Review on BLACKRAPID Camera Left Handed Right Handed Photographers by Dexter Rasberry

. The buckle is a one-handed clip, meaning pranksters or thieves can easily undo the strap behind you. In my case, a thick zip tie and gaff or duct tape solves this problem, as most of us won't solve it very often, if at all. Other questionable details are 2 movable bumper locks. The previous version was easy to unlock and slide in either direction, making one-handed setup quick and smooth. In this version, if you have a smaller camera, the spring-loaded clips must be tensioned, meaning two hands are needed to install each lock. It's not a big deal, but slows things down in some situations. Also, the strap stays in place well and I like the new locking carabiner design - it feels like a tighter lock and the flange lock/screw is a nice touch. Otherwise, I love these straps and use them on both of my cameras.

Pros
  • Robust construction.
Cons
  • . Compatibility.
