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!

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. ;)

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

lol

I ordered some hardware from Black Rapid and same as you - sitting at Canada Post.

Hmm I need to order one of these too.

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?

whats the difference between rs5 and rs7?

Is it just that the rs5 has more pockets?

You guys should've gone to Beau ;)

Beau has em? wonder how much

kerrisdale camera has em too. lol

for $99. For $30 less, I don't mind waiting. Now that Canada Post is on strike...ahrg...

B&H has it for 69.99 US... and it ships purolator

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

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

Kerrisdale is on my banned stores list.

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


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

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

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

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

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

I checked Broadway Camera and the price seems pretty good.
