Black Rapid Yeti vs Double

[singlerosa_RIP]

I've never been a fan of camera straps, usually hand-holding my camera with strap detached or having it mounted on a tripod. On the rare occasion when I've lugged around 2 bodies, I've used my Tamrac straps. I have some events coming up where I need a better solution, like one of Black Rapid's dual camera rigs. My need will be to lug around gripped bodies with a 24-70 and 70-200. Does anyone have experience with the Black Rapid Yeti and Double to shed some light on pluses and minuses? Thanks.

I am curious as well. I have a cheap two camera strap and I would like something better. The Yeti is "only" $100 and the Double is "only" $135 on Amazon. I might have to give the Yeti a try, maybe...

I use a Yeti. The last time i had two strapped on, i had on the small strap a D700 with grip and a 24-120 f/4 attached, so not lightweight, and i put anything on the other larger strap, i do a D4 with a Sigma 500mm sometimes

I have and use the double. I chose that one because the weight was distributed over both sholders instead if just one. Carrying a 24-70 & 70-200 would put alot of strain on just one shoulder. The neck would eventially start feeling the weight and that tends to ruin your whole day. Whichever model you go with be sure to get the tether kit with it.
