OP/TECH USA 6501052 Overview

10 of the Best Gifts for Photographer Moms

Create a safety lanyard for your camera on the Urban Sling with the use of the System Connectors - Extensions (sold separately). For added peace of mind for those photographers who would normally only have one connection point, you can attach your camera to the sling by two points with the use of an Extension System Connector (sold separately as a set of two). One Extension piece attaches to the back quick disconnect on the sling and connects to the Uni-Loop attached to the left side of the camera. When you raise your camera to the shooting position, the Extension lanyard remains out of the viewing area.

While actively moving around with your Urban Sling, secure your camera to your side with the second Uni-Loop Connector. The second Uni-Loop Connector attaches to your belt loop which can then be connected to the Urban Sling second quick disconnect. Move freely while hiking, biking or navigating busy streets and keep your camera secure.

When shooting with a larger lens, reduce stress on your camera's lens mount with the System Connector - Lens Loops (sold separately). The Lens Loops protect your camera's lens mount from the added weight and stress of a heavy lens, while positioning the it comfortably at your side.

Protect your camera from bumps, moisture and dust while attached to the Urban Sling with a neoprene Soft Pouch (sold separately). It remains snug on the camera and can be quickly removed so that you never miss a shot. Available in a wide variety of styles and sizes to fit almost any camera.

Good to defeat knives.

This is a good system to defeat strap cutting knives. I have taken off my branded camera straps and am using this now. My only suggestion is to have a small metal slider to lock the carry clips in place so they would not be able to be unlatched easily in an attack.

Comfortable and worked with other gear

Hiking/Walking along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon the Op-Tech Urban Sling worked well with my Mind shift Ultra Light camera cover to provide extra support and security. The Mind shift Ultra Light bag has a built in hip belt and wears on the hip like a low profile and stealthy holster bag. The Urban Sling, worn across the body over the opposite shoulder, provided additional support and flexibility by staying attached to the camera while the camera was inside the Mind Shift and when the camera was deployed for hand held shooting. Setting up the Urban Sling was easy in that it ships with 2 additional short Uni-loops which attach to the camera.. These short Uni-loops then are snapped to the Urban Sling snaps for normal camera carry and hand held shooting. The snaps made it easy to detach and re-attach the camera from/to the Urban Sling when converting between hand held shooting and tripod shooting. The shoulder pad on the Urban Sling was very anti-slip and comfortable for supporting the weight of a full-frame DSLR.

Comfortable camera strap

The Urban Sling is a bit confusing at first to adjust, as it can be used for right or left handers. It attaches to one of the strap handles on the side of the camera, leaving the tripod attachment free for a tripod or monopod. Once adjusted, it is very comfortable to use, makes grabbing the camera convenient, and feels secure in even dicey neighborhoods.

Very comfortable and well made

This strap is super comfortable and durable. The strap holds your camera so it doesnt tug on your shoulder and is very adjustable. You can spend a lot more on straps but you dont have to. This strap is worth every penny that it costs. It is made in America and I like supporting U.S.A. companies. They have a strap for every kind of photographer!

One thing keeps this strap from being great

I bought this for going on a trip with my D750 to an area where I was concerned about security. It is easy to put on the camera and does a good job of holding it near to your body. The clips are set up so that you can't attach the camera backwards. The thing I don't like is that the clips tend to slide toward each other as you lift the camera to your face. You have to spread them apart so the strap won't be in your face (literally) when you're looking through the viewfinder. It's not nearly as convenient as the (brand x) strap that attaches to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. I really hoped that this would work better than the stock strap. I would return this, but it's past the 30 day window for returns. Sigh.

Comfortable sling

Works and feels just like the other great slings from Op Tech. Updated with a cable wire running inside the double weave strap. This wire starts at the end of the permanently attached shoulder pad in the back to a few inches past the middle of the strap length. The strap length in front does not have the wire, as this would hinder the connectors from freely sliding on the strap. The urban does include the newer adjustment clip to quickly shorten or lengthen the strap. The shoulder pad is VERY comfortable and stretches to accommodate the weight of gear bouncing up and down, thereby making it feel substantially lighter on your shoulder. A great quality strap, Only downside for me, due to the permanent pad attachment, is it cannot be switched out to a double sling harness.

question

How does this strap attach to the camera? Does it use the camera body eyelets or the tripod mount?

Asked by: Randy

It uses the camera body eyelets with short loops with snaps that attach to the Urban sling snaps so you can detach the camera easily. However, you can also get OP-TECH Secure-ITS Velcro strips that can be looped through the snaps to make unsnapping difficult for added security. After all the objective of the Urban sling is security in the first place.
