Can this strap be configured like a standard OEM neck strap (camera over your chest) as well as a sling-like configuration?

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 have only used this strap over the neck. But OpTech makes a wide verity of straps. Check out their web site.

Hi Jay, it's like the Canon strap, in configuration but with the facility to clip on and off the camera. The shoulder pad is very comfortable and the camera can be carried over the shoulder or across the chest. It's not like the Joby camera strap that you can secure in position or quick release for shooting. Hope this helps. BTW I'm looking at the Joby strap for myself especially when I use long zoom lenses, I like the fact I can secure at my back out of harms way.

Yes it can, however the width of the pad will cover the back of your neck almost completely. The main benefit of this strap is when you're carrying a lot of weight. Additionally, you can use the fastex buckles to remove the center section of the strap and fasten the two short ends together to make a short hand-carry strap for your camera. The one downside of this strap is that the loops that fasten the strap to the camera tend to twist up and have to periodically be allowed to untwist by opening the buckles.

It can be made into a Sling style strap with the addition of a pair of Optech extension straps, but it will not be a "sliding" sling. For that you would need the Optech "Sling Strap Adapter".

The strap is not padded and not very wide. It is probably ok as the camera is not that heavy. However, I am going to use an aftermarket strap for increased comfort.

The strap that goes around your neck will attach to the camera. I use a hand strap that will mount to this unit. Other then those too I don't know what kind of strap you are referring.

Yes. It is actually designed to be worn as a "sling" style strap. That is from one shoulder across to the opposite hip. I wear mine from my left shoulder with my camera hanging at my right hip.

Yes, and at the other end are the open loops to secure to the camera metal eyes. One set is short and the other is long. The male & female ends snap into the optech neck strap or to the optech harness, depending on the one you want. Using this system, I can take the harness for birdwatching and hiking, then change to the neckstrap when I get back home for casual photography..

I am an inch shorter than you, 285, and 18.5 neck. I recently bought a FASTFIRE Cross-body Sling-style Camera Strap. I was able to adjust it so the camera sits at my hip. If this is the same length it should fit.

It is very possible to use the sling-strap, however the camera will be upside down and become exposed because that's the opening of the rain-sleeve where your hands enter. A nice suggestion is to have something to tie the sleeve closed so your gear isn't easily exposed to the elements. I hope this helps.

Probably but why take the chance? I do not like this strap at all. I have the feeling that it will slip off of my shoulder all of the time. I would look at other devices. The thought is great the execution is not so good.

Mine is fairly comfortable as a neck strap, although I usually do not use it that way. I usually sling it over my shoulder (similar to a rifle strap). The rubber padding is soft enough that it conforms well to the shape of my shoulder and does not slip off. I like my strap a lot because I have large digital SLR that is a bit on the heavy side. I think it is a good bargain for the price. It's a good product.

I don't think so . You need a side slot bar for the strap to fit in , the bottom screw will work . I only see a ring hole for a side strap.

Yes, you can use your own strap, I did not change mine. I have a Canon SX50HS and the protective case fits perfectly and super happy, it's worth having it. It's a five star rating.

I don't think so. It is too think and clunky for the camera strap. This intended for the camera BAG - or a messenger BAG to take the weight off your shoulder. Get a neoprene strap, or UPstrap or something like that for your camera strap.

I'm not familiar with the camera you mention, but I used it on my little Sony. The fit is really tight, and I used heavy thread to pull it through. (It was too thick to thread it the way it is).I love this strap! I used it on a trip to Europe and my camera was by my side without swinging into things, and so easy to slide it up to eye level to snap a pic. Also, the quick release let me hand the camera to someone else to take a pic.

Yes, the little loop on the end will fit into the same slot as the regular hand strap on a little Sony camera. I have a little Sony camera and that is what I brought the strap for. I wanted to be able to wear this around my neck while on tours instead of constantly holding the camera in my hand. It works great with my Sony camera.

Honestly I don't know as I use the strap that came with the camera. My strap is still wraped like the one in the photo.Alan

The strap is adjustable and it can be configured so that the camera hangs about belt level. You can actually fit it so that the camera hangs higher if you wish.

Both straps are only a few inches. You would have to purchase another strap if you want to hang it around your neck. Most camera stores would have plenty of options.
