OP/TECH USA Pro or Pro Loop Strap?

[tiha]

Which one would you recommend - OP/TECH USA Pro or Pro Loop Strap?
Thanks!

Isn't the Pro Loop for really narrow camera lugs? I can't remember exactly. I use the Pro on my 20D.

the pro loops are more convienient and offer a cleaner look in my opinion.

Too late in my case :D .

Now you guys mention it, I'm thinking the pro loop may actually function better anyway given that my camera does not always hang straight. Hmmm...

The OpTech Super Classic Strap is narrower than the Pro strap (I just don't need something THAT wide!) From the website: "SUPER CLASSIC STRAP™ is a great option. It has the same tailored design as the popular CLASSIC STRAP™; however, it adds the patented internal control-stretch system found in our S.O.S. Strap™ in addition to our Non Slip Grip™. This combination is ideal for the individual wanting a narrower strap design that has the needed strength and comfort features required for handling a heavy load. " It uses the same connector system as Pro, allowing center strap to be removed quickly and allowing end pieces to be connected as a small carry handle.

For $22 delivered, the POTN strap is a bargain. I wore it all day for the Aquarium expedition and it was very comfy. :)

So, do I get a free one for the advertising? ;)

Thanks everybody for answers. Now I'm more towards Pro Loop strap but does the camera swing too much when attached to it?

What you could do is buy the POTN Pro Loop strap to support the forum and have the POTN logo on your strap.

If you decide you want 3/8" Optech ends (in other words, convert your Pro Loop strap to a Pro strap), buy them from pcasicola's company on eBay (look for procameragear). Currently, the Buy It Now for those ends is here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7565115992).

I'm with Wilt. The narrower Super Classic strap has the same well made / cushioned neck piece that comes on Tom Binh straps. They're GREAT - I find them far more comfortable than the Pro model, personally, and more aesthetic, as well (if that matters).

As regards the loop vs. standard strapping, I prefer the loops as it allows the strap to fall away better, making it less annoying to get out of the way when you're up to the eyepiece. They're plenty strong, which is everyone's first question.

Nope.

I bought the Classic/Super Classic... I can't remember which one it is. Not bulky so it fits back into the bag easily and is quite comfortable. I often have a camera around my neck for 5-6 hrs at a time.
