Questions & Answers

KJ O : Can this strap be used on either shoulder? Every sling strap I see is on the left shoulder for right handed folks (which I am). But! I have a funky left shoulder for another year or so until surgery repair, so need a strap that work on either shoulder.RANDY B : Yes this can be used on the left or right shoulder. My wife and I love ours. We got ours to get weight of the cameras/lens off of our necks. It's worth the purchase.MICHAEL J : Works on either shoulder. You may also want to check out a Cotton Carrier. Save yourself from future issues and don't buy from Adorama.VIRGIL P : I've used mine on either shoulder (have two so may hook them together) - just have to wear it reversed for the under arm strap if you want added security but usually I don't. Have worn it underneath jackets if it is really rainy (am in Portland, OR) with my Nikons with large (600mm and wide angle 14-24mm). Also get the Black Rapid Lock star for added security.
Shopper : Is the under arm strap removable?DANIEL A : Yes it isLucinda B : Yes, it's removableALAN S : Yes it is. I actually prefer to not have it attached.REBECCA T : Yes it is!JIM P : Yes. But I wonder why you would want to remove it. The strap keeps the rest of the strap from sliding out of place.RANDY L : Yes it is.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?AVEY S : Husband has a green one alreadyNORMAN R : I bought this to replace the one I lost. I've been using Black Rapid straps for years. They are the best in the photo world!PATRICK O : Seemed like there was a bit more fabric over the sport.DARIA G : this item has great reviews and i needed a new strap for my Sony ArIII ... cant wait to try it!ROLAND B : Needed for a replacementRobert S : Good ratings.

Phenomenal harness

Huge fan of the BlackRapid stuff, used a single harness for years and switched to the double when I started doing more corporate work. They are light, breathe well and I never have issues with worrying about my cameras being secured.

I've been testing and making do with various straps for too long. My neck is sore, my arms hurt, nothing has been 'just right'. This strap fixes EVERYTHING and is perfect! I hike for birding and nature trips on 2-5 hour round trips with my mirrorless and a 400mm lens + a pack with water + essentials. This strap finally makes these trips 100% painless and effortlessly enjoyable. Thank you!

Ease of Use

Amazing, I am so glad I bought this product. Ease of use, practical, and the fact that I can switch to just using it for single shooting is a plus.

I've used my sport strap on a thousands of shoots and it still looks as good as they did when I got it. This Double is a game changer for a two camera shoot!

I met the BR founder In Vegas at trade show and he gave me a strap as a gift, it was very generous. Now it's been many years later and I'm still using BlackRapid straps. I recently upgraded to the Breathe line and double wow you have really evolved with this new Breathe strap, I love it!

Need to carry two cameras? GET THIS!

If you need more than one rig then this is the harness for you. Holds your gear firm AND securely. It distributes the weight evenly. It puts the weight on your shoulders and NOT your neck. I've carried an R6 with an EF 70-200 f/2.8 and an R5 with an EF 24-70 f/2.8 (both with battery grips) for HOURS and felt great! It comes apart so you can use it with a single camera if you need to. It has plenty of places to adjust things. Must have for a professional who needs more than one rig and has to switch cameras quickly. I wish I had gotten this thing YEARS ago!

As a wedding photographer for the last 6 years I knew you are the origalnal camera strap/sling that used the tripod hole to connect. I thought that was a cool concept but i thought I needed to do a leather style for formal events/weddings. OK, lol I must confess I did that since the time I stated shooting weddings now I know better. A friend let me try their Blackrapid double and WOW! what a difference it made in my shoulders plus much better hardware - big fan now - thank you for making such a great product.. I will DM you on Instagram any cool photos of me in action with my new BR.. I will for sure spread the word about you guys!

I have twice now bough replacement straps when I forgot this strap at home. ???? I gave them away... while the $$ of straps are all about the same. this strap is far supirior for birding. I have my binocular harness on top of strap and it stays secure and is easy to access my camera when I need to be quick. I love the stabilizers so the camera doesn't bounce around and the arm brands keeps the strap from jumping up when I am using my binos.

I've been a photographer for 30 years and my shoulders have been giving me pain for all the years of camera weight around my neck and shoulders. I was introduced to Blackrapid camera straps and "WOW" what a life saver! It makes my shooting experience so much more comfortable. No more pain. Thanks BR for such a great product. I have told all my photographer friends about your straps, keep up the great work..

I've been living in my van, traveling the country and creating my art full time for 2.5 years. I shot over 55 terabytes of images through my cameras and put 110K + miles on my van. Your harness has been with me through it all and has never failed me. It is one of my essential items.

Female pro shooter, 5' tall, 115lb: I ordered the regular before seeing that there was a Double Breathe Slim version. Loved the comfort of the shoulder harness in the regular, but not possible to shorten the straps enough for my height. Then discovered the Slim version so returned the regular and ordered it (now I wish I had waited before returning the regular). While I can (just barely) get the straps shortened enough for my height, I've found the narrower (and possibly less padded?) shoulder harness of the Double Slim not nearly as comfortable as the regular - and of course that is where all the weight of two large sensor DSLR's plus lenses is placed. If I had time before my next multi-day shoot, I'd go back to the regular and see if it's possible to have the straps altered to fit. I realize I'm among an extremely small percentage of pro's height-wise and can't reasonably expect a company to design for very small physiques, but hopefully this will help others in the same boat. My advice would be to order one of each, and then see if the double slim, or paying for alterations to the regular (if it's even reasonably doable) is the best choice for you.

Difficult to put on quickly. The video makes it look simple to wear, but not so much in real life.

Secure & Comfortable

By ChanceB737

I have a Black Rapid regular single camera strap, and am really happy with it. While arranging my gear for a workshop shooting a sailing race from a boat I thought using my current camera body & my old camera body to avoid changing lenses in what could be a challenging environment, as well as avoiding the possibility missing a shot. The Black Rapid double camera strap came to mind.... The ability to have both cameras secure so they won’t fall in the water is key. Comfort is equally important ...

I have a multitude of various straps, both single camera and multiple cameras capacity. I shoot HS Sports for local newspapers and I always go back to my trusty ol BlackRapid Double Breathe Camera Harness. It is the Best for full court basketball usage. I have my 70-200 on my left side for basket to basket shots complimenting my 24-70 on my right for under the basket shots. Switching from one body to the other is nearly instantaneous. This harness is the ultimate in comfort, security and mane...
