Product Description

With the OP/TECH USA SYSTEM CONNECTORS, the camera/binocular owner has several connection options. You can buy an extra set of connectors to customize the strap to best suit your needs. Straps can be lengthened to be worn across the chest or shortened to be worn at chest level. Another feature of the SYSTEM CONNECTORS is the small carrying handle created when the quick disconnects of the SYSTEM CONNECTORS are latched together. The Utility Loop is ideal for adapting the UTILITY STRAP or other strap with snap hooks for use with a camera. Made in the USA and available in sets of two. The LENS SUPPORT ADAPTOR is a great way to stabilize and support longer lenses. The UNI-LOOP CONNECTORS allow users to have a universal system with many other OP/TECH USA products. They make switching from one strap configuration to another quicker and easier than ever before.

I bought these connectors as they don't flop around on my camera, and there are no metal buckles to scratch the camera, like some of the connectors on other brand straps (Tamrac for example).

And they are smaller so the camera fits into the bag easier. I usually always disconnect the strap, so I do like the idea of a quick disconnect.

However, it's a pretty lame idea to construct each set with different buckle ends. I know the idea behind it, but I think pretty much it was to be different, or perhaps to ensure only their products are compatible. Not sure which.

But they were cheap enough that I just bought a second pair and threw away the male ends.

By the way, the female ends attach to Tamrac's straps perfectly.

You can't go wrong with any Optech product in my book. Everything I've gotten from them is nicely designed and manufactured. All the different pieces work together. It's great. I used these on my 5DM2 while on a 25000 mile trip to 3 continents. They were the foundation that let me switch from handgrip, holster, strap and untethered shooting. Love the solid attachment and minimalistic yet flexible designs that they enable.

I bought the complete OP/Tech Super Classic Strap with Uni-Loop.

The reason I bought the 1001062 is because I wanted the shorter loop, instead of the longer one that dangles from the camera if one doesn't remove the loop from the camera.

PRO: The quality is excellent, short enough to leave on the camera permanently, only disconnect the shoulder pad.

The 3 prong connection is solid as a rock. I have trouble squeezing the tongs for a quick disconnect, which means I can trust this Uni-loop not to come apart while twisting or turning or touching the quick disconnect as has been a complaint about a competing product. I trust this Uni-loop to support my thousands dollar lenses. Gets 5 Stars.

CON: The designer needs his head examined. To install this Uni-loop is an utmost bitch. One has to fight getting the connector through the loop. The loop needed to be only 1/8" or 1/4" longer to allow an easy enough attachment or disconnect to allow the connector to pass thru the loop. It's insane as is.

A warning once attached you will not want to remove the loop from the camera, utterly nuts. I gave it 3 Stars and that's too much. For design this product get Zero stars.
