As one of the UK's leading magazines on photography, we like to think that
WhatDigitalCamera has to say is insightful, invaluable and, while this review of
a recently-introduced camera strap is brief by review standards, we hope it'll prove itself useful for people trying to source a camera strap.
"The BlackRapid RS-5 is a camera strap that
looks to give the user more from their
shoulder support. With plenty of pockets and
pouches to distribute phones and memory cards,
the RS-5 looks to minimise the amount of rustling
through a camera bag.
The camera is attached via a tripod mount screw,
which may sound like a recipe for disaster on the
surface. In reality the camera remains perfectly still
after being screwed in, without a hint of insecurity
with the connection. The pockets are sealed with
magnets for the most part, allowing quick and
silent access to memory cards and batteries.
Although you can’t store anything much larger in
the pockets there’s plenty of space for the average
extras for a day’s shooting.
There’s a hefty amount of padding on the strap
as well, meaning a day’s trek isn’t too much of a
chore. The price is a touch high, which is the only
real negative, as £69 is outside of most people’s
budget for a camera strap."
