Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Michael S : Need another strap. It has a good review on wirecutter.LANCE H : I've been frequently shooting events and wildlife for decades. I use the little zipper pocket for a spare battery and memory card. I've been using my original Black Rapid RS-4 for probably 15 years. It finally just plain wore out at the metal swivel joint. I see BR has made many improvements over the years (easier to adjust, better camera attachment, nicer clamps). I also have their dual-camera harness and can't see myself using any other brand.Joel B : I had purchased this product before and pleased with the build quality and comfort/convenience.

Going to use it with a speed flash for event photography.ALLAN O : Recommended for travel by Scott Kelby.STEPHEN W : It's a very comfortable camera strap and I really like the zippered pocket in the shoulder pad; it's a great place to keep a lens brush, and why the zippered pocket was removed from the newer BlackRapid straps is beyond me.CHARLES K : I OWN ANOTHER BLACKRAPID STRAP AND IT HAS PERFORMED EXCEPTIONALLY WELL SO I AM BUYING ANOTHER FOR A SECOND CAMERA, BOUGHT MY FIRST BLACKRAPID STRAP FROM ADORAMA AS WELL VERY GOOD COMPANY TO DEAL WITH, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.CHRISTINE A : Looking for something comfortable to wear instead of my neck strap to shoot weddingsYOLANDA C : GOOD CHOICESCOTT H : Seen a review of this strap, it is versatile, adjustable and has a wide shoulder.CHARLES S : Positive recommendations from users, like the attachment system, can be worn either right or left, got good response from company on inquiries.SUSAN H : I have arthritis and need a extra supportGEORGE W : I have heard good things about this strap and was looking for a more comfortable way to carry my camera.JAMES K : Suits my needs with good ratio of price to qualityJEFFREY C : needed a strap for second cameraROBERT C : Because a friend of mine has one of these and he likes itAMY Z : recommended by a friends.

BlackRapid camera strap works for me!!

I appreciate that the team at BlackRapid continues to improve their products. I do hope that this new strap lasts longer than either of the last three I've owned. Best comfort and convenience in straps and only durability left for a complete conquest of my needs!

Excellent product

I had read excellent reviews about this product and tried it for myself. The reviews were correct. The shoulder pad is comfortable and well padded. The strap moves within the pad automatically when you bring the camera up to shoot photos. The attachment mechanism is strong and sturdy. I would highly recommend this product.

Wonderful Camera Accessory

These are SO much better than a traditional camera strap. Can't believe I waited so long to get one.

Comfortable and solid

Very comfortable and easy acquisition of camera even using my Sony a7 with fe 200-600mm lens. Really like the way it locks camera in place allowing freedom of movement without camera body and lens bumping all over. Tether is nice too.

Black rapid breat camera straps

Bought my first black rapid camera strap a couple years ago and it has been a great strap. Very comfortable on my shoulder and it distributes the camera and lens weight very well. Just purchased a second black rapid strap for a second camera and this strap has a tearjerker strap. Highly recommend black rapid straps.

long overdue

Why did I not buy this years ago? It is comfortable to wear, camera is not hanging off my neck and slides to my side. The camera attachment is via a quick disconnect carabiner and has a safety strap.

Nifty little gadget

I have bought many straps and handles of the years mostly i end up taking them off and not using anything. I used this for a 4 mile hike through the woods yesterday. I love it. The 2 little sliders lock my rig in place while im walking and they are easy to move with one hand so i can have quick access to my camera when i need it. Wish i found it sooner.

Life changing

It's great! I chose it for a gift, because I have been so happy with the one I've had for three years. I have had cervical spine surgery and this strap takes all the weight off my neck, which I think is good, even if you haven't had neck surgery. It is extremely comfortable and easy to adjust. I particularly like the zipper pouch. This was intended for extra flash cards, but I keep the tripod quick release fitting in there, to make sure I don't forget it, since the BlackRapid strap fits into the tripod mount on the camera. You can't go wrong with this strap!
