Review on πŸ“Έ Black OP/TECH USA 1801021 Quick-Release Cam Strap by Gary Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I liked it so much I bought another one - UPDATED 2018

UPDATE October 27th 2018: I have apparently bought 3 of these belts since 2011. I've since lost track of one - it might have been on the camera I was selling, so I recently ordered another one, the dotted version this time. I no longer have the cameras mentioned in my 2011 review and 2012 update. Now one of the straps - black - on the Panasonic FZ1000 and a new one with polka dots - on the Sony RX100 III. I post pictures of it. Those are strong straps. I wouldn't intentionally hang the cameras on the strap, although I did it as a test (over the soft seat of the sofa). They provide some security when I'm using the camera; If I lose my footing, there's a good chance the camera won't hit the ground. Original review edited for brevity: I had a neck/shoulder strap on my Olympus XZ-1 and didn't like it. That's why I ordered this belt. I attached it to my XZ-1 and I really like it. This strap keeps my wrist secure when I'm carrying the camera. And unlike a shoulder strap, there's no long strap material to fiddle with when you're carrying your camera in your bag and pulling it out. EDIT 02/19/2012: Last week I have strong Kodak EasyShare Z990 with 30x optical zoom. I have another strap like this for my new camera and I love it. While each of these lightweight digital cameras can be held on a much less durable strap, this one is solid and comfortable.
