Camera Sling Question.

That was one of my worries too Chris. If you screw the eye part in firmly it seems very secure as the rubber washer grips it well.
You could also run a bit of para cord or suchlike from one of the strap holders on the camera to the sliding carabina for a bit of extra safety if you wanted.

Thanks Stew,

That's what I was hoping for.

I'm off to spend my Amazon birthday vouchers.

I bought the Sun Sniper Steel, this has a steel wire running the whole length of the strap for added security. I love it, D700, gripped with 70-200, camera comes easily and quickly to the eye. Used it for two hours for a kids birthday party a couple of weeks ago...perfect.

Hi Stew, Thanks for this info. Yes I think that I have settled on the Black Rapid so will go to their site and decide which model.. I see that you have the 7 version. Thanks again. Geoff

Hi Geoff,

I took the plunge today & picked up a Black Rapid strap, I went for that over the Sun Sniper because as far as I can make out the Sun Sniper one is not adjustable. Now obviously I haven't used it in anger in the big wide world out there yet but I've had a damn good pose & practice with it in front of the bedroom mirror.:lol:

1st impressions are ..it's fantastic, very comfortable & the camera comes easily to hand & more importantly to eye. Yep I'm in love with it already (Mrs Chimper reckons I used to look at her like that):lol:

The Optech ones look pretty good in the ads. too, (& cheaper) but I couldn't find a store near me that had them in stock & I wanted to try the sling this weekend.

Geoff, best start dropping hints for your birthday as soon as possible. I always find a few mags left around lying open at a page with an ad. for what you want a good way. ;)

Hi Gary, do you happen to know what the difference is between the R2 and the R3 fastener? Anyone else know in case Gary doesn't?

:thumbs: Black Rapid RS4 First impressions.

The strap arrived today, it looks well made and feels comfortable, I like the way you can bring the camera up to eye level whilst the strap stays in position, less fiddly than taking the shoulder strap off.

I've not been out and about with it yet, but it certainly feels more comfortable than the Canon shoulder strap.
