New Addition to the Backpacker's Studio



The new Strap. We know a little expensive for a strap but I'm telling you its like Tivo (DVR thingy), until you get it, you don't know how you lived without it! Trust us on this. It's freakin awesome!

  1. Don't feel bad, Andy, I'm genetically unable to thread those horrid stock Nikon straps to begin with. I am cursed with fat, Caucasian fingers that just can't pull off the required loop-de-loops to use the damn things to begin with.

    Not sure how comfortable I am with my camera dangling at my side, though. Looks like a potential lens killer.

  2. i'm glad you guys finally got the r-strap - it's so comfortable to use, especially in the newer versions - the ones you can actually add mods.

    and it's working perfect with any lens, except the long telephoto ones, which you wouldn't carry around you neck anyway.

    i've used an r-strap for about 9 months, and i never felt like going back to the stock-strap (i also have a crumpler industry disgrace which is also awesome)

  3. I've been shooting with one of the R-straps for about 8 mos. I love that thing and have other shooter asking where in the hell I got that Kool strap. You'll wonder how you ever got along with out it. Now I'm looking at getting the double barrel strap when I purchase the 50D.

  4. I would also recommend looking into the Luma Loop from Luma Labs. It's based off the same concept but with some quick-release features. I have both the R-Strap and the Luma Loop and I feel that the Luma Loop is more comfortable. http://www.luma-labs.com/products/loop.

  6. Great analogy on the Tivo but so true! I've had mine for 8 months now and love it. I'd never go back to neck and shoulder aches with the OEM strap.
