New Toy !!! (well, its 3 months old) - Leather Strap

Scam · 18 Jul 2011 at 12:02

I got myself a Black Rapid RS7 just before I went on holiday last week and it's absolutely brilliant. It attaches to the tripod mount so surely that would work with a handstrap too?

I have a friend who just got some, and I quote him ****Fully star out all swear words**** Awesome".

You should be able to leave the handstrap on the camera too.

The office episode when tim has a holster for his mobile phone springs to mind

It's not about the catches giving, it's about if some drunk guest thinks it would be a funny prank at a wedding to sneak up on me and unclip it whilst I am busy shooting with the other camera in my hand.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that - now I'm paranoid!

Do like the leather one I have to say - if anyone knows anywhere to get one or something similar let me know

Oh yes you can.

I think that the instructions are in your camera manual. Google helped me find a pdf at the bottom of this page: http://www.itsjustkevin.com/?p=116

The buckle-like thing on the hand strap has an extra hole for the neck strap.

Did have a quick look but couldn't see anything similar to Ray's one - maybe need to look harder

The NS-210 and NS-210p are the closest.

Just taken delivery of the same brown fabric one as Ray - love it! Very comfortable and sturdy and looks good to boot

Been using this combo since I got the 5D2. With the weight of the 24-70L, this is a comfy and quick combo.

I like that leather strap but I don't like the camera over neck unless it's the spare body.

What's the brown cotton/canvas fabric one?

Looks good shame you didn't buy a few extras could have made some easy money.

Anyone here in the same boat that has found some kind of workable solution? I'm not quite sure how, but someone might've had some kind of genius idea

This may be what you are looking for. It uses the tripod mount instead

Thanks, might get one.
Would imagine likely to get hit for import taxes.
