OP/TECH Stabilizer strap

Has anybody tried the OP/TECH Stabilizer strap ...

.... w/ a long lens like Tamron 90mm (2.7"x3.8" cylinder, 14.24 oz)
or long & heavy like the Minolta 70-200mm f/4 (~3"x6", 24.5 oz)?

My purpose is mainly to keep the camera+lens more stabilized (than
what is possible w/ just the neck strap) until the destination of
subject is reached. Holding the lens w/ one hand gets tiresome,
more so while transporting a tripod.

I've not used it personally. Still, looking at the picture, you might not
want to have something heavy or long poking straight out... perhaps look at
this strap also?

Thanks Simon for the alternative.


Is the phrase "hook & loop material" more in fashion than velcro
in/around UK?

Might be a little tricky to find it in stock though.

It seems to be the non-branded alternative, yes... I see the term
used here fairly often too.
