Op/tech Pro Loop Strap

£18/$26 www.optechusa.com

This well-priced strap features a 6cm-wide nylon/neoprene neck pad that really spreads the load out, although its square-cut edges can rub. Two clips detach the pad, leaving the connected ends able to join and form a hand strap, albeit one that’s on the long side. With this level of versatility, Op/tech straps are very popular with outdoor photographers, and this version is no exception, especially with it being so lightweight at just 82 grammes.
