Keep your camera ready at your sideβ€”so you can fully live the moment on every hike, travel, or shoot. Strap Includes Official BLACKRAPID FastenR Official BLACKRAPID FastenR Included! The official BLACKRAPID FastenR is included with your strap. It's steel reinforced and plastic coated to protect your strap's carabiner. We recommend using only the official connector, as third-party options may cause damage to the strap's carabiner. The Original Camera Sling Since 2008 Ron Henry, professional photographer, literally turned the camera world upside down in 2008 by hanging cameras upside down on the BLACKRAPID sling. Professionals worldwide use BLACKRAPID because the strain is taken off your neck. You can carry a camera all day long, and still work quickly. And this cross-body design keeps the weight of a heavy camera or lens in-line, balanced on your shoulders. Save your neck and trust your gear to the original BLACKRAPID strap. Review: Amazing for Hiking and Backpacking! - I've used a sport breathe strap from BR for years, but it's not too comfortable once you put a backpack over it. This solves the problem! Connect it up to the load lifter on one side and the lower strap on the other and you're good to go. The package seems really small for the price, but it works great and is solid. Review: Get the BlackRapid Cross Shot instead! - My camera + lens are a bit heavy, and I was looking for something better than my old neck strap for hiking. I bought this and liked it. The strap distributed the weight pretty well and my camera was very accessible. The setup works fine with my longish lens, Canon 70-300L with hood. This strap was a huge improvement over my old neck strap, and a vest carrier that I had tried previously. The major downside was that it is cumbersome to take the pack off and on using this strap, and for where I hike the pack has to come off every so often. The other problem is you can't use this as a stand alone strap. Since I liked this strap I bought the BlackRapid Cross Shot. It turns out I prefer the Cross Shot under my backpack more than this dedicated backpack strap. It is safer for my camera that I can take the pack off and keep the camera on. It's easier for me to take the pack off with out the camera. And also, the camera wears more comfortably when it is not pulling on the backpack straps. This strap got me to the strap I really do love, the BlackRapid Cross shot, and for that it was worth every penny. The fastener will loosen over time, so get in the habit of tightening it every time you use it, and use the safety strap. ## Features - Backpack-Compatible Cross-Body Strap - Allows Easy and Fast Access to Camera - Nylon Webbing, 31.5" Adjustable Length - Spring-Loaded Bumper Locks for Camera; CR-3 ConnectR Locking Carabiner; LockStar ConnectR cover to secure carabiner; FR-5 FastenR Breathe; Camera Safety TetheR - Snap-Link Carabiners for Backpack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01LFN7684 | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Best Sellers Rank | #535 in Binocular, Camera & Camcorder Straps | | Brand Name | BLACKRAPID | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | DSLR, SLR, Mirrorless Cameras | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 110 Reviews | | Fastener Type | Snap | | Garment Size Country | United States | | Item Dimensions | 6.01 x 1.41 x 2.41 inches | | Item Weight | 0.16 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | BLACKRAPID | | Manufacturer Part Number | 362001 | | Material Type | Nylon | | Pattern | Solid | | Size | 3.57 cm x 15.27 cm x 6.11 cm | | Style Name | Pro | | Style Number | 362001 | | UPC | 810125020681 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Backpack Camera Sling, Trusted Design, Strap for DSLR, SLR and Mirrorless Cameras - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BKinIbYIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing for Hiking and Backpacking! *by T***J on September 9, 2019* I've used a sport breathe strap from BR for years, but it's not too comfortable once you put a backpack over it.

I'm reconsidering this for an APS-C sized mirrorless camera I've been using regular BlackRapid straps for 10-15 years (back to the original strap with the L-shaped tap and before they adopted a carabiner attachment) but needed a strap for hiking. While I can and do use my standard sling worn under my backpack, I wanted to simply my setup. Unfortunately, with my Nikon D850 this sling did not work well as the weight of the camera pulled the backpack straps out of position and made it too uncomfortable for anything but the shortest of hikes. Now, however, I'm carrying a much lighter Nikon Z 50 for hiking and I've reconsidered this strap. The lighter camera doesn't pull the backpack straps out of position as much. Additionally, I also found a titanium (maybe) d-ring shackle with a screw shaft (I think they are used for purse strap attachment points but are also sold as fancy key ring holders) that I was able to use to create an easy attachment point on my backpack's shoulder strap for the upper end of the camera sling. Finally, I wish they made a QD version of this strap like they do for the BlackRapid Sport. To retrofit this strap, you need to disassemble (or just cut off) the bottom end of the strap to swap out the carabiner swivel to a QD swivel (such as the one made by MagPul) and then resew the end. Alternatively, you can just add a QD adapter to the end of the existing carabiner (get one mounted to a D-ring to minimize sliding back and forth), but that adds to how much your camera dangles as well as to the weight of your gear. I'd much rather they just make a version with a QD in the first place. ## Frequently Bought Together - BLACKRAPID Backpack Camera Sling, Trusted Design, Strap for DSLR, SLR and Mirrorless Cameras - BlackRapid Camera Wrist Strap with FastenR FR-5 to Connect to Tripod Mount on DSLR, SLR and Mirrorless Cameras - BLACKRAPID Sport Breathe Original Camera Sling Right-handed Design, Strap for DSLR, SLR and Mirrorless Cameras --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/34909330-backpack-camera-sling-trusted-design-strap-for-dslr-slr-mirrorless](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/34909330-backpack-camera-sling-trusted-design-strap-for-dslr-slr-mirrorless) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
