Pretty Good!
I consider this camera strap slightly expensive for what it is. Loose one star!HOWEVER: This strap perfectly fits my need. I use it on my Panasonic TZ60 compact which only came with a wrist stap.After my third whoops a daisy moment (with swearing), I decided I must buy a neck strap for the bruised but still working TZ60 (thanks Panasonic).The strap is well made, easy to connect to the tiny camera lugs, easy to adjust with plastic sliders, it has a quick release pinch clip and the strap is a webbing/foam combo that's comfortable when wearing around the neck.I don't use the mini quick release clip, which is sort of reassuringly stiff ie it won't unclip unexpectedly. The foam part of the strap is two-tone coloured job, slightly stretchy and I think will be robust enough to last for a few years. I'm happy with the purchase as could not find any other compact camera strap on Amazon (or elsewhere) that was not either expensive, very expensive or OTT expensive, useless, or unsuitable.I have used my compact with this strap frequently over the past few months and it has shown no sgns of wear and tear - good!Hope this helps you make an informed choice for a strap.

Comfortable option for compact binoculars, length plenty long enough
I bought this strap for my Zeiss Victory Compact binoculars because they came with a thin, although robust, strap that I wear around my winter coat collar. Looking forward to warmer weather I wanted a more comfortable option to take the place of the coat collar. This is it. It works for me. I was concerned reading the reviews about length but it's almost too long, the binoculars reach to my waist, much lower than I would normally wear them. I am 5ft 6 and a slim build and I find that I could even wear one side of the strap under one arm to carry them across body and still lift the binoculars easily. My husband is 6ft and they are comfortable for him at this length too although 4 inches above his waist, they still lift easily for viewing. The strap is not fully extended at this and I estimate it has another 3 inches to extend should I want it to but I will probably shorten it. It was easy to fit, just unclip at the quick release, attach the slim loop cord and re-clip the strap. The neoprene is 6mm or about a quarter inch thick so quite comfy and the neoprene part of the strap is 32mm or 12.5 inches long. It is not to bulky to carry and is easy to unclip and shove in a pocket if you want to transport the compacts in their original case which as usual is quite close fitting.

Great strap for digital camera
I bought this strap for my digital sony camera and find it perfect. it sits very comfortable in your neck and doesn't rub at all. It was easy to attach and I find the clips of good quality and I don't worry my camera will come off. Some people that wrote reviews complain it is too short and some even they can't take comfortably take pictures with the stap still around their neck. With me the camera hangs about 10cm above my belly botton on the shortest length and I am 1.80m myself. That is perfect if you have it around your neck whilst you are walking, because then the camera doesn't bounce that much against your chest! I dont know how this strap can be too short if you have a normal posture, you would need a very big neck or be overweight in general might this strap be too short to be able to take pictures...

The foam started to desintegrate
The strap lasted just over 3 years. I had to replace it since the foam between the fabric started to disolve and I feared that the whole strap would come apart with my camera hitting the ground. I've replaced it with a leather strap. More expensive, but I think I will wear out the camera before wearing out the strap. I have 2 OP/TECH Super Classic Strap Pro Loop which I have had for at least 10 years and they are great, so this came as a great disappointment.

Excellent for smaller cameras
I have recently bought a compact camera and wanted a proper neck strap, rather than the wrist strap that came with the camera. The majority of straps I saw were either lanyards (not very comfortable) or for full size SLR's (rather overkill).I ended up searching for binocular straps and came across the OP/TECH products - both the neck strap and wrist strap. As both items have quick release buckles I only need to attach one product to the camera and can alternate between the two. As there is only one mounting point on the camera but this strap has two for each side of the camera I simply attached one round the strap so I only need one of the buckles to attach to the camera.The part that goes round your neck is neoprene, so it is soft and springy. The strap length is easily adjustable for a wide variety of lengths.I would recommend this strap for compact cameras and perhaps compact system cameras.

Nice (but I would prefer a more traditional strap material)
I used this with a mirrorless camera with a long lens, without any fear of losing the kit, and it is easy to swap this out for a wrist strap when the latter feels more appropriate. When not using any strap, the QR clips can be left on the camer and don't get in the way. My only complaint is that I would have preferred it if the neck strap was not something that seems to be neoprene: it reduces my confidence in the long-term durability of the product, and the stretchiness is not needed for the relatively light-weight kit this strap it likely to be used to support.

Good strap - but not perfect for me
This is a very comfortable strap. However, I have been using a technique of holding the camera with the strap taut for extra stability, giving me a few extra stops of low-light hand-holdability without a tripod, and the flexibility of the neoprene makes this more difficult than it would be with a non-flexible strap, and so I do have to change to another one. The softness and flexibility of the neoprene does mean that this would be a great strap even for heavier cameras than my Sony RX100, though, on which it currently is attached. I can definitely recommend this strap to everyone who doesn't use their strap as a "monopod" like I do.

Great for smaller cameras
Needed a proper neck for my Panasonic DC-TZ90 camera, rather than the wrist strap that came with it. Decided upon this one after reading some of the positive reviews and would agree that it’s easy to fit, comfortable to have round the neck and is most importantly, strong and secure. Completely satisfied, thanks.
