Black Rapid strap - any decent alternatives?

[flat cap]

Anybody use Black Rapid straps and got an opinion on them please? Looking for a decent strap.

Use the Commlite CS-S01 to my great satisfaction. Is much cheaper than Black Rapid and does the same so a good alternative. My Commlite even has a sling for under the armpit, I believe Black Rapid doesn't have, for more comfort and stability.

Cheers,

I have been using a Black Rapid Sport for a few years. It is comfortable, well made and features an underarm stability strap, and security clip on the carabiner to prevent it from undoing.

Not the cheapest strap, but can recommend it.

I've got a Joby Sling Strap. It works well, I've got a security line attached as well (I think that was extra?).

It has been approved by my chiropractor - she was trying to tell me to take a break from photography as she thought I was using a neck strap!!!! She is happy with the way the strap distributes the weight.

From my point of view it is great for walk-abouts (eg statics at RIAT or street photgraphy). Easy to shorten the strap for fast walking, and easy to get the cam into shooting position.
