I'm a camera gear junky...

For those who read my last blog, I mentioned the Spider Holster hip unit. But for those who don't want a belt clip approach, I highly recommend Blackrapid straps. They offer a variety of camera straps for single camera to a cool looking double camera unit. I personally like the RS DR-1 double strap unit because it makes you look like you're packing some serious shooting power. One thing cool about the RS DR-1, is that if you only want to use one camera, you can take off the other side and keep one strap as a sling which works just as good. What's cool about these straps is that the camera flows with the strap and not dragging it for compete comfort and usability.

If you only have one camera, I'd recommend the RS-5 because of its cool magnetic utility strap. You can hold your iphone, memory cards, business cards, and batteries. The RS-4 is a lighter version of the RS-5 and to some people that might do the trick, but did notice it did not come with the attachments. The new RS-7 is a shoulder forming strap that works to the ergonomics of your shoulder for comfort. There are MODS which are additional attachments that can be strapped on selected models. All MODS fit on the RS-7 and RS-5 models.



So, if you're looking for a more versatile way to carry your camera around, go with Blackrapid straps. Great product!
