His had an extra strap that went under his armpit. I figured out today that the little extra strap was called a BRAD. Anyone else use this and like it? 5D2, 600 EX-RT, STE-3, 24-70L, 70-200L f/2.8 IS II, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8

Looking at photos it seems like the BRAD can be positioned really tight under the arm to anywhere below using the RS-Sport. Whereas on the RS-7 your limited to where the RS-7 strap begins after the shoulder pad. Am I right or wrong? 5D2, 600 EX-RT, STE-3, 24-70L, 70-200L f/2.8 IS II, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8

Jan 07, 2013 08:29 | #8 TheAnt wrote in post #15455938  No, the Brad is pre-attached to the RS-Sport. Understood, but does it attach differently than it would as an add-on to the RS-7? From the photos it looks like it attaches in the same manner. Can you completely detach it from the RS-Sport (including the clips)? 5D2, 600 EX-RT, STE-3, 24-70L, 70-200L f/2.8 IS II, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8

Can't decide if I should buy the BRAD for my RS-7 or just get the RS-Sport and sell the RS-7 instead. Not a good way to start the week. 5D2, 600 EX-RT, STE-3, 24-70L, 70-200L f/2.8 IS II, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8

Not a good way to start the week. If the rs-7 is good enough for you, just buy the brad strap. You may also end up paying more since what you paid for the rs-7, you wont make back. So you'll have to pay the difference. Canon :: R5 | R6 | RP

Jan 07, 2013 20:13 | #14 I found the BRAD to be cumbersome and not very effective at securing the RS-5 without significant detriment to the functionality of the strap itself. Ended up selling the BRAD and the RS-5 and replaced it with a Crumpler Industry Disgrace. Canon 5D III | EF 24-105mm f/4L IS | EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II | EF 40mm f/2.8
