Originally posted by Volker76 I have seen so many of this plastic 'locks' fail over the years... I am not really comfortable with something depending on them. So.. how is the long term experience with these?
I still have and use my original bought in 2010. I've since bought two more for different cameras. And another strap pad so I have a black 'formal' one and a camo one.
The connectors are high quality and I see no sign of wear. There are different grades of those plastic connectors, in fact just this afternoon I was looking at a camera bag in a shop that had them. They were obviously cheap and made of soft plastic. I passed on the bag. The connectors on the op/tech straps are a completely different story.
They have built their business on those connectors, I'm guessing they know what they are doing.
