It took a little getting used to especially walking around tighter places and knowing how to keep the camera from hitting a doorway or something but it is really comfortable and I love the curve for us women! :)

This well-made strap is very comfortable on me even though I'm chunky and busty. Bringing the camera to my eye is accomplished in a very easy and smooth motion. I use a CottonCarrier Universal Adapter Plate to attach my BR strap and tripod plate to the bottom of my camera. This option is much more useful than BR's Manfrotto option. I've tried the women's Joby Strap and I like my BR so much more.

I use this with my Canon 6D. I really like it because of the way it feels unlike the regular straps that you purchase that go around your neck. I normally always used the regular strap through one arm to the side and it would cut at my neck. This one is perfectly made to not do that. I also like the ease of grabbing your camera when you want to take a photo. I love it.

My first Black Rapid was the sports model. I liked it a lot but the underarm strap bothered me. Eventually I passed it on to my husband, who loves it, and I purchased the Women's Strap. It is perfect. I was always bothered by the straps that hang around the neck and I can't stand having my camera bounce on the front of my body. With this strap I am able to wear the strap cross-body and the camera hangs safely at my side, lens down, a bit behind my hip. It zips up the strap like a breeze when I'm ready to shoot.

I use this strap for all my shoots. I can wear any kind of clothing and it fits perfectly across my body and maneuvers easy when I need to adjust. I feel safe with carrying my camera on the end of it. I was hesitant at first but after using it one time I was confident and felt secure with it attached to my camera. The strap is very comfortable and allows me to move around my subject whether I am shooting while laying down or shooting above the subject. I absolutely love this product and would recommend it to anyone.

Simple design that is very comfortable to wear, even with a heavy telephoto lens on it's still comfortable. Extended wear is no problem with this strap. This is the most comfortable camera strap I have ever used.

Love having my hands free to pose my clients and still have my camera on my body.

I just recently purchased this strap for my Sony NEX, and I love it. When I had the neck strap on my camera supplied by Sony, my neck would become fatigued rather quickly, and I found myself holding the camera to alleviate any pain and/or tiredness. As soon as I put the Black Rapid strap on, I could feel the difference. I took a weekend trip and was able to wear my camera all day without any pain or neck fatigue.

I can see how photographers who use a tripod a lot might wonder about buying this strap since it attaches to the camera via the tripod connection, but since I don't use a tripod very often, it was not a concern to me. The connection between the strap and camera feel very secure.

This strap is very well designed and made. The price is reasonable.

It is at the bottom of the camera so when I take pictures the straps doesn't block the screen/display.

I'm 5'8, the strap is long enough to let me crossbody carry the camera.

In summary, great quality great product.

I own a Nikon DSLR and I could never carry the camera around my neck because the strap was uncomfortable. I saw the RS-WI Women's Strap advertised in a magagzine and thought -- this is the answer to my problem. I purchased this strap and I am so GLAD I did. On a recent trip to Walt Disney World I carried my camera at my side and because it was so comfortable, at times I almost forgot it was there.

It is so nice after all these years to not have my camera hanging around my neck! The only downside is that it screws ito the same spot as the tripod, so you have to take it off to use your tripod. Also Be careful of the rubber disc between the strap and the camera, came off once when I was going back and forth!

I bought this strap for a two week vacation, in which I wore it all day every day, and it was very comfortable and works as advertised. My neck did not hurt, and it was comfortable on my shoulder and around my chest. I used it with my Nikon D90 and a 35-105 zoom lens. The connectors all held tight. The only reason I can't give the fifth star, is that the strap would shift around when I sat down, so I needed to move it on my shoulder when I stood up. Also, because it connects to the bottom of my camera, it was awkward to take off and set down my camera during a restaurant meal, without having my camera case to put it into.

I was looking for a strap that I could use for my camera and that would enable me to practice my photography while still chasing after my two young children. After doing a lot of research and talking with others who have used this, I decided to go for it.

I was not at all disappointed. This strap is fantastic, fits great, and is very versatile.

Just be aware that none of the packs or extras that Black Rapid sells work with this particular strap. Had I know that I would not have had to return one.

It works well. Love it! It's way better than the strap that comes with the camera.. Could not go back to the old one if I had too!!! I wondered how well the connector was from the strap to the camera. If it comes loose and if I had to worry about that my camera coming off the strap but No issues at all. It stays tight and works very well>>

I got this strap to replace the kit strap for my Nikon D7000. Like the idea that it is designed for the female form. I would have given it a 5 star, but am reserving that 5th star to see how it performs with my 70-200mm Nikor lense that weights a ton, and I need for sports shots (without a tripod). I am a bit leary that I may find the camera on the ground due to the coupling... but manufacture sez its strong. So far so good and it seems sturdy.

I purchased it for my sister. She simply loved its design to carry the camera&lens and fit of the strap.

Comments about BlackRapid RS-W1 Ballistic Nylon Women's Strap (Black):

This will be useful "in the field" as it takes the weight of the camera strap off my neck.
Unfortunately, my Nikon does not have a screwhole in the top of the camera so it has to be fastened to the bottom either in the tripod screwhole or on the tripod attachment. Either way, the strap becomes useless when using a tripod as it has to be removed.
