I have a RC2 and a BlackRapid strap and I'm wondering whether to get this too. What is wrong with just attaching the BlackRapid strap to the RC2?

Nothing is wrong, I bought this and never used it. I should have returned it, but got lazy.

Assuming you are asking about attaching to the loop directly, I don't believe the loop on the RC2 was designed to carry any weight. This is, and should not fail as you carry around a few thousand dollars-worth of equipment swinging from that one point.

There is nothing wrong with that at all, Since I attached mine to my Cannon 7D I have never taken it off. I even bought a 2nd one and attached it to my tripod ring of my 100-400. It's great being able detach it from the strap and just pop it onto the tripod. Hope this helps.

If you have a heavy camera, the wire tightening loop will pull out. This happened to me with a D300 with MB-D10 and 70-200/2.8. Maybe try holding the camera by the loop over your bed by the loop and try bouncing the camera a bit to see how sturdy the wire tightening loop is for you. If the camera slips out and hits the bed, no foul, and you'll see that you need this. If not, you are probably OK. No guarantees but a big fat probably.

I wouldn't say this strap is overkill. It's all about convenience and comfort. Even someone with a point-and-shoot could use this strap if they're going to be doing a lot of shooting in a day. It just depends on your preference. I didn't like having my camera hanging around my neck with the standard strap; over time my neck and shoulders would start to ache and I found myself fumbling around when trying to get my camera up and ready quickly. With this sling style strap, I literally just reach my right hand down and it grabs the camera in the same position I will be holding it when I bring it up to shoot. Up to you, but at this price point, it may be worth getting even if you only use it occasionally.

I have not had a problem with this but I can see where there might be a problem if you are moving rapidly around but I have not experienced this just walking around. But I also usually keep a hand on my camera when it is hanging from the strap.(just one of my tics I guess). I totally love this strap and the easy of use that it allows me when I am taking pictures.

It fits like a glove have no problem with it so far and I've had it going on 3-4 years now and no issue with the strap. Hope this was helpful.

Hey! I brought this rig for my bmcc and am very happy with how it works! It is abit of a tight fit when you have the whole top piece on aswell but is workable, however I haven't needed to use the top handle and horseshoe parts of the rig on top so just leave it off. The only thing I have found abit frustrating at times is the mounting screw, which is abit fiddly, especially if you have big fingers! I believe gini rigs actually sell a separate bmcc quick release plate for the rig if it is too much of an issue. Overall I have been very happy with this rig with my bmcc and would recommend. Hey!

I have the same question as bareto, the information above says this comes with the T31 chest strap, not the new wearlink one. Is this correct?(I actually hope it is, I hate the new design)

Great! Thanks for the info - it helps to know what else may or may not be needed.BTW, I have advised many people to use the wrist strap, because you never know when it may slip, or be accidentally bumped, and fall out of your grip (no-klutz intended)!

I can't seem to find Case Logic's published spec for the threads on the mounting hardware and wonder if it's a true 1/4"x20? The strap fits the tripod socket on the bottom of my camera and battery grip. It doesn't fit the 1/4x20 threaded accessory hole of my Arca Swiss plate while all other 1/4" accessories fit just fine.Just seems a little odd ...

The more quickly you move the camera up and down the strap the more likely the strap is to shift on your shoulder. If you try to hang the camera down and the strap isn't secure on your shoulder there is a slight possibly of dropping your rig. The strap makes that impossible. I feel very secure and confident about my gear when I have the under the arm strap attached.

My husband does not use the strap. He did confirm that there is only one place to attach. You could possibly call Chapin and get an answer. Sorry we could not be more help.

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305. The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

I only own the Military Strap Trainer system from Woss. If the difference is on the width of the band, I would of preferred it on the wider side instead. Why, because sometimes I do use a TRX system with my PT and I realized the difference was in the width of my military strap was smaller, making it a bit of a harder workout and the handles were not as cushiony. Although functionality wise, everything works well with what I have and am very happy with the military strap system.

It fits barely, like you have to strap it in. And I changed all the connectors to traxis. Also, I feel it makes the drone two heavy, it moves weird. Just get more of the stock batteries, fly it like you stole it and swap every 10 minutes.

Yeah no problem, but you'll need the appropriate hardware, this only comes the the nylon strap looped back on itself with nylon hardware. Not that you asked, but thought I'd mention that this sling is UBER-cool. I have it on an Arsenal AK and it supports is weight while "at the ready" comfortably. Who knows? If the inept government we have keeps doing what it does a societal collapse might actually force me to get practice using it defending my elderly parents from the hungry masses! :-( Glad it's so comfortable! :-) GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

I did not like the strap as I prefer the wrist strap..I purchased mine from Black Rapid....a good one

If you don't have hook on one strap side, and loop on the other, then it is indeed missing something. Look at the picture of the vest. If yours doesn't resemble it, then return it. BTW- I found the SafetyPup people to be very interested in the satisfaction of their customers. I suspect they will make good ASAP on any issues you may have.

Hi J.R.! Hope your are enjoying your RCX5 G5. Well, when I bought mine it came with a clip. Conversely, my friend bought one too and it came with the armband. I think there is no rule for this, it's up to the guys "there". Personally, I prefer the clip. It holds tight on your waist, it's smaller and more comfy to long runs.Keep training and keep healthy!Regards!
