Camera strap

Has anyone ever used or do use this strap?

OP/TECH USA Gotcha Wrist Strap (Black) 6701252 B&H Photo Video

I have an older Pentax neck strap that is driving me to distraction. It hangs on everything, it makes my neck hurt and most it is just annoying.

I usually just carry my K-x by the right side, so I thought maybe this would work better.. Thoughs and comments welcome.

Please keep in mind, I'm on a fixed income so this price is good for me.

Thanks. I saw this originally on Amazon, but I don't like to order from them, so I copied the name and put it in google and it came up as being at B&H. Looking again at the one on B&H, I see this is not like the one you have or I saw on Amazon.

Questions. Does the wrist strap fit snug enough it doesn't slide? And is it adjustable. My wrists are only 7" around.

Thanks. I'll be ordering one next week. This plain Pentax neck strap gives me a backache and a headache.

It has the same numbers. But it doesn't quite look the same. Well, I think I'll break my rule about buying from Amazon and get it straight from there, next week.
Thanks again for your help.

For a DSLR order "OP/TECH USA 6701062 SLR Wrist Strap, Neoprene Camera Wrist Strap (Black) $8.95". It comes with uni-loop so you will have what you need. It is a really good wrist strap that you can adjust to your wrist size as snug as you want and the price is right. I have been using it for a year now and it is very durable/proper width and the only Op/Tech "wrist strap" model you should be using to support a DSLR.

And that's your opinion. I looked at this one and it says it's 11 inches long. Is that the strap length or the whole of it?

Same results here; I use them many times a week, but...

One also has to se precautions about ever ordering online. For instance it would be wise never to use a WiFi cafe for BOTH online ordering or any type of banking/financing options; especially if they aren't using WiFi N.

lol--of course it's my opinion--now back to business---the 11" is the length laid out with uni-loop attached--off the camera. Its 9.5" attached to camera with no wrist in it. It is about 5.5" on camera with your wrist in it snugged up and of course you can adjust it to be longer if you need to---it's a neoprene strap so even snugged up it has some give to it---Hope that helps.
