Lowepro? Stretchy siya...

Hi daphne, incidentally i just got the Tamrac N-5057 Neoprene Boomerang Digital Camera Strap from JT Photo: http://www.tamrac.com/welcome.htm . http://di1.shopping.com/images1/pi/aa/af/b0/42709414-177x150-0-0_.jpg

I love neoprene straps, you can sweat on it, it has that "suspension" bounce, and I sort of like the fact that it has a "body", how do I explain this, like it doesn't fall limp like the leather straps, did I make sense?

I also like the aestetic features of the boomerang, its "sexier" with all the curves against some straight cut generic looking neoprenes out there.

I have used the Optech neoprenes, but like the camera attachment system of the Tamrac, feels more secure. Optech has like a "String" to attach it to the camera.

Well good luck on your research...

I dont know if tamrac is better than lowepro. but I am using Tamrac Boomerang Neoprene, and it feels good. :)


Based on Lowepro:

Speedster for active photographers and photojournalists.

Transporter for the professional or core enthusiast photographer who works with multiple cameras, binoculars or other photography equipment.

Voyager S for adventure photographers who wear their cameras sling-style across the chest, the straight Voyager S strap is also the perfect upgrade for photographers needing relief from those skinny, stock straps.

Voyager C for the adventure photographer, the Voyager C is also the perfect upgrade for photographers needing relief from those skinny, stock straps.

sent you a pm daphne. :)

sir bernie, does this model of the Boomerang have the 2 neoprene CF card holders permanently attached to the straps? and what material does tamrac use as anti-slip protection under the neoprene, the same non-slip grip they use in their camera bag straps? thanks!

Thanks sa lahat ng input! Im still looking, but might buy the Tamrac :)

hi daphne,

imho, if you keep on moving around (shooting events, festivals etc), a neoprene strap is not ideal because it tends to be bungy :) it keeps bouncing. on the other hand, if you have a neoprene strap, it's a neck saver :D

personally, i'm using a lowepro transporter (thanks fafi gid :D) and i have no issues with the strap. the padding it has is ideal for me :)

hth :)

hmmm... you're making me think twice about getting the Voyager-S strap from Vet... :) what's different in the Transporter version? is the padded strap not neoprene? i was not really considering it at first because the padded section seems to be "slideable"...

btw, my main field is documentation and photojournalism. hope you could enlighten the positives about the Transporter model. thanks!

@daphne,

what gear will you be carrying with your target strap? I've been using optechs for both my cameras and they work well enough for me. on it being bouncy...it's not bad considering i shoot sports mostly and have to move around a lot.

for me the padded section works because i tend to change the location of the padded portion. sometimes i carry on the shoulder, most often my camera is on sling across the body.

personally, bang for the buck, the transporter's cheaper than the voyager s. but it really depends on you. any other strap is good to use for photojourn. i know john javellana uses a crumpler industry disgrace strap:)

i bought a crumpler industry disgrace strap only because my camera default strap screamed "Nikon D700" and i wanted to be a little more inconspicuous. two weeks with industry disgrace, my only complaint about it is that the strap that goes through the camera's "ears" is rather stiff vs the nikon's very pliable. also the buckle is somewhat obstrusive vs the nikon's. i'm seriously thinking of switching back to the default nikon strap because of that. i usually sling a crumpler 5 mil whenever i take the camera along.

Need advice:

Crumpler Industry Disgrace or Lowepro Voyager or Transporter?


HELP :)

Buy a Kata backpack R-101, R-102 or R-103 and it comes with a free Kata neck strap

i love the R-strap. not using my optech and invicta anymore :-)

Can you get the Black Rapid here in the Philippines?

D.I.Y. Nikon wrist strap

Cost = Less than Php60 for sewing the stock strap together

Used the stock Nikon strap and converted it to a handy / sturdy wrist strap.

Advantages
No clutter when putting inside a camera bag
FAST --- Easy to put on / Easy to remove
Light and durable and safe
Unique hand / wrist strap
Cheap (recycle your stock kit strap) :)

I've moved back to the normal strap from the camera. Light, compact and foldable. Don't need the super weight reduction anymore since I use primes only nowadays.

Maganda po ba yung NeoStrap Invicta X1? :)

Maganda po ba yung NeoStrap Invicta X1? :)


Yes I have heard some good comments and ratings regarding this NeoStrap Invicta. But haven't try it and touch it pa.. hehe.. :D

I am currently using Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap. So far so good naman.

I have seen a Pacsafe Camera Strap at Greenbelt and it looks good! have anyone try this strap? want to know how's the strap performs? :)

The Invicta is great. If you're using light lenses, I recommend the normal strap. I learned that this strap thing is quite a sucker for my wallet, I tried out 5 straps already and those cost more than 1K each. I sold them off and kept the Invicta for heavy lens setups and the regular strap for most of the time (since I use primes).

for security purposes this strap performs as intended, but it really loses points because it lacks any form of anti-slip grip... it will slide off your shoulder at the slightest shrug. the only way to wear this strap safely is crossed over the chest, not hanging on one shoulder, making it very limiting.

Good findings. Thanks for the reviews on the strap. :)

Never had any issues with the lack of an anti-slip material, though opinions will undoubtedly vary on this. I like the fact that its long enough for me to sling across my chest. Kinda performs like the Rapidstraps imho. I don't really have that heavy of a setup yet but I didn't experience any discomfort hauling my camera + 18-50 2.8 + flash for several days during my travels. The strap held up very well, plus that extra feeling of security if someone tries to slash the strap and grab my gear is priceless.

I also like the fact that I can use the strap on other bags like my holster because of the connectors. Also used it to secure my bag to a table or chair while I taking a break from walking around wherever I was. Gotta love that locking function as well.

Pacsafe also posted a nice review on their site. Worth a few minutes of your time if you're considering their strap.

Pao,

I've seen the Pacsafe and examined the releast buckle...but I can't determine if its metal or plastic? I was trying to inspect it more closely but the sales clerk wouldn't let me :(

My only worry is if this loop/buckle fails...which I consider as the weakest point of the strap...your gear is really in jeopardy of getting damaged, seriously damaged to say the least.

Can you advise on this one?

The clips are metal, the loops are plastic, albeit quite tough plastic. Love the fact that I can lock the clips into position with the flick of a small lever. The connectors are also covered by a neoprene sleeve so they don't scratch the camera and so thieves can't quickly undo it as opposed to a quicker releasing system.

Glad to hear that Pao, might get one myself pretty soon :)

OT: let's shoot one of these days :)

Can you get the Black Rapid here in the Philippines?

Quiapo sells the same kind. Don't recall the brand but basically the same style and function.

Black Rapid? i think i saw some at infomax megamall

Anybody have a clue as to how much Optech pro loops cost?

Got mine at Shutter Master in Makati.

Anybody have a clue as to how much Optech pro loops cost?

Php 1100 at Filters Exchange (http://www.filters-exchange.com/)

Saw the Black Rapids at Digital Walker Zoom in Greenbelt 5 earlier, though I didn't ask for the price. Quite happy with my Optech & Pacsafe :)

Thinking of buying the BLACKRAPID or Neostrap...

Which is better???

Thinking of buying the BLACKRAPID or Neostrap...

Which is better???

They're 2 very different straps.

1 is made for quickly bringing the camera to a shooting position, the other is just an excellent all-around strap.

Best advice I can give you is to test them both out for yourself. We all have different tastes.

Thinking of buying the BLACKRAPID or Neostrap...

Which is better???

depends also on whether you shoot landscape or not.

BLACKRAPID would not be an ideal choice for landscapers because one of the connection points is at the bottom of the camera body, interfering with quick tripod placement. NEOSTRAP does not have this problem since it uses the normal connection points on the camera body.

I use the pacsafe strap. i dont know what happend but the strap suddenly gave way and my cam fell to the floor. not a heavy cam, d80 + 18-70mm. i am going back to my original strap.

Really? hmm.. thats odd. good thing your cam didn't break.. hehehe. how much was it by the way?

don't know how much, a friend gave it to me.

can anybody please posts the actual image of you neck straps + model + price so that all of us newbies specially those who are from far away places can see it before ordering online. thanks very much!!!

just wanna share a little variation on strap usage (http://reviews.davidleetong.com/?p=701)

+1 on Crumpler's Industry Disgrace :D

i just received my free smugmug strap a couple of weeks ago. it's good enough for the 1000D.

How'd you get yours?

Guys, does anyone know where I can get the R Strap?

Chanced upon a Vanguard strap at the recent Photoworld tradeshow. At less than P800, it looks like a bargain. Have to use it over the next few weeks to see how it really feels. So far, its comfortable and not as hot on the neck as other straps. Also looks easily washable. It's a big improvement over my strap that came with the camera.

Would anyone be interested in a 2in1 strap? It's a traditional over the neck strap that can be tuned into a rapid strap and back again in a few simple steps.

I just kinda invented this today and I'm curios if others photographers would be into this kind of strap.

So far I'm loving my new design, unfortunately I can't post pics since I'm afraid that it might get copied.

How'd you get yours?

a very late reply ken. i got it when smugmug had this promotion with an olympus forum back then. every member gets one. :)

anyways, just to update this thread, i've switched back to my old Optech Pro straps from the Crumpler ID straps... what a relief!

Here's the link to a short video showing a demo of the strap.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f59YlJfBDmY

What do you guys think?

I am looking of getting a very good camera strap that can take the load of my Canon 30D camera with a Canon BGE2 battery grip and also a Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS lens.I am actually debebating between camera straps made by either OpTech or Lowepro.For those of you out there who have had any experiences with both OpTech and Lowepro camera straps,which among the two brands do you personally prefer?
THANKS.


Michael Y.

Try the Expedition Cradle and Strap... bought one for $36 thru eBay. This is designed for dSLRs attached tp big lenses.

Then you should have it patented first and manufactured. Only
then should you advertise and sell.

oh I'm not advertising nor selling. I do plan on having it patented if people people would be interested in something like it.

I already posted a link below to show how the strap works.

I'm using a Crumpler Industry Disgrace, the black one. I love how I don't have "CANON" characters screaming on my neck. It's also more comfortable. I wanted to go for the limited edition camo simply because of it's "limited edition" status, but I wanted something simple and inconspicuous, and the black Crumpler ID fit that need the best.

Based on what I'm back reading, straps are basically based on personal preference.

Had the OpTech, Crumpler, and RS before, now I'm using the Lexar Air Cell and it's wonderful.

I'm using RS-4 from blackRapid. I don't need to carry a camera bag as the strap got pocket that can fit 1 CF and battery. I really love the "quick draw" feature :D

I love how I don't have "CANON" characters screaming on my neck.


That was one of the main reason why I got the domke gripper. It's just a black with twp grey rubbery stripes.
