I bought this for the Nikon D700 camera and replaced the factory Nikon strap which is thinner and hurts the neck after long use. Just as advertised, it is very comfortable even after long use. The construction and design is minimalistic, ie. the edge of the cut foam is not trimmed or dressed up. Therefore, with a big name “Op/Tech” blazened on the back-it is not made for label conscious users. However, I buy my things for usefulness, comfort, and reliability regardless of price (expensive or cheap). Therefore, I am pleased overall because I don’t care what others think when they see a non-designer brand on my neck. To balance the great usefulness and comfort with mediocre design-I give it 4 stars.

I bought this item to replace the original CANON camera strap which came with the camera. This camera strap is very light weight and comfortable. The strap is wide and the material keeps the camera from slipping off your sholder. Perfect for digital or film full body cameras. I walked around all day with my CANON D50 with a 70-200MM F2.8L IS lens (Heavy) and felt very comfortable at the end of the day. Just wish I had bought this light weight strap earlier.

This strap is far superior than the OEM Nikon strap or the basic neoprene strap I was using. Connection to the camera is very secure and it’s simple to install. The padded section is comfortable and supports a heavy camera well. When I have the camera over one shoulder, like when scrambling over rocks, the padded section isn’t really in the right place and would be better if it was adjustable over the length of the strap (like Timbuk2 products).
I’m giving this 5 stars because it meets my expectations for the price. That being said, I’m still looking for a strap that has thinner straps at the camera mounts that don’t get in the way and a sliding padded section.

I purchased this because I was tired of my Nikon strap getting so twisted and to get a more comfortable strap for carrying for longer periods of time. Now I’m ordering a second for my other body just for another connector set. I keep them off the camera part of the time and will just attach one at a time with the easy detach connectors. And as a bonus the connectors when the strap is not on allow me to improve the anti-shake by holding on to one of them tightly.
One caveat — they will take up more room in your bag.

I replaced my stock Canon 5D Mark II strap with this one. Wonder why I have not done it earlier until now given it is a relatively small investment. In addition to all the benefits mentioned by others on this thread, I also like the extra few inches so now I can wear it across my shoulder instead of solely on my neck. With the body, battery grip and heavy lens such as the 70-200 f/2.8, it will be hard on your neck for even just an hour or two regardless which strap you have.
Do I worry about the plastic clips might break or become loose that my camera may drop on the floor? The clips seem to be quite well made and tighten so far given it is new. I don’t see myself using the clips as much so I am not worrying for now.
