Black Rapid RS-7 sling strap price reduced - bargain

Definitely a good price. I've gone for the Black Rapid RS Sport for another £14 on top. I read a lot of comparable reviews with the RS-7 and personally I like the idea of the extra BRAD strap that comes with the sport.
 
I saw the cheap price last week but they sold out quickly so I bought it at a higher price elsewhere, not happy that it's been reduced again :lol: anyway, I'm very impressed with it, especially compared with a standard camera strap.

Have you guys tried b and h for your camera gear? Not sure how it compares with your exchange rate but in Australia a lot of the items work out about half price to what we can buy locally even with shipping.

And yeah that's a great strap.
 
£43 for a strap!

I'd want some one to hang it on as well for that much! :gag:










(Brother can you spare a dime?) :wave:

I've booked marked the page. Kind of spent a far bit already this month :shake: so will have to wait and see what pennies might be spare at the end of the month, then hope the offer is still on.

I bought my Black Rapid DR2 double strap direct from BR in the US. The price was highly competitive. I had a concern about something (which proved to be unfounded) and the aftersales service was excellent - very customer focused.

Is it the same Brad strap that one can buy for RS-7?
Do you see any other benefits over RS-7 apart from that?
Thanks, I was considering Sport as well, but it was selling for close to £70 at that stage.
And then I forgot all about it and just bought RS-7:)

Not sure if it's an identical BRAD but the one on the Sport is detachable as well so I'd expect it's very similar. The other reviews I've read say the shoulder padding is a little nicer on the Sport.

Some of reviews I used to make my choice:

It does seem a pretty close call between the RS-7 and the Sport at the end of the day.

Many Thanks for that Russ, I just wish I could compare these 2 side by side...
Very tempting as sport version is approx £56 on amazon at the moment as well.
Now I feel I should have bought BR sport:bonk:
