Review on OP/TECH USA Pro Strap - 3/8&#34 by Christie Santos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent weight distribution, some may find it uncomfortable

This harness is expensive but many professionals recommend it. I bought it after a photo book I read said some harsh things about it and I wasn't disappointed. The strap is nearly two inches wide at the center, padded, and has a non-slip surface. The large area distributes the weight very well and my (relatively) small Canon T3 with a 55-250 lens doesn't feel at all on my shoulder. I could easily see the large bodies and lenses dangling just as happily. hand to stabilize it when walking. This article is perfect for that. I tried wrapping the tape around my neck with the camera on my stomach, but the non-slip material made it quite uncomfortable when I wasn't wearing a collared shirt. I can easily understand some of the complaints from ladies in reviews about discomfort in cleavage blouses. This is something to keep in mind if you tend to hang this on the bare part of your body - specifically I wouldn't want to own it in such conditions. For me, however, it's fantastic.
