Review on BLACKRAPID Double Breathe Slim Camera Harness: Innovative and Trusted Strap Design by Charles Salgado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product if you are slim but not short and need dual suspension; Doesn't work for me.

If you have a slim build and need a dual camera mount, the BlackRapid Breathe Double Slim Camera Strap is probably the best and most comfortable on the market. The components are not cheap plastic; Carabiners have a safety latch that prevents accidental release; and the harness does not have a solid back that will get too hot for you if you wear it for a long time. Unfortunately, this beautiful crockery did not fulfill my purpose. I'm slim and small (5'1") and have partial paralysis in my left arm. I wanted to use the straps to hang the camera centrally while putting equal pressure on the nerves in both shoulders. I got the BlackRapid Tried sling and found that after only 5 minutes the pressure on my nerve was extremely uncomfortable.If I could use it I would buy this model as it would be very comfortable for most and would feel good.) By removing the screw part out of the carabiner and by threading this piece through the rings on my camera I was able to hang the camera in the middle of my body.However, as I'm short and wanted my camera at waist level, I had to shorten the straps Only lift camera to chest level, not eye level as desired. When I lengthened the straps to raise the camera to the correct height, the camera hung just below my crotch - not comfortable for Hike. After several hours of trying to fix the problem, I decided there was no workaround and had to return the belt. If you don't have any unusual neurological issues with your arms and want to use a quality dual camera strap, I recommend this product or the regular version - if you're not that skinny. Additionally, BlackRapid's customer service is exceptional. My question - a pre-purchase - was answered almost immediately.
