While the Upstrap and the OpTech variants (including the POTN one) look interesting and pretty good... I'm getting ready to order one of these babies.

The blackrapid is great, especially when I have my 70-200 attached. However, it does not replace my POTN strap on all shoots.

Wow... with all of these great responses, I'd feel guilty not supporting P.O.T.N. by picking up the op/tech pro at this point ;)

So my POTN op/tech strap came the other day, and all I can say is wow! what a difference :)

Whats funny is that this weekend I was at "The BIG E" in MA (without my 40D :( ) and I noticed the horse show photographer was using the same strap, (on a Nikon, minus the POTN logo though)

I find the Optech Pro (same as POTN strap) too large and bulky, more suited to holding heavy weight of 1D bodies and supertele lenses. The Optech Super Classic is perfect for my APS-C body and more modest tele, and its plain black color screams nothing (much less, screaming 'steal me')

Optech super classic ! Not as thick/ugly as the Pro Loop, though you could get it in loops as well. In fact, on the spec sheet it supports the same max weight.

I prefer the 3/8 webbings though.
