When a seasoned pro like Lee Hoy — wildlife, macro, landscape, and night-sky photographer — calls something “the best solo camera strap,” we pay attention.
In his latest video, Lee shares exactly why the BLACKRAPID Sport-X Multi-Terrain has become his go-to sling for carrying a single camera and lens combination in the field.

Why Lee Hoy Loves the Sport-X Multi-Terrain
Lee highlights several standout features that make this sling ideal for photographers who spend long days in the field:
- All-day comfort without neck strain — The ergonomic shoulder pad and cross-body design keep the weight off your neck and distribute it comfortably across your shoulder and back.
- Lightning-fast access — The patented BLACKRAPID sling system lets your camera hang securely at your hip and slide up smoothly into shooting position in seconds.
- Smart security features — Spring-loaded Cam-Locks, LockStar, and an underarm stabilizer keep everything in place during hikes, while the included Camera Safety Tether adds extra peace of mind.
- Camo that actually works — The Multi-Terrain camo pattern helps the strap (and camera) blend into natural environments — perfect for wildlife photography.
- Quick-attach flexibility — Lee prefers pairing it with an Arca-Swiss quick-release clamp for even faster camera changes.
