OP/TECH USASwivel Hook Connector - System Connectors,Black

I have used a lot of Op/Tech products and this allows me to use quick connects to my camera when wearing my backpack

I own the  Kata Bumblebee DL-210 Backpack (Black) that has d rings on the shoulder strap. When testing walking around and using the Op/Tech neoprene strap around my neck (with the backpack on) ended up be a bit much. Using the swivel hooks on this strap, i can attach my Sony A77 to the d rings on the kata bag. I just leave the neoprene neck strap in the bag when not in use.As the title indicates, the ONLY issue i have is that this is LONG. shortest length this offers is like 12" which brings my camera below my waist line (as the camera straps already are at a few inches).To fix this for me, i ended up feeding the strap slack through the "length shortener buckle" (I have NO idea what its call but in the picture its the part in the middle). Then i took 2 small black zip ties and folded the slack as much as possible. ( will uploads pictures soon).I did several drop test and with having 2 zip ties (above and below buckle) it has kept its position.Now i will have the added benefit of taking my camera's weight off solely on my neck for long walksUpdate:After further review, i should have got the  OP/TECH USA 1301062 System Connectors (Uni Loop) - Extra Connectors for OP/TECH USA Straps with Quick Disconnects  This would have worked a tad bit better. I could have feed the loop around the D ring for a secure fit

This review applies to the Swivel Hook Connector, Classic Strap, and Adapt-its combination. If you are like me and use many cameras but don't want to maintain many permanently attached straps, and sometimes wish to use a camera with no strap, then OP/TECH has a solution for you. The tiny plastic Adapt-it loops are the only things that remain permanently in your camera rings, and then you snap in the Swivel Hook Connector; it removes very quickly also.This is a good design and makes more sense than threading those awful ugly narrow nylon straps through your rings. However, OP/TECH has used rather poor materials; the black straps on the Swivel Hook item look to be the very cheapest type of loosely woven polyester from China.The whole system is flexible, inexpensive and it works - but the appearance and durability may not match your fine quality cameras. Also, the unique item is the tiny Adapt-it loop; once you have those you can attach many kinds of straps and swivel hooks. You don't need the rest of the OP/TECH.

Like D. Carrio I use mine with my backpacks. I have a an overnight pack and a daypack that have D-rings on the shoulder straps. This allows me to carry my somewhat heavy SLR with my on backpacking trips into the mountains, etc. The only issue is they are pretty long. The camera hits me a little below my belly button and the length allows it to swing out and bounce back into my belly while I am hiking. Not a problem with a light camera but with my Canon 60D and 24-105 lens it gets annoying quick. I plan on folding the straps over and securing them a little shorter somehow (safety pin or maybe a rivet perhaps) but I have not yet done this.

Highly useful and adaptable - but not beautiful. This Op-Tech stuff is reliable and functional but a bit 'clunky' compared for instance with the Peak Design gear - which is much more expensive

Love their modular design. How it helps is up to your imagination. 4 stars is due to a lot of thread ends on the product. I have to use scissors to cut them.

This system is great. I use a lot of OP/TECH products and this allows me to take the load off my neck strap, and use them with loop rings on a backpack. I can clip from one strap system to another with ease. An absolute necessity for any kit. You can also join the two clips to make a full strap to hang your camera. Good strength. These haven't let me down yet. Could be shorter, though. The minimum length feels a little too long.

I bought this as part of a system to backpack with my camera. I use this in conjunction with the strap adaptors to hold my camera bag at my chest for easy access. It works great and keeps the camera bag very secure so it doesn't move around while I'm hiking through whatever terrain. I haven't tried canyoneering or rock climbing with it because I think the bulk of the camera would get in the way. Great product/system!

These hooks attach to an op/tech neck pad to give a camera strap that can attach to anything with attachment loops (such as a camera with op/tech adapt-its). The length of each connector is adjustable between 30cm and 50cm. This makes them fine for a neck strap, but if you wanted to adapt a sling strap or wrist strap to have a swivel hook then these are too long. You can tie away the excess strap and the shortest I could make this was 13cm, which is manageable. The connectors feel sturdy yet lightweight.A shorter version to act as a quick release to swivel hook adaptor would be good!

A little over priced for what they are, but makes attaching a camera to a backpack very easy if you all ready have the Uni loops or Pro loops on the camera.Time will tell if the Nylon hooks are going to last.But I do like the flexible op/tech strap system.

I find the hooks are a bit of a squeeze to attach to the OP/TECH Loop Connectors - they are after all designed to work together. I also can't use them for the purpose I bought them for (attached to my camera) as the metal parts come into contact with the screen.

I am big fan of Op/Tech and have used their stuff for 20 years on my camera equipment. These connectors having latching hood connectors that enable the standard Op/Tech 3/8 strap to fit eyelets or rings on camera bodies, pouches, boxes, etc

NOT THE RIGHT SIZE FOR CONNECTING TO TRECKING.FR CAMERA SLING
