    I use a Sun Sniper Pro. Used with two cameras. All day, all weekend, no stress or shoulder aches.



    Best regards

    But did you get it with the pretty floral embossing on the strap? XD

    Just purchased this quick strap off Ebay for $14.89. It`s a cheap Knock off of a Black Rapid that costs at least $70.00
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/QUICK-Nec...item1e62fb74b4
    The supplied plate can be attached to the tripod mount on the camera or lens mount. ( Just bought a Sigma 150-500 and the thought of having 2 kilos of lens hanging off the camera hanging on the normal camera strap was a bit worrying.)

    I would never use a knock-off camera strap, pretty drastic results if it comes apart really

    I have a neoprene lowepro quick release strap for main camera and a r-strap for my second camera.

    I've been using the out-of-the-box strap, but I really don't like the way it attaches to the camera (Canon camera... I think it is great the the strap mount thingys on Nikons can swivel!). The strap holds the camera upright, so with a long lens attached that means the lens is sticking straight out from my body and bumping into things. I'm considering a black rapid or equivalent...

    That`s an interesting response Kiwi considering the number of complaints (like this one on the Pentax forum ) http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/p...ap-rs-4-a.html
    about the number of Blackrapid straps failing and dumping cameras on the pavement.

    Used properly they are safe in my opinion, I'm sure there are failures. Ive seen regular straps break too though. it's the propensity to fail which is the issue compared to how many people use them. I and many other sport photographers I know use r-straps to carry heavy gear and never had an issue

    Well I will be using the Quickstrap (properly I hope) to carry some fairly heavy gear (k20d and Bigma) If it fails I will be sure to let you know.
