The black DR-2 Slim Double Strap from BlackRapid is worn around the shoulders and is adjustable to fit most photographers. It will carry 2 cameras or lenses vertically at the side. Two locking FastenR3 connect the straps to the tripod socket located on either the camera body or the lens. Once connected, the cameras hang upside down, resting securely at the side of the body. Detach half and use it as a single R-Strap. The RS-DR2 double strap fits men and women.
The difference between Black Rapid's DR-1 and DR-2 is that the DR-1 is for larger framed people while the DR-2 is for smaller framed people. The DR-2 is narrower across the shoulders.

great use to carry 2 bodies on the move
Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
It does make you look really cool! Try one on, and you'll see what I mean with it. Besides that, it gives a great convenience when you need two bodies at the same time. I usually have one short focal length range lens attached on one body and one long focal length range lens on the other. You are pretty much set after that, but if not, it will minimize you changing lenses as often you used to before using this product. It is also surprisingly comfortable to use. I have not a problem using it. What's also cool is that you can turn it to one strap only, if you don't need to carry two bodies. It makes you look cool and brings so much convenience too!

1st time using BR starps and the experience is fantastic. I didn't feel the weight of 2 cameras on my shoulder (5d with 16-35L & 580II and siggy 85mm on 5DII) even after 4 hours event.

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
This strap is a blessing to wedding photogs. No more neck pains ever. I used to carry two cameras (D700 & D300S) on separate straps on my neck crissed crossed. I get tangled up. I am 5 ft short/95 lbs, I bought the slim version after checking reviews as to which one would be better for my size. It is so comfortable, just like wearing a backpack for hours. And the good this about it is that you can wear it a single strap. - - - I was hesitant at first with just the single point connecting to the camera. So I added a "chum" attached to the side hook (where the original straps usually goes). I know it will probably not support the camera in case BR fails, it serves more of a security for myself.

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
I must say sometimes I do wonder: Why so much money for some synthetic straps? Lack of good alternatives I purchased this for my event work. And I must say It prevents my back from aching at the end of the event. It leaves my hands free when walking around or grabbing a drink. It prevents me from having to put my gear down on some table with drinks. It really was worth the investment. Easily to be adjusted, if needed to be made to a single strap. Easily worn underneath a suit jacket.

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
I have two DSLRs but often shot with just one as I didn't like to have two cameras flopping around on their straps; one would fall as I used the other. This strap keeps both cameras secure at all times. The straps are shaped and padded well and the cameras face comfortably down so avoid bouncing around when you walk. Added bonus is the strap separates so you can use a single strap too.

Just recently bought my BlackRapid strap and immediately fell in love with how easy and convenient it is. I often shoot with two cameras and now I don't worry about one swinging in the way while shooting with the other. The easy-to-use clips keep one in place at my hip until I need it!

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
Of you use two cameras like I do for weddings, this is what you need. If you use one camera most the time, and sometimes use two this still might work perfectly. You can just take 1 strap off and then it works normally for just 1! Excellent product, should have bought sooner!

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
I been using my canon 5d mk ii with the neck strap for quite some time. This strap is way better. It is so comfy to use as a single sling or a dual sling. I use it during wedding sessions and this harness makes it possible to shoot with 2 cameras with no hassle at all.

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
I got it to use as a single strap most of the time. It easily separates to create a single strap that is much like the R7. Occasionally I will use 2 cameras so wanted to have the option available.
Very comfortable with [d7000 + 70-200 2.8 + SB600] and [d90 w/ grip + 35 1.8 + SB600].

I do a lot of hiking. This really works great when in the field. Before my neck would get tired. Then I would sling it over one of my shoulders and then it would be sliping off all the time as I climb. Now I have both hands free.

Comments about BlackRapid DR-2 Slim Double Strap:
I wish i had bought this a long time ago, it works great, and is an absolute must have for all wedding, and other pro photographers that shoot with 2 cameras. It can also be split for uae with just one camera, though the strap is a little short to work well as a single camera strap.
