OP/TECH USA 1301372 Pro Loop Connector (Regular) - System Connectors Black

A great product from Op/Tech - allows you to use a strap on multiple cameras.

I've been looking for a good camera strap for a while. What I really was looking for was a strap that was long enough so I could wear it as a sling. I looked at the black rapid strap and other like it but what I really disliked about it was that it took up my tripod mount on the bottom of my camera. I also didn't quite like the hybrid plates that allowed you to keep your tripod mount but would have the attachment to the side. Although it seems quite stable, I didn't want to take the chance. I bought the Optech system and originally had it stretched out to the max and it was basically just about 3 inches too short to be comfortable. After I added these extenders, problem solved. Now I have my camera secure with 2 connection plus I get to keep my tripod mount. Some people do not like the quick release for fear that it may become unbuckled. I just McGuyvered it and used some velcro strips to wrap those us - thanks internet for the tip!

I've been an Op/Tech customer for a long time and really like these pro loop connectors. I use them on all of my cameras because they are just so useful. For example, I just had to send in a camera for service. Rather than all of the muss and fuss of taking off a normal camera strap, I simply released the long strap and then plugged the 2 connectors together and put it in the box. I also like to take off the strap whenever I'm using a tripod or change the strap from a short neck strap to a long bandolier over the shoulder type strap. These QR loops make doing that stuff so fast and easy.As I said, I've been using these for years and never had a failure with either the buckles or the straps. All of my cameras are pretty heavy, ie Nikon d300, d700, d3s, etc, but these buckles don't care. They just work.Bottom line, great product.

If you combine these excellent straps with the padded neoprene neck section of the Op/tech Utility Strap (Sling), you will have duplicated the strap Canon Professional Services has been giving away with first year membership.Took me a while to figure it out, but this is the combo that makes the CPS strap so great for carrying heavier cameras like the 5D Mark III with chunky lenses.Oh--of course the strap will not have the CPS logo, but "Op/Tech" looks just fine and attracts a little less attention anyway.

I bought one a few years ago, so I knew what to expect. This product is extremely durable.The old one is hardly distinguishable from the new one! You really need to look close tosee which one has been used (a lot).Still love the fact that these connectors "fall away" from the camera body, so they neverget in the way.I've been mostly using them on a DSLR with a battery grip and an 17-50 f2.8 lens, connected toan OP/TECH Pro Strap. It never failed me

Just now opened the package and kinda wish it was shorter for what i'm planning to use as a safety with Black rapid strap sling.or I wish it included 1 Uni Loop.Saw this prior to buying:http://enthusiastphotographer.com/2011/12/20/black-rapid-arca-solution/#comment-587Hope it works out.

These recently delivered disconnects are not manufactured as well as previous fasteners. The new ones are hugely difficult to open, either sticking and or just impossible to open without using pliers. I have used Op/Tech USA 3/8” neck straps for years on my cameras including my Nikon D5 for comfort. Returned item for refund.

This line in the description "Allows cameras, binoculars or gear with tighter connection points to connect to a strap" is not always accurate. The thickness of the uniloop when doubled would not fit through the connection point on any binoculars or camera I own. If your connection point is a very thin slot, this won't work.
