Black Rapid DR-1 Double Camera Strap - For Two Cameras, With "2 Quick Release Plates" for the Manfrotto RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is unbelievable. I have a Nikon D700 and D300 and at time carry them both with the OEM strap and a 70-200 AF-s VR f/2.8 lens and a 24-70 AF-s F/2.8 lens (heavy stuff). After an hour or so my back and neck hurt. With this strap I can go all day as the weight is on my shoulders and back not my neck. What a great product. Only bad part was the vendor Amazon used. They sent the wrong item the first time, blamed Amazon, and caused me grief. Would not send me out the plates they forgot, finally I had to send the item back and reorder. Definitely not the way to do business.

Black Rapid RS-5 Black Camera Strap, Front Media Pocket, With "2 Quick Release Plates" for the Manfrotto RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this strap in conjunction with my Canon 5D Mk2. I've previously (still) own a Rebel XS and a T2i. I vehemently dislike neck straps. They're uncomfortable around the neck and they force the camera to hang awkwardly, especially with a long or heavy lens. In general I use a hand strap for added security when working with my camera but really needed something to carry it, secure it when walking, allow me access to both hands. I have a Cotton Carrier system that I use under certain circumstances but it's "I'm wearing a bullet-proof vest" appearance tends to draw unwanted attention at times.
The Black Rapid RS-5 is a great solution for me. A single side slung strap with a loop mounted carabiner attaches to your camera. Supplied with the strap is a mounting stud which can be screwed into your camera's tripod mount, or alternatively in the case with those using Manfrotto connection plates, the carabiner can be attached to the hasp. This is a great arrangement as it allows me to keep the plates in place on the camera (or long lens tripod mounts). The strap is obviously adjustable so you can get the camera hanging comfortably at your side but still swing it up easily. A padded shoulder sleeve provides for a more comfortable experience. It also has several zippered and magnetic closure pockets for small item storage (phone, battery, memory card, keys). Two adjustable inline clips on the strap help to keep the sleeve and camera in their respective places, preventing them from shifting out of place during movement from carry to shooting and back again.
Overall a really great system. This particular package, RS-5 Strap with two Manfrotto RC2 plates was a real bargain as the plates typically go for $15-20 each.

The RS-5 is a brilliant companion for those who require extra storage. It combines zippered pockets with a phone compartment roomy enough to accommodate even larger smart phones.

California Sun Sniper Steel-Steel Reinforced Padded Camera Sniper Strap (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the product. It's exactly what the description says it is: comfortable, convenient, and the embedded steel wire certainly brings peace of mind. If the product looks like something you'd want, it will most likely suit your needs beautifully. The elastic-y bounce controller makes for an especially comfortable camera-lugging experience.
However.
The $500 dollar insurance (on the model with the steel wire insert) should not factor into your purchase decision. First of all, I purchased this product in July and the insurance expires on October 1st. That's 3 months.
Second, for legal reasons, this insurance is offered for free to the consumer, i.e. not embedded into the price. I've noticed that some of these straps are selling at a higher price "with insurance" and for less without. Do not be fooled, they all come with the insurance. Get the cheapest one you can.
Third, to cash in on the insurance, one must submit 1) a police report thoroughly detailing that the camera was cut off of your person through the cord, and 2) the strap itself. The problem here is that if the strap is cut, it's probably going to be stolen with the camera and you won't be getting that $500.
Fourth, your camera and accessories attached to it (which aren't covered, by the way) are worth far greater than $500.
To conclude, this is an awesome product with a stupid marketing ploy attached to it. I fully support the strap, just don't let the insurance factor into your purchase.

Black Rapid Strap RS7 Black Fabric, Curved Ergonomic, with ConnectR-2 and FastenR-3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was an infantryman in the Marine Corps for 8 years and as such I am used to walking around all day with all kinds of things attached to, and hanging from, my body. So it was a big surprise to me when I got into photography how incredibly awkward and uncomfortable it is to walk around with a camera! I have a D300s which usually has a 16-85 or 70-300 attached, and compared to a flak jacket, ammo pouches, canteens, a rifle, and a host of other worthless stuff should be a piece of cake to carry around. Unfortunately it's always digging into my ribs, bouncing all over the place, swinging wildly if I bend or lean over - I mean it really takes the fun out of my hobby.
The Rapid Strap is based on the one-point, assault rifle slings that I am so used to and does a pretty good job of keeping my camera out of the way until needed. The problem that I have with it is two-fold: Firstly, it's way overpriced. There really isn't much to this thing and in my opinion it shouldn't be more than 40 bucks. My next problem is that it's actually too complex. When I first started seeing one-point rifle slings about 6 or 7 years ago they looked a lot like the rapid strap, with a bunch of buckles and fasteners and different straps. As time went on though, the designs became more and more simple until finally we were left with nothing but a nylon encased loop of bungy cord that clipped to the back of the rifle. This has become the standard sling for people who know what they're doing in the military, and it would make carrying a camera even easier. I hope somebody makes it soon.

Black Rapid Straps RS4 Black Fabric, Lightweight and Low Profile, with ConnectR-2 and FastenR-2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A nasty fall some years ago left me in the hospital and gave me permanent difficulties carrying things around my neck. A pound is about my limit. My binoculars at 22 oz fatigue me. My DSLR weighs in at 3 pounds. Carrying it with a normal neck strap starts hurting within 20 minutes. A birder's shoulder harness helps a little but not much. Attaching a padded monopod and carrying the kit over my shoulder was my best answer before getting this strap. That's okay for hiking but awkward in any kind of crowd. With the BlackRapid strap on my camera. I can go out for half a day with just a little fatigue.
Obviously, you don't need a bad back to benefit from this strap. I'd recommend it for any heavy camera/lens combo. The wide padded strap that slings cross body does a very good job of distributing the camera's weight and keeping it inline with the body. The free swing of the camera on the connector allows it to fall - lens down - just behind my hip and out of the way. With a bit of practice it's extremely fast to get the camera up to eye level. It also offers pockets in the strap for extra memory cards, lens cloth or other small extras. Add in easy adjustment, secure, quick attachment and quality build and you've got a winner. This is a substantial and well made product.
The strap uses the camera's tripod socket to mount so you can't use quick release plates. The attachment fitting also keeps the camera from sitting flat on its bottom. So, if you're going to need a tripod camera mount, you're probably better off using a camera bag or a belt holster, which you probably already own. For a hand held shots, though, it's the best thing I've seen.
If you find your camera a bit heavy and your back aching at the end of the day, or if you just appreciate well made, designed and comfortable straps, then here's the most comfortable strap around.

Quick Neck Shoulder Strap for Canon Nikon Sony Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this shoulder strap for one week. I love a shoulder strap so much better than a neck strap. Its so much more comfortable. The only problem with this shoulder strap is the clip that attaches to the camera is chinsey. it broke while I stood in my driveway and my camera (d700) and the brand new lens (Nikon 24-70mm 2.8) went crashing to the concrete. Luckily, it landed on the edge of the lens protection filter, which was the only thing that broke. I immediately bought some new hardware to repair the broken part. I was very disappointed that for how much this strap costs that they didn't use better hardware. THE CLIP IN THE PICTURE IS NOT WHAT I GOT.
