Optech Pro Loop and hand grip straps with D70users logo

Postby Onyx on Sat Dec 04, 2004 9:18 pm

Just some sample pictures. I'm sure many of you have received yours already, and are already enjoying them. They are very well made, with high quality materials and workmaship. Pro Loop features a 'weight reduction' harness (believe the hype - they truly are very comfortable compared to the OEM camera strap)

Plus, they feature the D70users.com logo which is a bonus. They're passed on to members at cost, and it's a limited run I believe. Get em while you still can!!

Edit: I just discovered something - the ordering of Pixspot images are different for everyone. Hence, direct links will most likely take you to the wrong image. Gallery is here:

The Pro Loop Strap is fantastic. I love it. 10/10

Thanks to Birddog for getting them organised, and having our logo on there is a real bonus.

Is there an order for the hand grip strap??? If so can you please put me down 4 1.....
I am tired of doubling over the standard strap so it is secure to the wrist.

A silly question...
http://www.pixspot.com/displayimage.php?album=29&pos=24 is this a D70????? I was unaware of a second/base/bottom trigger for the D70...

Gerard,
Email your order at D70Gear@D70Users.com.

The pics is my D2h with vertical shutter release not D70.

I roadtested the hand grip strap yesterday while doing my 1 hour walk home from work... my hands are fairly small (compared to most peoples) and I could shoot with it on and my hand would hurt a bit from the strain, but I imagine most people would be okay.

It's a bit of a hassle having the neck strap on while using the hand grip, but I find the hand grip has becoming part of my hand and I just don't want to take it off.
