Third party strap for my Swaro EL 42 (1 Viewer)

[Jason Bugay Reyes]

Yes, but once you try the Blue Cabi you won't go back to the Swarovski or Optech strap. You will then see what you were missing in comfort.

But Blue Cabi does not have the fast flexibility like the Swarovski FP straps for attaching, removing and adjusting the length of the straps and so far for my neck and shoulders, I feel so comfy with those straps.

I never adjust the length of my strap or remove them. Why would you want to? IMO, it is just a waste of time. Set the strap where you want it and leave it there. It is like your belt. Why would you adjust your belt once it is set? The Blue Cabi have more comfortable edges against your neck than either the Swarovski strap or the Optech strap.

Waste of time for you but not for me because I work as a bird guide in the tropical rainforest and always clean the bino and adjusting the straps while on tours to suit my working conditions while carrying camera with long lens, scope and sound recording kit.

I like the Swarovski and Optech straps so much. No problem with me for whatsoever reasons and I don't intend to try Blue Cabi because it is not available in my place.

Where do you guide? What tropical rainforest? Do you use a spotter? Thanks!

Sorry to for going off topic, but what an incredible place where you work -- your photos are absolutely amazing. And I simply must ask how you ended up in Borneo?

Again, sorry to all for going off topic.

Thanks a lot for the compliment. I was born in Sabah in the 80s and my great grandparents were sent in Sabah in 1946 after the WWII by the American from the Philippines to setup the cocoa plantations...

My favorite strap for relatively heavy binos is the one that comes with the Canon IS 10x42. If you can find one sold separately (it would be far too expensive ......to buy a Canon 10x42 just for the strap) grab it.

This thread reads like someone didn't read the manual to see how to shorten their field pro strap.
