as noboby has replied i take it their that when holding the camera in portrait position the base of carabina does not stick in your hands
 
I have a BR, when im outside you just shift your hands to avoid the clasp as you would expect.

I use BR straps and have exactly that problem when using a grip. It's not at all comfortable.
 
Sorry izzy, only just seen your post.

I used a BlackRapid strap on my gripped D90 and absolutely no trouble with it getting in the way.

Cheers :D
 
I use sling straps on gripped Canon 5D3 and a 7D and while my hand covers the connection I don't find it difficult or uncomforable shooting in portrait mode.

Yes it does, it is not ideal but also not a big problem. Just shift your hand a little.
 
I use a Sun Snipper, No problem
 
I use the BR rs-7, it does get in the way sometimes if its attached to the camera. Most if the time I use this strap attached to the tripod foot on a lens, it works much better like that.
 
thanks for the replies.when i return to the uk on holiday next month i will purchase a sling strap
