Strapped and Ready - Black Rapid RS DR-1 Double Strap.

It seriously doesn't even feel like I have one camera wrapped around my neck. I've been using their single strap for a couple years now and finally invested in getting the double. I don't know why I didn't sooner since I shoot with two cameras for every gig.

It just feels so natural and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Yeah, I have one of those. Been using only half of it though, as I don't actually have two cameras at the moment. :lol:

Do you have trouble with both cameras swinging a lot?
I have a BR single and love it, but I shot weddings and have two cameras all the time and wondering if this would be a good solution.

Used it for the first time last night at a fashion event (do weddings mostly though) and it was perfect. My shoulders don't hurt, I wasn't fumbling straps. Most comfortable I've ever felt switching between cameras.

Such a breeze and the motions feels so natural.

swing is only an issue if you're moving...keep a hand on the bodies when you move, and there won't be any swings

Does anyone here use these that are a little bigger? I'm 6'4", with huge shoulders and I don't know how well they'd fit a huge guy like me. Hell, my suit jacket size is like 64 double tall... lol

Any other big guys use the double R strap?


Some cameras, some lenses, plenty of gaffer's tape and beer.

Thanks. That looks pretty much what I have been looking for.

I'm 6' 5", so I qualify :D

I find myself using it with the straps almost extended to maximum length. But that's just the way I like it, it works fine when not extended aswell :)

And the swinging isn't a problem, as I tend to rest my hands/arms on the cameras anyways. I think it's rather odd walking around with my hands away from my body :lol:

I recently bought the slim version - the DR-2. Yesterday I took it for a wander with a 5D2 and 135L on one side and a 7D and 100-400 on the other. I had a rucksack on my back with my 24-70, filters, flash and tripod and really did not notice the weight at all. Wearing a rucksack does not interfere with use of the DR-2, which I have been wearing under my coat so far.

It even works well in combination with the Cotton Carrier....

Anyone have any experience carrying these with the ThinkTank Belt/harness systems? I use that system to do most events. I would like to add the BR dual strap to my setup, but I am not sure how it would work our wearing 2 harness systems.
