Black Rapid Strap
« on: January 20, 2010, 10:06:25 PM »
I have gone through a few standard camera neck straps and never found one I was totally satisfied with. I believe my search is over. I recently purchased a
Black Rapid RS-4 strap and I am absolutely thrilled with it. The strap is worn across your chest and the camera slides along the strap. Very comfortable and really well made.
For any of you "hand-holders" out there; check it out. They have videos that show it in use.

I have to agree, one of the best ways to tote your camera.
neck straps = bad
black rapid = good

I agree, far better than the neck strap. Got mine from the UK http://www.PapStrap.co.uk like you say there are videos and pics. Great bit of kit.
