Superb purchase- I have a right shoulder issue so keeping 2 bodies on the left side is perfect for shooting concerts.

I've only used this a few times so far as it's winter in the Northwest and I've been somewhat occupied by other things but I have managed a few outings and here's what I think so far. I like the way it sits and the safety features of the strap. It's pretty robust which is good because I've got a D850/Nikon 200-500 combo on one side and a D300 with a 18-200 on the other and I don't want anything dropping off. The down side to the rig is that it's not convenient to put one on a tripod in a hurry. You have to undo the attachment, put your base plate on, and then put that on the tripod. This takes time. However, that said, it's good for what it's good for and that's carrying a camera around with you and not having it go somewhere it's not supposed to, like into the river, lake, mud, etc. It's comfortable to wear too.

I carried a Canon 5D iv with a 100-400mm on the main strap and a pair of Canon binocs on the drop down strap. It was way too much weight on the one shoulder. Not sure how folks carry two DSLRs unless they are lightweight one. I realize the 100-400 is heavy as is the 5D, but my purpose is wildlife and that is the gear and it did not work well. There are also a confusing amount of steps. It is a good solution for lighter weight items and if you need a dual only on occasion IMHO. Returning.

This is a quality product but did not work for my intent. I had a Canon 5Diii with 100-400mm on the main strap and a Canon IS binocs on the drop down. This put too much on the one shoulder. Yes I know that is a heavy package but that is what I need to carry. This is my wildlife photo gear and this did not work. I may try the double. I like the versatility of the hydrid to use a solo, but did not work for me.

Lightweight. I love the option to use it as a single strap. Even in very hot environments it is unnoticeable & dries (sweat) rapidly. Camera hanging & shooting stop adjustments hold firmly. The additional secure strap that is provided is nice too. Recommended for alternative to the double-strap slings.

I bought this strap intending to carry two DSLRs during a several hour long outdoor action session, and it did the job perfectly, and was SO comfortable to wear. My favorite feature is the lock straps to hold the camera in place while it's not in use. It's such a comfortable strap I've switched to using this one for my single camera setup also.

Having the option to carry two cameras is great, but being able to carry one or two with the same strap is perfection. I've used it for two wedding, and a senior session, so far and I couldn't be more happy. It's light and stays wear I put it, it's easy to set up and use as well. Blackrapid hit a homerun with this one.

An awesome hybrid camera strap to easily use two cameras. Works great for it's use and is made of material that doesn't cut into your shoulder. Great buy!

Perfect product for what it does. Its really hard to justify paying such a premium for a strap though. I just bought a custom leather one on Etsy that works with 3 cameras from Etsy.

Hybrid Breathe strap. Very happy with sling and comfort of the strap however I was working at -36C photographing polar bears with a brand new strap when the strap buckle at the quick release point snapped off at the point where there is a label BLACKRAPID.COM PAT. 8047729 on the shoulder webbing, I had a NIkon D500 with a 70-200 2.8 attached I just managed to catch it before it almost fell onto solid ice. At a close look there are three small plastic attachment points for the buckle which are insufficient and weak under stressfull conditions. Perhaps the temperature contributed to this product failure? The Sport and Curve are much better as they are stitched at attachment points with no plastic clip taking the strain or weight.
