highly recommended to anyone
 
You reckon they could take the weight of,say, a D300,grip and 80-200?
 
I've got one of those.

Only one, mind. During one of the strap orders, they mistakenly sent me half a normal connector (pro strap), and the other half one of these :nuts:

Is this your way of telling us you swing both ways? :thinking:

Sorry, think I am having a blond man moment......what is the advantage of these over the normal Optech strap things?

they seem alot sturdier and stronger over the other loop ones i have. the true test will be over time though

Just had D300, grip and Sigma 70-200 attached with no problems at all
 
Thanks.
 
I don't get it - they are replacing webbing with bits of plastic? I would think the plastic would be easier to break?

Also - is that just a little plastic tag that the strap part clips onto? Not sure I would want to trust that to be honest.

Of course, I have not actually seen one of these things:lol:
 
I had these on a previous optech strap and one did split where the elongated hole is, luckily I noticed it before it snapped but I wouldn't fancy having that D300 and siggy 120-300 hanging off it
 
i use the pro loops on my d700 with 70-300mm

you can lengthen your strap if you buy the no9s as they have connectors either end
 
I am not sure what the first two pictures are showing but I don't know that I would trust my camera to something that looks so easy to just catch on something and flip it open ?

Going by the optech straps I have at present (thanks TP/Marcel) they would be good, but from the pictures I cannot see it ?
 
Gotta be honest, I've got a couple of Optechs, looped and non-looped and I've no idea what this "upgrade" is trying to solve here or what the point is of replacing the stock ones with these?

I've had a 300mm f/2.8 VR attached to an S5 Pro with my current straps working just fine (over 3.5kg)? What do these "do" the stock straps don't?
 
first two pics are of the normal ones, the rest are either new or comparison between the two

sorry i was in a rush when i made the topic and didnt label it up properly

the webbing is more thicker and feels stronger. the plastic bits i prefer to use instead of the other loops, personal preference

i wouldnt carry the Sigma 120-300 with D300 with one strap as its to heavy for that, i have an optech strap on the 120-300 to so carry it from both
