Sorry to hear you had bad luck with the one you bought. I have the RS7 and its really amazing, my biggest lens is a 70-200 f2.8 so not sure how that would compare to your 100-400

+1 for the RS7, my biggest kit is a D3 with 70-200 f2.8 too, it carries that easily and imagine it could carry a lot more comfortably. I'm not familiar with the strap you mention, do you think it was genuine?

I had the RS4 and it carried my gripped 50D with the 100-400 no problem at all.

Thanks RS-4 it is .

I use the RS-7 with 100-400/7D no problem at all - just watch out you don't knock/hit anything with the lens dangling by your hip...

I have a RS-7 and I ordered mine direct from the US as it was a lot cheaper took about a week.

Which fastener did it arrive with?

My strap was a quick rapid draw,... not a genuine black rapid

I've been toying with buying the RS7 for a while now, but not sure it's worth the money? I guess if I do I'll avoid eBay.

I've got the RS-Sport and I'd definitely recommend that - think it was around £70

Definitely worth it imo. Wish I got one 8 years ago. They are so comfortable.

I got the RS7 but was after the Sport which seems to be rare at the moment in the UK, so I just ordered the little under arm strap and job done.

Having now purchased the RS-4 and managed to get the idea of how it works, i can honestly say its worth the extra compared to the quick draw one ,as i have tried both .Twice as much but the quality is twice as good.
