I am still waiting for my 1DmkII, but already can tell that the standard Canon strap is probably too narrow to be comfortable with a 24-70L or 70-200L attached, especially with a 550EX. Anyone got a good idea for a better, wider, more padded strap to buy for this baby. I have already ordered the hand strap.

Thanks

Try the Optech pro models.

The Op/Tech Pro Loop seems to be the neck strap of choice amoung most photographers. I have one on my 1D Mk2 and my 1v. They are comfortable, light weight, sturdy, reliable and relitively inexpensive. It comes in a variety of colors. Is carried by most camera stores.

Thanks for the input all. I will probably go for the Optech Pro. Lots of data on their web site and at B&H.

I am reduced to ordering accessories for my MkII while you guys are getting to play with it. Not fair.

Thanks

  • Maybe one day I'll take a decent picture. In the meantime, I'll blame the equipment. :)

The Quick Disconnects on the Optech worries me though... It is like a disaster waiting to happen.

You'd see a ton of complaints from people here and on other forums. It's probably one of the most popular straps.

I think it is tamrac...padded with a sued material on the outside...it alos has the "quick connect." I have never had a problem with it coming unconnected and it is very comfortable.

Can the Optech Pro loop neck strap be installed together with the E1 handstrap?
