I know you can get extensions for op tech straps and im not looking for a black rapid type strap just a strap that can be adjusted to fit over the shoulder. thanks.

Crumplers are long - not sure what length your after but I wear mine criss-crossed across my body and they still hang around belt height (and I am not small)

I have the black rapid alternative: the Luma Labs Cinch. You can order it with an extension to fit a bigger person. For reference, I'm 6'1+ and 203 pounds give or take a few, depending on the week... so I'm not thin. The regular size Cinch fits me fine. For a quick disconnect, I use this: http://www.reallyright​stuff.com …mp-with-strap-bosses.html (external link)

BTW, Ed. Congrats on getting your 5D3 back in working order. Whew.

I have the Op-tech strap that I wear across my body, and without the extension, at it's longest, it sits below my belt line by about 4-5" (Im 5'11")

wouldn't work for me. I'm 5'10" but have broad shoulders. I have to use the extensions with optech.

thanks guys. i'll research the suggestions. the strap is for an SL1 so I would prefer a thin, simple strap. the crumpler The Hitch looks perfect but I have doubts that it is long enough since it isn't adjustable. does anyone own this strap?

Ed; I use the below and I have a large body. They work perfectly to carry the camera with the strap across my body and the camera resting around my waist. I love them.

Good luck in your quest.

I've been making myself crazy the past two or three weeks going back and forth about various straps for my 5DIII + telephotos.
