I have the Optech brand, it is great. Here is their web site: http://www.optechusa.c​om/ (external link). I believe B&H sells their product.

The POTN version of the Optech strap is actually a pretty good deal. $22 shipped for the POTN, or $29 for just the strap alone from B&H. ;)

The POTN Strap (external link) is a great deal and very comfortable. In addition you will support this site.

I bought my 10D a while ago and couldn't understand why Canon would put such a terrible strap on it. The camera can be heavy with a big lens and flash. So, when I joined the forum, I clicked on the shop and there was the POTN strap for $22. They had it in the color I wanted and I made a donation as well. I like it so much, I bought another strap last month for my EOS 3! :)

I had one from Cartom that wasn't bad. Then, since I have gotten so much info and support from this forum decided to give back and ordered the POTN strap. It is very comfortable. I would recommend it.

For a year I hefted around the 20D with battery grip and 100-400L IS, using the strap that came with the 20D. Then I got the POTN strap. HUGE difference. Much better.

What is the difference on the straps mentioned here, compared to the standard strap of the 20D or 350D? Better padding, anti-slip?
Is there really an improvement?
When I'm at a football (soccer) match, most of the pro's use the standard Canon strap.

I'm no pro, for sure, but I do a lot of hiking with my camera and I find this very useful for a strap.

It's typically called a Bino-Buddy, but the one here has the "N" word on it.

It's harness supports the camera/lense weight very well and it hangs the camera in the center of your chest, ready for action. Greatest thing ever invented for bino's and works well for cameras too. :cool:

Kito,
How long are the straps on this thing? Is there any problem turning your camera for a portrait shot? This looks like it might make a bracket/camera/flash a lot more comfortable.

The difference is that the POTN strap is best,. it's faster, sharper and quieter and has a red stripe on it!
