Black Rapid RS-7 or Sun Sniper

[Mani Gill]

you need an M-plate

at $75 its not cheap but it looks the biz and fits almost every type of plate so you're not restricted to Manfrotto etc

Hi John, thanks for the heads up on the M plate, just had a look at a few sites, they sell for £59.99 here, a bit expensive in my opinion, I think I will have to stick with the notion of taking it on and off and just save myself some money.

Was considering getting this for my BR strap (think it's RS-7) - anyone seen it for less than £17? Seems a lot for such a small bit of strap - and no Q-strap alternative seem to be available!

Have a look here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=BlackRapid+Brad&_sacat=See-All-Categorieshttp://

I know what you mean, I guess I'm being a little too picky! Although when my camera is on a tripod I have an OCD complex in that I like to hold onto the canon strap, just in case it drops!(Again a bit weird I know!)

I hate having a strap hanging off the camera from the tripod so the RS7 strap makes sense to me, i decided after reading this thread to treat myself to one and i love it, the canon one is heading for the bin.

Hi, I have been using the RS7 for some time, what a difference over the standard Nikon strap.
Only real issue is the screw in fixing on the base, I very rarely use a tripod.
