The Black Rapid RS-7 is specially designed to work with Black Rapid’s MODS system. It features attachment points so you can customise your strap with your choice of storage and other features. It’s constructed of ballistic nylon for extreme durability. With the RS-7, ergonomics are key. It’s designed and shaped to fit perfectly around your shoulder. The weight of your camera is evenly distributed for the ultimate in comfort. The FastenR-3 (FR-2) is the point of contact between your camera and your R-Strap. It’s machined from a solid stock of 304 stainless steel, and has an integral D-Ring for coupling to the R-Strap’s ConnectR. The FR-2 uses a high-grade rubber compression washer to ensure a snug, positive connection with your camera. Switching to the FR-2 offers you more comfort when shooting in portrait, and a sense of security knowing your camera is fastened tight to your R-Strap.  More

Black Rapid RS-7 Camera Strap with FastenR-3 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 RS-7 Camera Strap with FastenR-2:

    As many others have testified, these straps are a great innovation and should in my opinion be adopted as a standard design! the big scare for most people considering these is the single attachment point on the tripod socket, but any initial qualms about holding the camera or lens securely have been nullified by over a year of use with no issues. It features a very secure locking hook, and the rubber wahser prevents the FastenR coming loose. the camera then sits comfortably by your side, out of the way, until you grab it to take the shot.

    I have found that the best fit for me is to adjust the length so it sits just on the hip, which enables me to keep my right hand resting on the camera grip to prevent any swinging when walking about, but for the more active occasion (hiking, cycling etc the optional BRAD strap really makes a difference in stopping the whole strap swinging forward on your shoulder and rotating, so is well worth adding on.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Black Rapid RS-7 Camera Strap with FastenR-2:

      This is by far the best camera strap I have ever used. It makes carrying a camera with a big heavy 500mm lens easy! I can carry this kit all day long without any problems or tiredness! It's ideal for sporting events where you spend all day on your feet and need quick access to your camera. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!!

                Great strap.
                I used to have a sunsniper, but needed a stronger strap for my new heavier gear, namely a canon 5dmk2 and a 70-200canon mk2 lens.
                If you havent used this type of strap and only used a standard manafacturers strap, your in for a world of comfort.
                This strap is better than my older sunsniper because its alot less bulky. the stud connector is strong and i never feel it will break. Make sure you get the right strap for your weight of equipment.
                Ive had this for 6 months and its always used if im not using a tripod. Should be standard equipment.

                Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
