Black Rapid
 
Anyone here use Black Rapid straps? Looking to update from the neck strap. Lugging a DSLR around your neck hurts after a while, especially on day trips.

RCubed has one - I think he's looking to sell because he's got an extra... maybe. Ask him.

whatever you do, don't do a DIY strap.

I use one. Definitely way nicer then the original neck strap that comes with your camera. I did a hike with it too and it's pretty solid. Although I didn't really like the RS Sport strap that's in the picture. I found that the underarm strap is kinda irritating. I got the RS7 instead.

I've used one for a number of years, its great!

RCubed 06-22-2011 11:00 PM

I <3 this strap. I tried Matsuda's strap and immediately bought one for myself.

I have a RS-5 for sale if you want it. PM me. ;)

Volvoman 06-22-2011 11:02 PM

I ordered the RS Sport. Forgot to tell them to ship UPS or Fedex.

Now it sits at Canada Post. fml.

At least it gets good reviews. I hate not bringing my camera out for the sake of not having to lug it around my neck

Hmm I need to order one of these too.

ddr 06-23-2011 12:30 AM

is that sport one just a rs7+BRAD strap? also, is the metal thing that screws onto the tripod hole the same as the FastenR-3 that they sell?

gilly 06-23-2011 01:48 PM

whats the difference between rs5 and rs7?

Is it just that the rs5 has more pockets?

niforpix 06-24-2011 08:04 PM

You guys should've gone to Beau ;)

!MiKrofT 06-24-2011 11:52 PM

RCubed 06-24-2011 11:55 PM

LiquidTurbo 06-25-2011 07:45 AM

Looks pretty awesome can you just bring it up to your eye instantly?

Volvoman 06-25-2011 10:04 AM

Kerrisdale is overpriced in general. It's pretty bad when it's even more expensive than buying it from BlackRapid directly.

N.V.M. 06-25-2011 02:34 PM

Kerrisdale is on my banned stores list.

JordanLee 06-25-2011 04:35 PM

I lol'd when I heard that guys Chinese in the video.


Then I realized I can't speak it at all.

gilly 06-28-2011 09:57 AM

just bought a rs-7 strap and went hiking with it the next day. i luv it.

gars 06-28-2011 10:06 AM

I got my connect-r and fasten-r in the mail today! w00t!

rageguy 06-28-2011 12:03 PM

I'm using a Crumpler industry disgrace neck strap. Perhaps I should give the Blackrapid RS-5 a try. Time to go shopping!

RangeRoverTurbo 06-28-2011 02:52 PM

Any local stores that sell this? Or have you been all buying it off online?

rageguy 06-28-2011 03:02 PM

I checked Broadway Camera and the price seems pretty good.
