FAQs
Can I use this with a heavy DSLR?
No. The strap has a maximum weight capacity of 1.13kg. Using it with heavier equipment may cause the strap or your camera lug to fail.
Is the strap machine washable?
We recommend hand washing with mild soap to ensure the integrity of the nylon and neoprene materials is maintained.
Can I switch the strap between different cameras?
Yes. If you purchase additional OP/TECH mini-loop connectors, you can keep them attached to multiple cameras and easily switch the main strap between them.
What is the length range of the strap?
The strap is adjustable from approximately 17 inches to 25 inches in length.
Is it comfortable for shoulder carry?
Yes, the neoprene construction provides enough width and padding to make shoulder carrying very comfortable for lightweight setups.
Troubleshooting
The strap keeps slipping in length.
Ensure the locking slide is fully pressed down into the locked position after you have reached your desired strap length.
The connector will not fit through the camera lug.
The 1.5mm cord loop is designed for tight spaces; try using a small piece of dental floss to help pull the cord loop through the lug if the opening is exceptionally narrow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, shock-absorbing neoprene material
- Easy to adjust length with a secure locking mechanism
- Quick disconnect feature simplifies storage and switching straps
- Ideal for small devices with limited connection space
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy DSLR cameras or large telephoto lenses
- Maximum weight capacity is limited to 1.13kg
- Single-point attachment may not feel as stable as a dual-point strap for larger devices
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the strap, disconnect the mini quick disconnect buckle. Thread the thin 1.5mm cord loop through your camera's connection lug. Feed the main body of the QD connector through the loop to create a girth-hitch knot. Pull firmly to ensure it is secure, then reconnect the buckle to the main strap.
Compatibility is limited to devices under 1.13kg (2.5 lbs) with a single strap lug. To clean the strap, hand wash it using mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the neoprene.
