Camera straps are the unsung heroes of photographic accessories, but pick the right one and they can make all the difference in comfort when wearing your camera on long shoots, especially if using heavy set ups with bulkier DSLR bodies and big telephoto lenses.
The OpTech Pro Loop is a budget-friendly model costing roughly between $15 and $30, and aims to give photographers a much more comfortable shooting experience as by all means it’s a generic camera strap but with one big difference – a large foam pad to spread out and distribute heavy loads much more evenly to prevent neck and shoulder pain. OpTech has a longstanding history of making camera accessories dating back to 1982 and claims its Pro Loop strap is designed to make heavy loads feel 50% lighter and 100% more comfortable – big claims that I put to the test in this review. So read on and find out if the OpTech Pro Loop Strap is worth your money.
