By far the most comfortable strap I have ever owned, the black rapid is versatile and ergonomic. I recently shot a 14-hour wedding with the 5D Mark III, the last third of the day having a flash attached to the top. My feet hurt way more than my shoulders. Great product! Allows you to rest your arms and hands without the sacrifice of your neck and shoulders.

The BlackRapid RS-W1 is much better than it looks. I have the Canon 5D Mark 111 and it is very heavy and with the Tamron 70-200mm lens it is very, very heavy. When I hooked everything up I reread the instructions to make sure it would hold, well to my surprise it holds up and works the way it said it would. Nice to have and use. Getting another one for my other Canon, Rebel. Buy it, you won't be sorry. Thanks for reading, Jean E.

Seems like a great investment for long days at weddings to help carry my second d700. I haven't actually used it yet, but it fits well and the screw on seems very secure and high quality.

I picked this out for my wife and she loves it. Both my wife and I are new to photography and she wanted something that wouldn't kill her neck like the ones that come with your camera. If your like me that checks every review and video, this is the one to buy.

Anything that takes the weight off my neck and frees up my hands is a GOOD thing! The price is a bit high but to many photographers I'm sure that the added comfort will be appreciated. Its also nice not to have your expensive camera and lenses swinging to and fro while you walk or bend forward.

It's nice to have it on your hip while not shooting, it gets less jostled.

I photograph birds using my Canon 7D and 300mm+1.4 extender so this is rather heavy setup for a petite woman to carry around. I had the Cottoncarrier Holster, but I nearly lost my camera twice when the screw unloosened. The Black Rapid was recommended and it does the job of letting me quickly grab my camera when I need it and hangs comfortably at my hip while walking. Great product for the price.

The BlackRapid RS-W1 Camera Strap is a lightweight strap specially designed with a curved pattern for women. A locking FastenR3 connects the strap to the tripod socket located on either the camera body or the lens. Once connected, the camera hangs upside down, resting securely at the side or in the small of the back, with the lens pointing behind. The strap has a curved pad with a mesh underside for comfort and breathability. The weight is evenly distributed for comfort.
