I love my RS-4 Blackrapid camera strap. Well as much as you can love a strap. I went from the canon strap that came with my DLSR to an assortment of different camera bags, to a wrist strap, and finally settled on the RS-4 strap with a 1" Kirk arca clamp on it. I find its easy, comfortable, light weight, and safe.

So I figured.....another excuse for a blog describing it and how I got there. If you are interested you can read more about it here:

I agree 100%; if you have never used a RS-4 you are missing the boat; complete change in the way straps are made and the way they work.

For 30 years, my chest and shoulders have been beat to heck by poor camera straps; now carrying a camera is so easy, even with a long tele

It's essentially the same product.

I had both in my hands and made my owns by myself.
If the price is similar I would go for the sniper - but the differences are marginal.
It isn't a rocket science product after all.

from my read the sniper isn´t that nice because it doesn´t have the "stoppers" that the BR has, that will stop your camera to jump around

thats right but then you loose the quickness and the ease of use. If you go climbing or running I would put my camera in a sidebag attached do my hips (like lowepro does one).

ah I forgot: Cottoncarrier is also a system that gives you quick access but does hold your camera very secure, you can do all kinds of sport with this equipment. I own it but use it rarely it does look a bit silly but works well.
