Holiday Gift Ideas 2014 – Op/tech Wrist Straps

Today’s post by Mark Toal

I’m a sucker for a new camera strap, but I keep coming back to the OP/tech straps. There are a lot of wrist straps these days made of everything from Water Buffalo to custom made Lance string straps. I have friends that swear by these straps. I’ve tried them and the Op/Tech wrist strap ends up back on my camera every time.

These Neoprene straps came is two sizes, large for cameras like my Lumix GH4 and small for my Lumix LX-7. The Neoprene is flexible and comfortable to wear for long periods. They are also easy to remove in case you want to change to a shoulder strap. Op/tech is located in Montana where they make 90% of their products.

Part of the reason that I use small mirrorless cameras is that I have a bad back so carrying a camera on my neck or shoulder for very long is uncomfortable. The wrist strap still provides the security I want and the camera is also ready to use in a second.
