    Looks like a well made strap...a couple of things come to mind though...strap will still be in your face when shooting verticles...and each step you take you will be bumping your leg into the camera, seems like that would be uncomfortable and irritating. I prefer the Black Rapid at your side method...I think.

    a demo video................. a demo video....... http://tinyurl.com/2c5me5c

    I have not actually found a strap that does not get in the way at some point shooting verticals....even our wonderful SM straps do and so does the Crooked Horn Bino Harness I use most of the time.........

    I can't say I've heard anything bad about the BlackRapid straps. Pretty interested in one myself.

    Thanks for the link, Art.

    As I thought, the strap does get it in the way while shooting verticles...something that my BR strap does not do.

    Too bad, because otherwise the double strap is really nice. BTW i have 3 OPtech straps I've been using for years and really have high regard for...I just needed to get the strap of the neck. I suppose that, using the pro loop connectors one could come up with a way.

    I can't say enough, black rapid straps ROCK! I have the double camera strap, although I like my dual RS-5 straps better - of course I'm a big guy, so the double strap may fit you better.

    I didn't vote either, but I generally use a Spider Holster for one and a Rapidstrap for the second. I have Rapidstraps for each, but I like the Spider better.

    If I post it, please tell me how to make it better. My fragile ego can take it.
