Black Rapid Double Strap - For Two Cameras CustomerReview
If you're a two camera slinger like I am, this double strap is perfect.
I have tried several ways of carrying two cameras outdoors and on location and either nearly strangled myself by criss-crossing single straps across my chest (which inevitably tangled around my neck) or worried that the one camera would slip off my shoulder while I shot with the other.
This strap really does the job right. When you're on the move it leaves both your hands free to move equipment, hug your model, or grab a martini, knowing all the while that your cameras are safely at your sides and read to be used in an instant.
At the end of one four hour out door shoot using two independent 'normal' camera straps, my neck was sore and my shoulders cramped from keeping them hunched in order to prevent the cameras from slipping off.
In contrast, I recently wore this double strap on an outdoor model/photographer event that lasted two days and took place on a beach one day and in some grassy country fields the next.
After two days of walking and shooting for @ 6 hours each, I felt no fatigue, wasn't irritated by the straps at all, and felt well balanced the whole time. In addition to the double strap, I also wore a Hoodman around my neck and a Lowpro Slingshot 200 on my back, and never got tangled up or strangled once.
This is definitely the most comfortable strap I have ever worn.
One note of caution:
If you plan on shooting from low angles, make sure that the camera you're not using isn't dragging on the floor, or worse, through the sand at the beach!
This wasn't a problem after I raised the straps a little bit and there was still plenty of slack to grab each camera quickly and pull it to my eye.
Because the straps have hooks on them, and this goes for the Black Rapid single straps too, you can use some tripod release plates instead of the included Fasten-R2s, if switching between your strap and your tripod quickly is a concern.
I used mine with Manfrotto 200PL-14s; these plates have a metal loop on the bottom for screwing them into the camera body and those loops are big and strong enough for hanging on the Black Rapid straps.
