Hey everybody.... I have POTN OpTech straps on both my bodies... but I would like for them to be a little bit longer. Does anyone know where I can extensions to snap into the straps to make them longer??

Thanks!!

On their website, I found different style connectors, but can't make out if any of them are any longer than what I have now. From the specifications, they all seem to be about the same length...

How long do you want them? I'm 6'3" and at maximum length mine would continually swing into my crotch

Just to mention it's not actually the POTN strap I have though it's the same unit however but with connectors listed as no.3.

What's wrong with the extension pieces listed as no. 9 on there connector system picture?

I found the correct sized connectors here: Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. We have one locally. I think I got the strap material there also. It was hard to find the correct connectors. Lots of variations on how they clip together. This was something I did not want to buy online

I'm only 5'5, but my shoulders slope down enough that things slide right off my shoulders while walking around. I like to carry two cameras, each with different lenses, so I carry them with the straps going across my chest (like you would carry a satchel, if you know what I mean). But I want to be able to just pick up the camera and shoot. Right now the strap connectors (at full length) don't allow me to bring the camera up to my face without pulling my arm out of the strap first (so the camera is hanging around my neck). So I need a little extra length. ;)

And now that I'm looking at the specs closer, it looks like your no. 3 connectors are a few inches longer on each side than my no. 9s, so I think I'll go with those.

Thanks everyone! ;)
