The black RS-5 Cargo Ballistic Camera Strap from Black Rapid has been updated to a stronger and more functional design. The RS-5 is now made from ballistic nylon rather than the previous version of ripstop nylon. In addition to its new composition, it features expanded storage and increased organizational design and an improved closure mechanism. This version now contains pockets in which you can store media cards and other accessories such as a smartphone.
The R-Strap is worn diagonally across the torso from shoulder to hip and is adjustable to fit most photographers. The locking FastenR-3 connects the strap to the tripod socket located on either the camera body or the lens. Once connected, the camera hangs upside down, resting securely at the side or in the small of the back, with the lens pointing behind.
The RS-5 Ballistic Strap has a front pocket for carrying a smartphone, large battery, walkie-talkie, or similar sized items. There is a pocket on the top of the pad that opens up to store memory cards, ID, credit cards, etc. The pockets close and open silently thanks to padded magnets
