Long-Time User Upgrades to BLACKRAPID BlackLine I After 16 Years with the RS-4 – Still Impressed!

ThruMyLens.org – BLACKRAPID BlackLine I Review

Photographer and long-time BLACKRAPID user shares their experience upgrading from the classic RS-4 (which they’ve used since 2010) to the newer BlackLine I. After 16 years, their original RS-4 still looks brand new, proving the exceptional durability of BlackRapid straps.

The reviewer highlights the BlackLine I’s improved shoulder pad design with a stabilizing underarm strap that keeps everything securely in place during movement—solving the occasional sliding issue of the older model. While it takes a moment longer to put on than the RS-4, the added comfort and security make it well worth it, especially for active shooters.

Verdict from the reviewer: If you move around a lot while shooting, the BlackLine I is a thoughtful evolution worth the upgrade. BLACKRAPID continues to deliver reliable, high-quality gear that stands the test of time.
