BLACKRAPID at WPPI 2026

Thanks to everyone who attended WPPI this last week in Vegas and came and said hi at our booth.

It was a pleasure meeting so many of you, especially those who have been loyal BLACKRAPID users for years, as well as those who tried us for the first time. Your support means a lot to us!

Testimonials

We filmed a few photographers that came by, and made this fun collage of honest reactions from pros and enthusiasts across the country — from wedding & portrait shooters to adventure photographers — sharing why they’ve trusted BLACKRAPID for years (some for 10–16+ years!).

Hear how our patented sling design, comfort, quick access, dual-camera options, and no-neck-strain carry changed their game — whether hiking half pipes, shooting polar bears in the Arctic, trekking in Africa, or working long event days.

Podcasts

Hear crazy stories and get inspired by other photographers by watching/listening to the BLACKRAPID Podcast.

The last episode features Australian travel portrait photographer Glynn Lavender. He shares his wild adventures leading photo tours in India, Bangladesh, and beyond. From dodging elephants and driving through fire on detours, to getting a gun held to his head in a Delhi mosque (and still getting the shot), Glynn’s stories are equal parts thrilling and hilarious.

Instructions

We met some people who’ve carried their BLACKRAPID straps for years, and didn’t have the strap adjusted right. All this time, it could have been more comfortable. So check out our videos and make sure you’ve got your strap set up just right.
