Product Information
Full details
The OP/TECH USA 1301112 Mini QD Loops are designed for photographers who need a reliable and discreet way to attach smaller digital cameras to their existing OP/TECH USA neck straps. The key benefit is the conversion of standard 3/8" straps to a 1mm mini QD loop system, allowing for secure attachment even in tight camera connection areas. A potential caveat is that these are specifically designed for smaller cameras and the recommended weight load is up to 2.5 lbs.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight this connector can hold?
Each Mini QD Loop connector has a tensile strength of up to 44 lbs, but the recommended weight load that can be comfortably carried is up to 2.5 lbs for optimal stability and safety.
How many connectors are included in a set?
Each set includes four Mini QD Loop connectors.
Can I use these with any camera strap?
These Mini QD Loops are designed to work with OP/TECH USA neck straps that feature the 3/8" Quick Disconnect system. They convert those straps to a mini QD loop connection point on your camera.
What is the diameter of the nylon cord loop?
The nylon cord loop has a diameter of 1mm, making it suitable for small connection points on cameras.
Are these suitable for heavy DSLR cameras?
These Mini QD Loops are specifically designed for compact cameras and are not recommended for heavier DSLR setups due to the weight limitations.
How long is the connector once attached?
When attached to a camera, the Mini QD Loops are approximately 6.4 cm (2.5 inches) in length.
What material are the loops made from?
The loops are made from durable nylon.
Troubleshooting
QD connector is difficult to detach
Ensure you are pressing the QD release mechanism fully. If it's still stiff, check for any debris caught in the mechanism and clean it. New connectors may be tight initially.
Cord loop does not fit through camera lug
Verify that the camera lug is designed for thin cords. If the lug is exceptionally small, consider if a different attachment method or connector type would be more suitable. The 1mm cord is designed for tight spaces.
Camera feels unstable on the strap
Double-check that both the cord loop and the QD connector are fully and securely attached. Ensure the camera's weight does not exceed the recommended 2.5 lbs load limit for this specific connector.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, first attach the 1mm nylon cord loop through the camera's strap lug. Then, connect the male QD (with loop) to the female QD on your OP/TECH USA neck strap. The connection is secure when you hear or feel a click.
Compatibility: These Mini QD Loops are designed to convert 3/8" webbing width on OP/TECH USA neck straps to a mini QD system. They are suitable for compact digital cameras and binoculars with small strap connection points. Ensure your OP/TECH USA strap has the 3/8" QD system.
Care: Clean the loops with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. Regularly inspect the cord loop and QD connectors for any signs of wear or damage to ensure continued safety and performance.
