U.S. Army photojournalist -Using the Rstrap

Hello,
I am Seattle native and U.S. Army photojournalist currently serving in Basra, Iraq. I’ve been using the RS-4 for 6 months now in Iraq and I cant remember how I ever got around with a camera before it! Wearing body armour and all the other stuff we have to carry when we are outside the wire makes carrying a camera around extremely difficult, your strap is a god-send. It keeps my camera out of the way when I’m not using it so that i can still easily raise my weapon, climb in and out of vehicles and helicopters, i can even run without getting a bloody nose from my camera hitting me in the face. I was so excited when i found out about the double-strap (which i purchased today!)

Attached are several photos of your strap in action in Iraq. I know they arent great photos, if you are interested in better photos for marketing or whatever let me know, we could take some better ones with that in mind. I could take some with the double-strap when it gets here.
