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 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

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

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