Review on πŸŽ’ BlackRapid Backpack Camera Sling - Reliable Design for DSLR, SLR, and Mirrorless Cameras - Enhancing SEO by Pedro Hague

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get the BlackRapid Cross Shot instead!

My camera and lens are a bit heavy and I was looking for something better than my old hiking neck strap. I bought this and I liked it. The strap distributed the weight fairly well and my camera was very accessible. The setup works great with my long lens hood Canon 70-300L. This belt was a huge improvement over my old neck strap and vest I had previously tried. The main downside was that this strap is awkward to put on and take off the backpack and when I travel I have to take the backpack off from time to time. Another problem is that you can't use it as a separate belt. Because I liked this harness, I bought the BlackRapid Cross Shot. As it turns out, I prefer the Cross Shot under my backpack more than this particular backpack strap. It's safer for my camera if I can remove my backpack and leave the camera on. Without a camera, it's easier for me to take off my backpack. And the camera is more comfortable to carry if it doesn't pull on the straps of the backpack. This strap led me to a strap that I really love, BlackRapid Cross caught on and it was worth every penny for that. The clasp will loosen over time. , so get used to tightening it and using the seat belt every time you use it.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
