You Guys are Killing Me
My partner here at the studio (my wife) has absconded permanently with my R-Strap. What caused this you ask? That little gem I received on Thursday that links two straps into a harness. Well to test you need two straps right? The math doesn’t work in my favor my one plus her one = none for me and a set for her. Way to go guys. I’m about to break my buddy Al’s heart and put a link to your strap right by his, and to think he and I have collaborated on enhancements and modifications that I use every day ~ he’s gonna take me out of his will.You guys hit this last little tool right on the money, great job. When the economy picks back up I’ll send in an order for the double strap (will make me one up on the cool factor) and stop hanging my cameras from Al’s quick releases attached to a Think Tank harness. By the way Al is Al Stegmeyer from UpStrap, a hell of an engineer but he just got beat out by someone better. People comment on our straps wherever we go hope it does your sales some good.

Nothing too girly….just a little style:)
I just purchased my strap a couple of months ago, and I mostly love it. It’s far more comfortable than a traditional neck strap, but I was sad to pass up all of the really cute “designer” neck straps. Flash forward to last week, when I had an idea of how to make my BlackRapid strap a little cuter. I bought some 7/8″ ribbon that matched my camera bag, and sewed it onto the black nylon strap. It came out great and didn’t affect function one bit:) So then I was thinking, my son plays electric guitar, and he has all sorts of cool straps where the design is actually woven into, or printed onto the nylon strapping. Easy! So anyhow, I just thought you might get more women to take the leap in trying a BlackRapid if they had a feminine option. Nothing too girly….just a little style:) I’ve included a photo of my newly stylized strap, let me know what you think:)

I can honestly say
Hey Ron,Just a quick note to say how much I loved using the strap. I can honestly say that there are two things that have changed the way I use a camera – digital imaging and the RB strap (maybe a slight exaggeration but sincere). I took some shots from the field and I’ll pass them along when I get a chance but I really appreciate you getting it into my hands so quickly.
Cheers,
Josh
