I found that the Black Rapid straps are geared more toward the slimmer, shorter photographers because the length of the strap causes the camera to ride higher on heaver/taller photographers. I returned mine.

Jun 12, 2012 13:30 | #24 how about comfort considering for a pro body + a heavy lens like 5DM3 + 24-70 ? Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 24-70 2.8L, Canon 70-200 4L IS, Canon 17-40 4L, flash Canon 430EX II

It is WAAAAAAAAY better than using a neck strap. Having the weight on the shoulder, you barely feel it compared to when its pulling on your neck all day. 5D3 / M3 / S100 / Σ 35 Art / 50 1.8 / 135 L / 17-40 L / 24-70 L / 70-200 f/4 IS L / m 22 2.0 / 580ex II

More info | Jun 12, 2012 16:41 | #27 Black Rapid straps are highly recommended, but a lot of times I see users with scratches on their bodies due to the metal linkage that holds the strap to the camera. Is this normal of this design or are the people I see using this strap just careless? ~Greg

The metal link may or may not scratch (only*) the bottom of the camera, as I don't quite see how it can scratch any where else (I use a 5dIII w/ Bgrip).
