I'm biting the bullet and going after a BlackRapid strap for my European trip in a few weeks, but I'm at a crossroads on which to get.
The RS-4 is a simple strap, cheapest (by 5 bucks lol) and has a simple zipper storage for small things.
RS-5 has cell holder, larger zipper case, fold out pouch for mem cards, etc.
RS-7 is the middle price range, no storage options, but is the newest they make with a more comfortable shoulder pad. It's also their newest design that will work with future add-ons.
I'm not sure if I'll need the storage at all on the strap (especially if all it holds is memory cards). I'm leaning more towards the 7 b/c of it's future add ons, but the others have good selling points also (one is the cheapest and some storage and the other is a storage champ)
Any thoughts on these guys, which would you go after? Own one? Which one? LOVE it or HATE it? Wish you would have gotten a different version from br?
Sorry for the ton of questions but I think I'll need to have my small shoulder camera bag with a lense or two if I want to switch while out walking. Is this defeating the purpose? lol If anything, I think the bag would be good for rain if we get any. Or is there a bag I can rig up to go over the strap to keep my camera dry?
