POTN style camera straps

My Upstrap is getting uncomfortable around my neck when using the 100-400 on my MKIII. I was wondering if who ever makes the POTN straps with the wide neoprene padding (I have two) makes them without the quick release and just has the padding with a narror 3/8" strap with the little buckle kind of thing at the camera that you fold the strap through. Very low profile and out of the way.

Does anyone know if this exists?

They are OP/TECH straps, and they have customizable connectors (system connectors)

The Upstrap is excellent for it's intended use which is to keep a camera from sliding off your shoulder. It wasn't designed to be a comfortable neck strap. As already mentioned look at the Op/Tech.

Also take a look at the Crumpler 'Industry Disgrace' straps.
Very comfortable.

I have both the POTN straps & the Industry Disgrace on my 1 series bodies (usually fitted with 100-400 L or 70-200 f2.8L and they are both very good. I do however worry about the quick connects, but keep seeing assurances from other members that they are reliable.

I love the POTN straps but they're too short. My Crumpler strap though is the shiz-niz-bitz!!!

Agree that the POTN strap as shipped is too short so I ordered the longer extension set. The Crumpler is great as shipped.
