Used this slide for the first time today. It was amazing - the few times I needed to hands free I didn’t feel like my camera was in jeopardy. Highly recommend this slide!

If you've had a DLSR with a large lens attached to your neck with the OEM strap, then you know that walking with a heavy camera bouncing on your chest or stomach isn't that much fun. We tend to do a lot of hiking, and my wife bought the two-camera version of this BlackRapin Sport Breathe Original camera sling. She likes to rock two DSLRs, plus a sports action camera, and sometimes, binoculars. I'm on the less is more side, and usually just take one DSLR. This strap has a tripod mounting connector that clips into the included locking carabiner. The system is very secure, even with a heavy DSLR, and a medium-sized lens (200mm, or 400mm). When I walk with this system, I use my right hand to stabilize the camera, but it's much more comfortable and stable than using a standard strap. At $77.95, this strap is pricey, but I'll never go back to the old style camera strap after using this one. Wedding and portrait photographers will love the two-camera version!

Seriously! I’ve been shooting for about 15 years now, and have never really found a great strap until this. Granted, you probably won’t use this for those times you’re just taking snapshots around your home, but if you are working or out on a photo walk/photo session, this strap truly shines. Great design, and I would buy again.

Im not a huge fan of camera straps in general but this one is pretty nice. It’s easy to use and does the job very well. It supported my 300mm 2.8 all day with no issues. One of the most comfortable straps I’ve used.

I have a Canon 28-70 f2 lens and it's my everyday lens — so I've got a big, bulky, heavy lens to lug around — and I was previously using the Peak Design Slide strap. This is SO much better. I've taken it out twice so far, and I'm no longer getting imprints on my shoulder at the end of the day or feeling the amount of pain I was before. (Don't get me wrong, I've still got a heavy camera and it doesn't erase that, but it makes it a LOT more bearable.) Not only that, but the camera generally stays where I want it, rather than the Peak Design, which was always moving around and being very annoying. I also am glad the design/color of it itself is fairly subdued, rather than looking too busy and technical. It works really well under my small backpack, so I'm thrilled about that, and I really like that I can just pull the camera up and down along the strap rather than have the whole operation constantly moving around my neck. My only complaint with this strap is the same complaint I have about the Peak Design one: They don't really design these with shorter people in mind! (I'm 5'2.) In order to adjust it how I want it, I have to have straps hanging out, doubled up, etc., because the design of the whole thing prevents you from adjusting it right to the perfect spot. Why must you forget us shorter people!! We exist!!!!

Edit (4 years later): I've reduced the rating on this product from an original 4/5 stars to 3/5 stars and it all comes down to the underarm strap (the "Brad strap") which I complained about in my original review below. I have some additional complaints about the underarm system which I will now go into: 1. I originally said that the underarm strap is not strictly necessary for using this camera sling. That's still true, however, without the underarm strap, the sling is MUCH less useful, unstable, and awkward. Without the strap this is a 3-star (out of 5) product. Good quality but annoying just as often as it is useful. The problem is that the underarm strap fails so often, that the sling often becomes that 3-star, unstabilized product. 2. The little pocket on the back of the sling that the metalic "S" on the Brad strap slides into has become looser and saggier with time. This means that it is easier than ever for the Brad strap to come unhooked from the sling. 3. One thing I did not originally notice is that the strap material of the Brad strap is not the same material as the material of the main strap on the sling. The main sling strap uses a rougher, thicker nylon weave that you typically find on backpacks and hiking gear. The weave on the Brad strap seems to use a finer thread and much tighter weave, resulting in a very "silky" strap. Perhaps they did this because they though people's underarms would be more sensitive (but aren't you wearing this over other clothing?). Whatever the case, it's another fatal flaw in the underarm strap disaster. I've noticed that, no matter how i cinch down the underarm strap to conform to my body shape, it is always much longer and looser when it falls off. This is because the silkiness of the strap allows it to slowly loosen over time from the plastic side-release buckle. Combine the continually loosening pocket with the continually loosening strap and you have an underarm strap that is CONSTANTLY FALLING OFF. If you search through these reviews, you'll find at least one other person complaining of the same thing. I also want to reiterate that putting the sling on with the underarm strap is also way more tedious than it should be because the "S"-hook and attachment pocket are at the back. They should have either reversed the plastic buckle and "S"-hook placement, or used plastic buckles on both sides, or just permanently attached the strap at the back and out a plastic buckle in front. ------ Original review from 2017 follows: ------ So, this is a well-built quality product. It is comfortable and effective and makes your camera much easier to use. But I have four complaints: 1. The BlackRapid is overpriced. It's a good quality piece of gear. All the straps and material and connectors seem to be of good quality, but there's not a lot of "material" here in the first place. It's probably the best or second best strap on the market right now, but I still think this should be $50 - $60 and not $85. 2. I don't trust the single-screw system. It seems like it would be very easy to detach over time, and drop your camera to the ground. There is a heavy-duty rubber washer that seems to be designed to prevent the screw from turning, but I still wouldn't trust this fully with an expensive camera. You really need to add on the BlackRapid Tether, but that brings up another corollary complaint which is that the Tether should have been included at this price point, firstly because the BlackRapid Strap is overpriced for what it is, secondly because the Strap is incomplete (potentially dangerous to your expensive camera equipment) without the Tether, and lastly because the Tether itself is not really a lot of product either. (See my review on the Tether itself, which is another overpriced piece of gear). 3. I don't understand why on earth they put the MAIN connector for the Strap on the BACK of the shoulder piece. To understand what I'm talking about: imagine the overall strap is a loop which encircles your body diagonally. There is a quick release plastic connector which will allow the loop to "break" open for easy removal (one assumes). This connecting piece is built in to the shoulder pad area. However, I must be missing some key ergonomic factor because I don't understand why they chose to put this on the BACK of the shoulder pad instead of the front. I feel this is a poor, and potentially dangerous safety decision both from the point of view of personal safety and your camera's safety. In terms of personal safety: imagine your strap somehow gets entangled in something and you need to remove yourself from the situation. It is extremely awkward, and perhaps impossible, to reach over your opposite shoulder and unbuckle the strap. If you can comfortably touch the point of your shoulder blade, then you could unbuckle this strap easily. If you can't, then good luck extricating yourself easily from this strap in an emergency. Conversely, it would be so easy, and so convenient if you simply had to reach up to your upper chest area to unbuckle the entire strap. (Note for clarity that it is not often you will need to use that buckle. Normally you can just pull the strap over your head without unbuckling it, but I'm presenting a "what if" scenario.) In terms of camera safety: anyone can just sneakily walk up behind you, and quickly unbuckle the strap from behind, before you realize what's going on, while simultaneously grabbing your camera away from you. Ridiculous. Another detail that leaves me flummoxed with regards to the placement of the strap buckle, is the fact that the underarm strap DOES in fact buckle in to the FRONT of the shoulder pad. Why have one strap buckle in front (the sensible place) and the other, more important, strap buckle in back (the unreachable place), instead of having both straps buckle in front in one, conveniently reachable area? 4. Speaking of the underarm strap and "buckles", the "system" they chose for the "Brad Stabilizing Strap" is just plain stupid. Now, the underarm strap is not strictly *necessary* when using your Breathe Strap, but it does make things more *stable*, as the name implies, and you aren't seeing the full benefit of the item unless you're using it. Now it attaches in front with aforementioned standard side-release plastic buckle that we're all used to. But it attaches in BACK with a simple S-hook that slides into a tiny pocket on the back of the strap. Again, this kind of design decision is behind the comprehension of mere mortals. So, to put the strap on, the underarm strap MUST be disconnected (you'll understand why when you try to put it on). But you can't put it on with the back disconnected, because then it is almost impossible to reach behind you and insert the little S-hook into the strap because, again, that's like trying to touch the point of your shoulder blade. That means you need to put the strap on with the S-hook already in place, and the FRONT buckle disconnected, and then after you've got the strap on, you can reach for the dangling Brad strap and wrap it around your front and buckle it into place. Taking the strap off? Do the same process in reverse. Unbuckle the Brad strap from the front of your Breathe Sport strap, leave the Brad strap hanging behind you, then gingerly remove the entire strap assembly. The problem? The fact that you must GINGERLY put on and remove the entire strap assembly for fear that the Brad strap will fall off. That's because when putting it on and take it off, it is hanging only by that S-hook in a tiny hole, and it is not that difficult for it to simply fall off, especially when you are swinging it over your head. Result? It falls off frequently. Hope it doesn't fall into a hole, or from some height, or into dirt or mud or water. I knew that, eventually, I would lose it or break it, and, surprise, I did. I was in a dimly lit cave once, and went to hand the camera to a friend so he could take a picture. Removed the entire strap from my person, and didn't notice that the Brad strap had fallen off. When he returned the camera to me, then I noticed it had fallen off. Luckily I was able to find the strap on the floor of the cave despite the poor lighting. Unluckily, it had been stepped on, and the plastic buckle was now broken and useless. I had to buy a new strap. Guess what? Like everything else BlackRapid it is incredibly overpriced for just a small bit of fabric and plastic. Perhaps that is their plan - get people to buy the Brad strap over and over again.

This strap is great for on the go photography. I really like how it carries your camera on your hip instead of in front of you. Its very comfortable and I feel the camera is better protected this way. The sling set up makes it easy and fast to bring your camera up into a shooting position.
