Black Rapid R-Strap

[geoffd70]

Ordered mine on the 3rd April after seeing this thread http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124155&highlight=r-strap - Arrived today had to pay £13.15 (£5.15 VAT & £8.00 Royal Mail Int Handling Fee) B****y Rip Off!

Will give it a try out shortly but seems very comfortable.

Used one for a while now, they work well.

I am a fan of the arse trap as well!

I got clobbered for the same amount by the Post Office, them's the breaks I guess :shake:
I like the strap a lot, the clip squeaks slightly against the bracket which can be annoying but I can live with it, it's also pretty impossible to shorten whilst on unless you're double jointed

Do you all use the little bit of plastic tubing supplied - the so called "plastic gate stop" Not very hi-tech is it. But if it works! ---- I can see this not only being lost quickly, but a bit fiddly every time you want to remove it.

I find it very hard to put on when the camera is hanging from the strap as it needs two hands and another one to support the camera, as it is I feel the clip is very secure without it, it's a tight squeeze to get the clip open far enough to get it on to the bracket.

There is an EU supplier in Germany that supplies them so as they are already in the EU you won't pay additional fees.

There is a link to them from the BlackRapid site IIRC
