Black Rapid : Changing The Way People Carry Their Cameras




Black Rapid, a Seattle based company, has created some great new innovations in camera straps with a special design just for women. Here is the 411 from the company website:

After years of shooting the Seattle music scene, weddings, and other dynamic environments, photographer Ron Henry had a flash of brilliance that would turn the camera world upside down. No more straps sliding off your shoulder. No more fumbling around, wasting time, or neckaches. Like a few of history’s most inspired inventions (the wheel, pre-grated cheese, the bug zapper, etc.), the concept is so simple it evaded everyone… until now.



Your camera hangs upside down, ready to maneuver into position at a moment’s notice via a sliding ConnectR that allows the camera to move freely while the strap stays put. Like a true revolutionary, Ron shared the wealth (so to speak) and started BlackRapid Inc. to ease the pains of the people. In a class of its own, the R-Strap is here to stay.
