Black Rapid BRAD (Arm Defense) Further Details

Black Rapid R-Strap System further details

The Original Camera Sling.

The R-Strap is the most innovative camera strap ever to hit the market. This patent-pending piece of equipment offers unparalleled ease of access to your camera and peace of mind.

The R-Strap is worn diagonally across the torso from shoulder to hip and is adjustable to fit most photographers. The pad has a mesh underside for comfort and breathability.

Black Rapid's locking FastenR connects the R-Strap to the tripod socket located on either the camera body or the lens. Once connected, the camera hangs upside down, resting securely at your side or in the small of your back, with the lens pointing behind you.

With the camera at your hip or behind your back, you can manoeuvre easily through a crowd, carry a tripod or other gear, or simply have both hands free. When you’re ready to take the shot, the camera quickly glides up the strap into shooting position.

    Comments about Black Rapid BRAD (Arm Defense):

    Okay, so the BlackRapid stuff isn't cheap, but the RS-7 is a great way to carry a camera. I use it on a Canon 7D, with a grip and L series lenses (i.e. Heavy).

    Don't worry, I'll get to the BRAD in a moment...

    The RS-7 makes it so easy to carry kit around. The only slight downside is the padded section of the strap can move when I take the camera up to my eye. This is most common if I am wearing a jacket that is a bit slippy; there is no friction to stop it moving.

    This got worse when I added a Joey pocket for my phone; this made the front of the harness heavier and this just made it more likely to move. Of course, the bumper clips on the harness make sure that it returns to the right place, but it is still a bit annoying.

    Now, the BRAD fixes all of that. I still get to use the excellent harness and the strap stays in-place.

    One additional advantage is that the BRAD gives a back-up if there is a clip failure on the harness. I know that this is such a remote possibility (how much force would you need to break the clip!) but it is an added benefit.

    It may be a bit on the costly side but the BlackRapid stuff is just so well thought-out.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
