We’re excited to share that BLACKRAPID has been prominently featured in Shuttermuse’s latest in-depth review, Best Camera Strap in 2026 – 22 Straps Reviewed and Compared. Professional photographer Dan Carr tested a wide range of straps in real-world conditions and highlighted several of our camera sling models as standout performers for comfort, packability, security, and all-day usability.
Here’s what stood out in the article:
- Classic Retro RS-4: “Incredibly wide strap (2.9″) so it carries a heavy load comfortably… the lightest and most packable of the ones that I tested. You can actually roll the whole thing up and squash it into a small pocket with ease… I actually found myself reaching for this one more than the others during my month of testing their lineup.”
- Sport: Praised for its curved, padded design and underarm stabilizer that keeps the strap securely in place with superior comfort.
- Double Harness: Noted as excellent for dual-camera setups (e.g., 24-70mm + 70-200mm), spreading weight effectively for long event or helicopter shoots.
Shuttermuse recognizes that BLACKRAPID pioneered the modern sling-strap design, with our signature FastenR carabiner system delivering reliable, secure attachment right into the tripod socket. The review emphasizes how our slings keep the camera hanging lens-down for quick access and reduced fatigue—exactly what we’ve been perfecting since 2008.
While the guide also covers shoulder straps, wrist straps, hand straps, and other brands, we’re proud that our sling lineup earned such strong, practical praise for photographers who need fast, comfortable gear that performs under real shooting pressure.
