Black Rapid 20636 Sport Breathe Camera Strap (Black)

The BlackRapid Sports Breathe camera strap is a premium quality strap for any pro dslr. The material and components on this strap is of very good quality. My camera feels safe and secured on me and the best part is that they have included a small tether safety strap along with the package. Thanks you "Appario Retail Private Ltd." and Amazon.

This product well made and durable. Very handy if you have bulky DSLR (like Nikon D750/850). Only small issue is storing it inside camera bag takes a bit of space compared to normal straps.

Little time to adjust WTh this strap. Once you tie this along your shoulder you just feel nothing on that mean to say being DSLR WTF 35 mm is OK if you carry 18-135mm canon or another tele weight so these smart straps hold all gear easily it's worth for street photography. Anything on move.

Excellent product. Must have if you want to carry the Camera for a longer duration and hikes etc.

Great for carrying a camera around all day..no strain on the neck, made a world of difference on my travels..

Good comfortable strap

I earlier had a Black Rapid Single Strap for Double-Camera.I could remove one of the camera straps, and use it for single-camera as well.I was quite satisfied, but I misplaced that recently.I needed a similar strap, as I handle multiple cameras simultaneously. So I got this one.Somehow, this looks more premium. Its built quality also seems a tad better.It also comes with a pouch and a Lockstar Breathe Carabiner Protector.

Took a while for me to justify the cost of one of these but after hearing so many positive reviews I took the plunge.And I have to say, they really are exceptional to use. So much more comfortable than the standard strap and I couldn’t believe how much quicker and easier they made the process of capturing shots which I'd certainly have missed with the conventional strap.However, the design of this particular model is something else. Firstly, the plastic clasp which clips over the screw bit which allows you remove the strap from the camera - after very little use this showed signed of wear with white stress points appearing in the plastic. Having got in touch with customer services they tell me this is a problem with not fully tightening the screw before closing. The trouble is that I change my lens throughout the day whilst out photographing wildlife and t’s a very finicky thing to deal with with cold wet hands to avoid missing slightly not tightening it to it’s fullest. They sent me two replacement bits of plastic but it’s not the point for what you’re paying for.My biggest problem with this though is the under arm strap - after a very few times using this I noticed that I was very lucky not to lose it. The problem comes down to a very silly design - it hooks on round by your back and clips on round at the front. So to take it off, you have to unclip the front which leaves it only hanging on by a hook which easily becomes unhooked. It was only by luck that when I picked the strap up I noticed the underarm bit wasn’t attached and I knew it was only a matter of time before losing it altogether.I spoke to customer services about this and they said they just recommended leaving it clipped together as much as possible and to squeeze the hook together to stop it unhooking as much (whilst not stopping it). It’s impractical though because as I’ve pointed out though - you have to unclip it to take it off, it’s silly because if it was just designed the other way round it wouldn’t be an issue - you would never need to unclip it!I noticed this problem just after the Amazon return window and the manufacturer didn’t want to refund me for the item. After a bit of delving I noticed that there were quite a few unhappy customers who’d fallen fowl to this design flaw and thankfully I read someone’s advice to put a cable tie around the hook which has fixed it. So I have a new camera strap which I paid over £70 for held together with a cable tie.So as much as I like this, it is at the end of the day, a very expensive camera strap and to have such design flaws isn’t what people should expect.

I was a little concerned prior to purchasing this strap to read that some reported design flaws regarding the ‘Brad’ strap becoming disconnected from the strap behind, so that when you unclip it from the front and release it, it might drop to the ground and become lost. A serious concern because the strap is quite expensive. Despite this I went ahead and purchased it and if I agreed with these reports I would return it. However I found the strap to be of good quality and comfortable to wear and I liked the design. My only reservation is the high price, especially that of the fasteners should you wish to leave them attached to more lenses or cameras. As you can see from my uploaded photo the brad strap seems to clip into its own attachment area and not onto the strap itself. This I believe makes it more secure and negates the risk of loss. The metal clip on the ‘Brad’ strap can clip onto the main strap if needed. I tried it and found the metal clip to have a tight fit and could not imagine it coming loose of its own accord. I hope this puts prospective purchasers minds to rest.

I had for some time been looking for a camera strap/harness to comfortably support the weight of my Canon 5DMkIV, particularly whilst mated to a large telephoto or zoom lens. Various online reviews steered me in the direction of the Black Rapid range of straps, and eventually I took the plunge and went for the 'Sport Breath' model. This strap has lots of useful features, but it's not without its drawbacks.The Good: First of all, it's a shoulder strap rather than a neck strap, so stating the obvious, the weight is borne on your shoulder rather than your neck, which is a distinct benefit when carrying a heavy combination of body & lens. The section of the strap which actually rests over the shoulder is both padded and ventilated, so once again a useful advantage. The camera attachment point is a locking carabiner, which whilst a little fiddly to operate is infinitely more desirable than a dropped camera. This carabiner is located between two sliding buckles on the main strap, which when adjusted will restrict how far along the strap the payload can travel. Spacing these buckles apart will allow you to move the camera along the strap as required, close together might be more convenient/comfortable whilst you are walking.Now the not so Good: Running beneath the users armpit is a short strap which attaches to both the rear and front of the shoulder pad, which is clearly designed to keep the shoulder pad in place, rather than allowing it to slide down over your chest due to the weight of the camera. A good idea, but poorly executed! For convenience this short strap needs to be detachable at one end, possibly both. At the front a 'Nifco' buckle is used, but on the back a simple flat metal hook is used as the means of attachment. It takes very little for this hook to become dislodged from the main strap and if you release the 'Nifco' buckle at the front when removing the complete harness, you can very easily lose the short strap without knowing it.Why weren't 'Nifco' buckles used at either end of the short strap, or better still why wasn't the rear end of the short strap stitched to the main harness? A fairly significant design flaw in what is an otherwise reasonable competent camera harness. Yes, with a little inventiveness the user can find an alternative means of securing the rear of this strap, but you shouldn't have to with a camera strap/harness costing circa £70.The bottom line is, I do actually like this strap/harness, but sadly I'm deducting two stars, one for an obvious design fault and another for being just too expensive.My quest for the perfect camera strap/harness continues...

I like the fit of the Rapide version, it's easily adjustable for my needs. Comfortable enough even when carrying 70-200 f2.8 lens. or 100-400 lens. For the big lenses I have found it is better to attach to the tripod mount for better balance.My only question would be: did I need to spend this amount to get a good strap?

An excellent camera strap got this to carry my d7200 fitted with tamron 150-600mm g2 and I'm pleased I did, can carry it for hours without any problems only gripe would be the under arm strap falls off very easily but I solved the problem with a zip tie otherwise I'd have given a 5 star rating.
