Review on πŸŽ’ OP/TECH USA 1301652 Reporter/Backpack - System Connectors: A Sleek and Functional Storage Solution in Stylish Black by Thomas Silva

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A brilliant solution for camcorder accessories

I'm an avid traveler and photographer who had trouble carrying my backpack and camera. I need to carry a camera where I can reach it: A camera in your backpack is useless. I looked at extremely expensive belts and totes, both chest and waist. And nothing seemed to offer convenience and bang for your buck. And then I came across this $9 gem from my old friends at OP/TECH and it seemed like a good idea. one of me was a bit more stubborn than the other, but that's not really a problem. I would say to these people find a strong friend. You won't be slipping these straps on and off your pack, they're a forever addition (and I've found I don't even notice them when I'm hiking without a camera installed). I first tried them without extensions and they worked well, I carried my camera just below chest height with just enough play to shoot in landscape mode, but I wanted the hair to be longer. shoot in portrait format so I plug in very short extension cords. The shorter the straps, the less the camera pendulum will swing, especially if you have a telephoto lens attached. I have no problem carrying my 300mm lens in this position. I would advise potential buyers that you will need add-ons with this product, so don't hesitate to order them. It will take trial and error to figure out which location works best for you. The best thing for me is that these straps easily connect to all my other OP/TECH equipment. I've been a satisfied customer for over 25 years. Conclusion: This is an ingenious (why didn't I think of this before?) solution to a common problem.

Pros
  • Clips for every 1 inch webbing or seam
Cons
  • Empty
