[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 475218, member: 25095"] I need a new/better strap for carrying my camera. I have an opportunity coming up this fall that will have me outside shooting events for about five hours a day, so upgrading the standard Nikon strap to something a little more comfortable would be appreciated after a day or so. I have been thinking about something like the Black Rapid design, but I have just enough knowledge to know there are similar designs that have differing features/functions, but can't remember all the different manufacturers off hand. I think I like the sling type design that distributes the weight across both shoulders. I don't mind the strap/sling connecting to the tripod hard point on the bottom of the camera body, but would prefer that attachment to have both a safety tether to protect against the accidental release from the mount. I would also like that mount doubling as an Arca Swiss bracket so that I don't have to swap back and forth when taking the camera on/off the tripod. For the extended event shooting, I'll likely have a grip on the camera too, so mounting off the tripod mount needs to be secure. Right now, I only need to carry a single camera body on the sling/strap, but would like a "system" that allows me to grow to a two-camera sling if/when the time comes without needing to repurchase all the mounts/adapters/etc. Is Black Rapid the right fit for me, or are there other suggestions on suppliers I need to be checking out?
