BlackRapid Reviews 856

Have used it for one wedding and love it! It is a lot of weight on one shoulder with two cameras, but I still like it so much better than what I had before and absolutely perfect for one camera.

The products (Curve Breathe & Wrist Strap Breathe) are terrific, ordering was painless, and the order was fulfilled quickly and accurately.

I appreciated all of the information and reviews on the website and the product I ordered came very quickly! I am thrilled to give it as a gift.

Just as advertised. Works great really pleased. Receive in mail days before expected. Looking forward to years of use.

Product arrived quickly, packed well. BlackRapid has improved their swivel that screws into the camera, making it from something stronger than the pot metal they used earlier. My first unit actually wore through the metal clip in two places and dropped the camera - fortunately only about 1'. I vowed to monitor more carefully, but was pleased to find the unit had been improved.

Second strap I've bought and couldn't be happier. High quality product and really fast shipping in the US.

great site great product everything as advertised. Will buy again.

I have several brands of straps and have found the Black Rapid to be the most comfortable and provide the security that is an essential requirement. The Port Breathe was recently used on an all day outing and was found to be comfortable for the entire day. The pad makes all the difference-stays in place with no creeping or slipping. Highly recommend to all.

I love black rapid's products. They just look (and fit/feel) much better than any other camera strap I've used. They are significantly more professional looking, and extremely tough. The only thing I dislike about my newest strap, the black rapid sport, is that naturally due to where the camera is positioned it is susceptible to wearing the side of your camera body over time. If you use a telephoto or telephoto zoom with a lens tripod mount as the connection point it helps that issue a lot. The product fits closely to your body, which I also really like. It makes the camera feel more connected to you.

My biggest gripe is somehow my side strap for my sport (the removable extra one) went missing and the replacement from BR came in looking like it had been heavily used for 5 years. The metal buckle had all sorts of nicks and marks- just a missed QC item.

They should use alternative delivery to US postal service. The post office always says they delivered it to us and arrives 5 days later. Web site could use work. Otherwise excellent.

Great product. Fast service and shipping.

Great product but very expensive to send to the UK cost almost twice what the product was advertised for.

Lost my Tripod Plate 50 and found out just how much I liked it so I quickly ordered another one, I'll take better care of this one.
Great accessory !!

Everyone I had contact with at Black Rapid was most accommodating and pleasant to work with while I was involved with the trade in program.

quality produce, delivered quickly

Should have been notified or older replacement part should have been available.

I'm very happy with my purchase keep up the good work

I have been shooting semi-professionally for the past few months and it did not take long to realize the factory strap was very insufficient and would tend to have me not wearing it. I had heard good things about blackrapid but had a hard time wanting to spend the money on a strap. I got to shoot with it the first time walking the streets of Chicago and could not be more thrilled. I will be recommending this strap to everyone. The build quality of the strap is better than I could have imagined. I am hooked on blackrapid

Not in love with you carabiner attachment system as I use RRS L Bracket and go back and forth to my tripod clamp frequently. Substituted a Mag Pull QD swivel for your hardware. The Mag Pull QD stud inserts into L-Bracket securelyand is easily removed leaving the Arca dovetails unobstructed when mounted in tripod clamp.

Granted- this is an unfair criticism given that your strap is probably not designed with easy tripod use in mind and it would likely not make economic sense to use a $15 Mag Pull QD that would only only be compatible with a few plates and clamps (those with the appropriate sockets installed).

I am very pleased with this unit as adapted. Your harness is lighter, better designed and "handier" than the MagPull MS24 that I was also considering but found too robust (it is, after all, designed for weapons systems.
