Cant figure how to adjust the OP/TECH USA Bino/Cam harness. Way too big. How can I adjust it?

It is difficult. Those slider mechanisms (plastic things holding the straps parallel) are the way to do it. Like tightening or loosening a dog's collar or think about the slider on your bra strap that makes it tighter or looser. Same idea, but I bet the elastic stiff harness straps are a bit harder to deal with. I got one for my boyfriend as a gift. He's 5'2" tall & it was too big even at it's smallest setting & I had to return it.

no problem, each side adjusts individually, but it is a single VERY long strap threaded through the leather back piece. If you have adjusted the sliders until there is no room left and it seems to be almost there (or on the right track to fitting) do a shortening test. put it on in the shortest configuration it will do, pinch the single strap together until it feels right, staple it, repeat for the other side. Once it fits.... sew the excess material to the strap or cut one of the anchor loops at the leather centerpiece, shorten the strap and resew. If you mess up, the elastic nylon is at any fabric store

I couldn't adjust it. I gave it to a large person and purchased a different one else where.

I'm a 5' 6" woman and I got it to fit me well for my big camera when I'm hiking--so there's hope. How to explain it when I'm not there is much harder. Take the slider mechanisms so that all the straps are double, and therefore shorter. In other words, pull the slider up as far as it will go. Another suggestion is to take it to your camera or sporting goods store to have a salesperson help you (even if you didn't buy it there). The bottom line is that you should be able to make it fit unless you are smaller than I am. Good luck.

I don't know. I ended up not using it because once I bought it, it seemed too fussy to use. I was using the binos and switching back and forth between them and my camera on African photo safari. Mostly just used the standard "around the neck" strap.

it fit for me and I have the same camera. it just fits in a weird way. I had to YouTube how to put it on.

You can purchase an adapter from Orion, or you can easily make an adapter using a large angle brace. I favor using a monopod with a 6" strip of wood fastened across the top using a 1/4"-20 T nut (avilable at any hardware store). Just rest the binoculars on the strip of wood. It works great!

There are two allen wrench screws in the plastic you need to loosen. They are very tiny. I wound up just very carefully tilting the camera by grabbing it and slowly working it down. ( I didn't have aa small enough allen wrench!) Just turn it slow and it should move.

Pull the eye piece out at far as it will go. The dioptric is on the left hand side near the bottom of the eye piece. It's very small and hard to find and hard to to get your finger in there to make the adjustment.

I'm able to adjust the straps so that the camera attachment plates on the harness are very high on my chest, when I wear the Opteka with a lifejacket. That would be close to the adjustment you would need. So, a long way to answer "yes" to your question.

Jay, the short answer is 'yes'. The neck strap section can take a good deal of weight, and the side straps can both be adjusted. It is a very comfortable set up. I have used "OP/TECH straps since I found ut about them some years ago, and have never had a problem with them. IO have them on all three of my cameras, and on my wife's. as well. Good luck and I'm sure you will like the strap. Sam

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

You need to check the thread size. It can be also called the filter ring. Or something like that. I don't know the specific camera so you will have to just look back in the manual for that and then select the size you want. if doesn't end up fitting you can sometimes get converters.

I was in the same boat and ordered one size up. It was almost too big and can't be adjusted any smaller. There are several sets of eyelets so you can size it to fit. I wish I'd gone with the smaller one.

There are a number of ways to adjust. I had the best luck searching some YouTube videos. Good luck.

After looking at the model binocular you identified, I don't see why the Leupold harness wouldn't work. As long as the original strap for the binoculars are removable, the harness will work. I have seen some binoculars that have the original strap molded in the binocular. In those cases, the harness will not work. Good luck!

I have the same problem with the exact camera and fisheye lens. I still don't have a solution for my problem, I can't even get it to fit.

I'd recommend you look at the Op/Tech covers rather than this style. I bought the one you asked about but didn't use it for long -- it was too bulky. I replaced it with an Op/Tech cover and never looked back. As I recall the Op/Tech website had a chart matching certain cameras and lenses with their array of sizes. I used it and the fit is perfect. Hope this helps.

Push the button on right center of face till you get to the controls option you want then select and adjust. Sorry if my description might be confusing. This stereo really has way too much on it.

Tommy, yes you can view with binos clipped in. I have medium sized (10x42) binos, and the harness easily holds them secured into the body. I don't know what size of large your talking about, but even the 12x50's I've seen I still believe it would hold them just fine. It is a very comfortable harness for me. I hope this helps you.
