Not too long ago, we caught up with Wong Maye-E, a photojournalist with Associated Press, before she was due to head to Guangzhou for the Asian Games and we got down to talking about how much of a challenge it is for photojournalists to be running around with their gears swinging from their shoulders. Having to worry about the safety of your equipment while staying focused on not missing any significant shots isn't exactly the situation any photojournalist would want to be in.
And that's where the BlackRapid R-Straps come in.
Made with top-notch materials for long days of shooting, the DR-1 is the ultimate solution for two-camera shooters. Ergonomic and sleek, the DR-1 can even be detached for use as a single R-Strap. Check out Maye-E's blog here and here to read what she has to say about the DR-1, which she brought along with her to the Asian Games.
Meanwhile, see how cool and comfortable she looks wearing them:
And then there is the first camera strap that is designed for women by the people who totally get it - women themselves! The BlackRapid RS-W1 has curves in all the right places that makes it a perfect fit for the female photographer, and then there's that little touch of elegance - a very subtle floral pattern that stands you apart from the rest. We're pretty sure Maye-E is having a wonderful time with the RS-W1 too!
