Questions & Answers

Shopper : Can this strap be used with a flash on the camera?DORIS J : Yes I believe so. The strap is anchored into the bottom of the camera.BRITT F : I've never used it on my camera with a flash, but it should still work greatGREG R : Yes, but note that your camera and flash will hang upside down with this strap. So, make sure it is securely attached to the hot shoe. Also, this strap is designed for smaller camera systems. If you are using a DSLR get the black rapid RS-7 strap.KARIM B : Yes with no problem, in fact it is one of the better straps for people using a camera with an external flashSEAN N : Yes it can. It screws into the tripod thread on the bottom of the camera.ELAINE S : Yes. The strap screws into the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. On NEX-6, the place to attach an external flash is on the top of the camera, so there would be no impact on ability to use flash or not with the strap.JOHN H : I have never a flash on the camera with the strap, but most likely you can .DAVID M : Yes, this is a very strong strap and works great with the flash on the body.JAMES M : Yes it can ANEESE K : A friend of mine recommended the BlackRapid line to me. I am very grateful for it, this strap is great! The camera hangs at my waist to mid thigh, out of the way. I have yet to use it with a flash attached, but I don't see it being an issue for you. You can adjust the length and where you would like the camera to hang to possibly compensate for the flash. Hope this helps.MICHAEL B : Yes. The strap connects to the bottom of the camera. The flash will hang straight down. Best strap I have ever owned. KRISTIN G : yes
Shopper : I'm overly protective of my camera. Will this product ever come undone or is there any chance of it falling off?DAVID M : Not unless you fail to follow instructions. The strap connection is safe and the strap is worth every penny.JOHN H : I used the sling camera strap at baseball games, parades, and bike races, I feel safe for camera wouldn't come strap.JARRED G : I have them for all my cameras both still and video and have had no problem with the fastener coming loose.EMMANUEL N : Highly doubt you will find a black rapid horror story. Their well made and screw into your camera's tripod socket. Given the fact it's a screw unless you unscrew it, its not coming off. Buy with confidence their convenient and reliable. J. D : It's rock solid. It feels much better then the threaded eyelets.STACY L : Not much chance of this coming apart. It is well made and goes diagonally across your chest. They have another style that has an underarm strap making it even more secure if you need more stabilization. I believe they call it "sport"
RON L : is this strong enough for a DSLR D7000 with a battery grip???JUAN E : I have it on my canon 7d, 24-105mm F/4L (w/o battery grip) and it works flawless. I think is the perfect size. If you are an active photographer (strong movements) or you have a heavy lens I would not recommend this one. Go for the bigger one.JOHN H : I use the sling camera strap on the D300 with battery grip, plus with the D7000 and D300s with no problem.JARRED G : No problem . I use my d600 with the Nikon 80-400 with a SB900 without any problem. RENE R : I have the smaller D5200! And it's plenty strong. I would say it would do just fine with your D7000. But you may consider the heftier one for better weight distribution on your shoulder. CALE D : The strap would be strong enough but it is intended for smaller cameras and has less shoulder padding than the other black rapid straps. You might want to look at the Black Rapid RS-7 or Sport for more comfort with a larger camera, especially for longer periods of time.MICHAEL D : The sling should have sufficient strength for your needs. I use the same sling to carry a Cannon 5D Mark III with battery grip and 70-200 F4 lens.

Getting Strapped!!!

Does exactly what it is suppose to do and does in comfort. No pain on the shoulder and with clips adjusted to your liking the camera comes up in one fell swoop, ready for action. Big improvement over the standard strap that comes with most cameras. After doing the research I chose this one. Black Rapid makes a good product at this time do not feel the need for their more expensive straps, maybe down the road I will feel different.

Anti gravitational device.

Love this strap, it is the only one I use. I have had it for awhile now and it is standing up to everyday use. Still looks new.

Still Getting Used To

For a tourist or someone who hand-holds everything, this strap is wonderful once you get used to the camera bouncing off your hip rather than your chest when you walk. However, I use a monopod or tripod with a couple of my lenses that do not have built in stability. Since this strap uses the hole on the bottom of the camera, I cannot use it and a mono/tripod at the same time, at lease with the equipment I currently have. It is liberating when used with a lens with stability. I have some issues with my upper back and this strap puts significantly less stress on my neck than a traditional strap. It allows me to shoot longer.

VERY GOOD STRAP

This strap does exactly what it's suppose to do. It holds my Canon camera quite will. Does take a small while to get use to, but after a short time it becomes second nature.

Strap for Fuji XE-1

i bought this strap for my Fuji XE-1. It works well with the camera. I was worried that the strap might not stay put on my shoulder when I lifted the camera, but it does. This is a much better way of carrying a camera than around your neck. The black rapid strap is high quality and well packaged. I am left handed so I wear the strap over my right shoulder. There are no issues with this, the strap is not made for one side of your body like some of the other models. This one does not have any pockets for extra cards or batteries, it's just the strap and swivel hook. The hook screws into the tripod mount. The one bad thing is that the swivel blocks access to the battery and SD card door, but this is really the fault of the camera. The tripod mount is too close to the battery door.

It just works.

I shot a music event all day and had my 5D with a 70-200 f2.8L slung with this strap and I had no fatigue - yet camera was easy to get to at all times. I have used other slings that were not at comfortable. I went with this over the sport version since I intend to travel with it and so far it has been exactly what I want for a system to hold a heavy rig both comfortably and out of the way. I have nothing bad to say - though I recommend the swivel cover to prevent scratching the bottom of the camera.

camera strap

Strap seems to be all it claims to be but I am still a little uncertain about the connection on the bottom. If I check and tighten it when I use it , it should hold.onco

Camera Strap

I carry a Canon 60d, 300mm F/4 IS lens, and a 1.4x converter and I get adequate support from this strap. It is not intended for this much weight, but it still does the job. I carry binoculars that hang in the center of my chest that work well with this strap holding my camera at my side. Now if I can find a strap to hold an iPad and make that accessible in the field.

Adequate

I had purchased this for my Fuji X-E1. It is the right size and weight and meets the purpose. It is well made. But I would have liked the following features too 1. The strap has to be removed to change the battery or mount on a tripod. This is inconvenient. 2. There is no safety band like some of the other brands. If the single fastner using which you screw the strap to the camera becomes loose the camera will fall. Some other straps have a second smaller piece of strap which can be fixed to this strap and tied to the camera's strap eye hole. Even if the screw comes loose the camera will not fall. 3. There is no facility for storing extra memory cards or batteries.

Just Right for carrying my Fuji X-E2

This strap is just the right weight for carrying a mirror less camera. It's lighter than the one I use for my DSLR but solid enough for piece of mind when carrying the Fuji.

Surprisingly Compact

Nice padding, I like the way it sits on the shoulders. Joby Ultrasling doesn't have any padding but seems to take more space in the bag. This is more comfortable and the metal fittings are solid and doesn't get in the way like the plastic connector on the Joby when you hold it up against your face. Joby digs into the shoulders then rides up on the neck after some walking around, irritates me. You also have to use the lock on Joby or the cam will slide down your thigh when you walk.

Perfect for Micro Four Thirds cameras

This strap is perfect for use on any micro four thirds cameras, works perfectly for what it's intended to do. Great Black Rapid quality of build, doesn't pull at your shirt when moving the camera up to capture the moment. Even resides in harmony with my sling bag. It is highly packable and stows away neatly in a small form for transportability.

This is much better than the stock strap that comes with the cameras these days!

The BlackRapid Metro Sling Camera Strap (Black) is a small, compact and lightweight way to carry around your Micro 4/3, mirrorless or compact camera. The 63" strap has been designed for lighter photographic use than other BlackRapid straps but remains as rough and ready as any of their other R-Straps such as the Sport, Curve (RS-7) or Cargo (RS-5).

The ballistic nylon top side of the strap is complemented by a foam pad made with knitted mesh. The Metro makes use of BlackRapid's well-known, respected, durable and fast using FastenR (FR-3) and ConnectR (CR-2). In addition, the smaller size of the strap makes it easier to store while traveling.

FastenR (R-3) is made from solid stock 304 stainless steel with a high-grade rubber compression washer and has an integrated D-ring. ConnectR CR-2 has a smooth swivel with a positive lock to ensure the safety of the camera or lens.
