User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Not on my Nikon
I wish I had read the critical reviews more closely before ordering this strap. I had hoped to provide some security for my Nikon D40 without the neck strap which I dislike. Trouble is that if I cinch it tight enough for security, I can hardly get my finger on the shutter release.

4 Stars Opteka wrist strap
This is an excellent buy. Be sure to look at the customer photos for a better attachment method that allows more physical flexibility while maintaining the security of the strap. I’m female and, while I have fairly large hands, I did find that having the side of the pad with the most curvature toward my wrist gave me a more secure and comfortable fit.

4 Stars Too large
I bought this item because my hands are very small, so small I find carrying my DSLR difficult for long periods of time. This item was made for large (maybe bigger male) hands and didn’t even adjust small enough to skim my fingers. Obviously, didn’t do what I needed it to do, no support. Not a defect or negative for the average user, but the company could have made adjustments for slim, female hands.

Just keep it in mind if this applies to you.

5 Stars Great Strap
This makes a marked difference in comfort holding a camera for a long time. I use this on a T2i with battery grip, or without the grip, and it’s VERY comfortable. For the price you can’t go wrong.

5 Stars Perfect strap
Excellent purchase. Strap gives me security for my DSLR. It fastens through the neckstrap swivel on the top of the camera and the tripod mount on the bottom. The tripod screw that fastens has a male for attaching to the camera and a female that accepts the tripod without undoing. Comfortable when holding.

1 Star Instruction DVD not well designed
I just bought the D90 camera so was happy to find this DVD and got it and the next in the series of teaching one to use the Nikon D90. I was very disappointed in this product. It’s like they know cameras and photography but don’t have clue how to teach it. Seems like they said, “Lets talk as fast as we can and let’s make it as confusing and as difficult to follow as we can.” There was no step by step progression from one subject to the next. There was no repetition. If I taught my language classes like this the students would walk out of the class. Poorly designed by intelligent people who don’t know how to teach. So I’m returning the DVD

The second DVD is really for the advanced user with much technical talk about color and formating that only a professional would benefit from and it has the same problem of lack of progression and too much speed. Between segments there is guitar music that’s very annoying. I doubt they presented these DVDs to a focus group before putting it on the market. It would never pass.

5 Stars Excellent Overview of the Nikon D90 Camera
This is an excellent DVD designed specifically for the Nikon D90 Camera. Pause the DVD and try out the topics as they are given. This DVD as well as the advanced Digital Crane DVD will give you a fast understanding of the cameras features and settings. I would reccomend this DVD to anyone who has this camera.

5 Stars Nice little pocket tripod
This is a really good product. We got it so we can take pictures when we are out and do not want to carry the big tripod. I was not expecting much since it is small, but it really works well.

The best feature is the swivel top. It can really move around well. It works best with a small camera, but standing upright, the tripod works just as well with our digital SLR.

1 Star my first one rating, ever
don’t waste your money, it may be a 50 cent item, at most, does not work, plastic and very bad plastic at that:<(
