Black Rapid, Inc. was started by a professional photographer who knew there had to be a solution to the usual painful and cumbersome tangle of cameras and straps that would accompany him on a typical assignment.

The R-Strap utilizes hardware that is engineered to facilitate shooting speed by enabling the camera to glide smoothly up the strap from its upside-down resting position. Stress on the connection between the body and the lens is reduced since the strap attaches to the lens rather than to the camera body. With the camera at your hip or behind your back, you can maneuver easily through a crowd, carry a tripod or other gear, or simply have both hands free. When you’re ready to take the shot, the camera quickly glides up the strap into shooting position. Grab. Glide. Click.
