BlackRapid Curve Breathe Overview

The BlackRapid Curve Breathe Camera Strap is designed to be worn across a right-handed user's body, draped from the left shoulder to the right hip. A connected camera can then rest upside-down along the hip so that it can be quickly raised for use. Incorporating a moisture-wicking shoulder pad, this strap is built to provide most photographers with a comfortable and versatile carrying solution for one camera. Additionally, it is an effective option for thin or smaller-framed photographers who intend to move quickly whether on flat or rugged terrain.

The Curve Breathe further stabilizes the attached camera when used with its included BlackRapid Brad Breathe Stabilizing Strap. The Brad Breathe secures this strap under the user's left shoulder and prevents the attached camera from twisting as it rests along one's right side. When camera movement along the side is less of a concern, the Brad Breathe is easy to remove.

To attach to a camera or a lens, the BlackRapid Curve Breathe Camera Strap features a durable, brass and zinc-alloy CR-3 ConnectR locking carabiner. An included BlackRapid FR-5 FastenR Breathe creates a connection point using a camera or lens's 1/4"-20 tripod mount. The FR-5 FastenR Breathe has a large, integrated D-ring for easy use with BlackRapid straps that utilize a CR-3 ConnectR.

The length of this strap is adjustable from 36.0 to 65.8" and its nylon webbing measures up to 1.0" wide. Spring-loaded bumper locks that can be slid up and down the length of the strap's webbing make it especially easy to limit excess camera movement along the length of the Curve Breathe. When multiple cameras or lenses need to be carried, a separately-available BlackRapid CoupleR Strap allows a BlackRapid Curve camera strap to be joined with a second camera strap, that is also compatible with a CoupleR, to create a functional double-camera harness.

A nylon pouch is included for storage and transport, as well as a plastic BlackRapid Lockstar Breathe Carabiner Protector, which is compatible with BlackRapid straps that feature a CR-3 ConnectR locking carabiner. By folding over a CR-3 ConnectR, the Lockstar Breathe prevents unintentional user contact with a CR-3 ConnectR that could cause it to accidentally unlock. Additionally, it helps to block the metal surface of a CR-3 ConnectR from scratching a connected camera or lens.

  • Designed to be worn across a right-handed user's body, draped from the left shoulder to the right hip
  • Connected camera can rest upside-down along the right hip so that it can be quickly raised for use
  • 2.0 to 3.3" moisture-wicking, shoulder pad comfortably distributes the weight of connected gear
  • Effective option for thin or smaller-framed photographers who are carrying one camera and intend to move quickly whether on flat or rugged terrain
  • Durable, brass and zinc-alloy CR-3 ConnectR locking carabiner attaches to camera or lens's 1/4"-20 tripod mount with provided BlackRapid FR-5 FastenR Breathe
  • Adjustable 36.0 to 65.8" length with 1.0"-wide, nylon webbing
  • Spring-loaded bumper locks that can be slid up and down the webbing make it especially easy to limit excess camera movement along the length of the strap
  • Removable, BlackRapid Brad Breathe Stabilizing Strap secures the Curve Breathe under the user's left shoulder and helps prevent the attached camera from twisting

Perfect - comfortable and very convenient - even with an A7RIVa + Sony 200-600mm lens. I have already bought a second one, for my wife.

Super service by B&H

This review will be more about B&H than the product itself. Before I do that let me say that Blackrapid camera strap surpassed all my expectations. A bit price but carrying my 100-400mm lens has become much easier and lighter. In the past year, as photographic selection has expanded with the competion, several times I opted ordering from them instead of B&H. The main reasons were quick delivery time and easy return. Since B&H implemented the expedited shipping I have returned to them and had been very happy. This order also arrived one day earlier. One of my other orders from the competition took almost a week to be picked up. I love when I read that the order was shipped within a few hours. Thanks B&H.

I've seen people using these for years and thought they looked useful and convenient. It was only when I noticed my standard strap was starting to look frayed that I decided to upgrade. This is a terrific product, very comfortable and practical. I hardly notice it when I wear it, and I think that's what you want from a product.

Can this strap bear the weight of canon 7dii with telephoto lens attached, about 6 lbs?
Asked by: Geetha
Thanks so much for contacting us. We understand your concern and can assure you that all of our straps are designed to safely carry all professional-level cameras and equipment and will easily hold 20kg (44 lbs) of static weight load. We recommend attaching the strap directly to the larger lens, as this will help distribute the weight more evenly. For an added layer of security and to help with peace of mind, we do recommend the use of the Camera Safety Tether that comes in the box with new a strap and is also available on our website as well as our Amazon store. Please be sure to take a moment to view the "How To" video on our website that demonstrates the proper attachment of the camera to the FR-5 using the carabiner for an extra snug fit.

Which BlackRapid product works best with a Canon ...

Which BlackRapid product works best with a Canon SX70 HS bridge camera and binoculars for birding? What if I also carry a backpack. Like my binoculars harness because I have neck pain. Bin sit in middle of chest with straps going over shoulders, criss-crossing behind back, and returning under arms: https://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Optics-Binocular-Harness-Strap/dp/B000BH24JM Will the BlackRapid Curve Breathe work with my binoculars harness system??? Will they get in each other's way? What if I add a backpack? Right now camera on single strap and binoculars are constantly bumping each other. Can't even lift up one to look at birds without tugging and tangling. BlackRapid Binocular strap doesn't look right because it dangles from neck. Like idea of attaching bins to a backpack, but that's the exception, not the norm. Suggestions for perfect combo where camera is easy to detach if I want to hand to my boyfriend or attach a tripod?

question

Can this also be used over the left shoulder or only over the right shoulder?
Asked by: Leigh
The Curve Breathe is specifically designed to wear over the left shoulder. The only single camera strap that we have that is made to go over the right shoulder is the Sport Left. <a href= http://www.blackrapid.com/Sport-Left-Breathe target= _blank >http://www.blackrapid.com/Sport-Left-Breathe</a>

question

Can this be comfortably worn with a backpack?
Asked by: Christopher S.
I have never tried it , but i see no reason it would not work . Maybe you could put your backpack in your car or somewhere safe , as you only need your camera as the sling is designed for quick access for shots and to store it while you are walking or tramping . Happy shooting.

I need to be able to quickly disengage the camera from the strap, and quickly mount it on my tripod using the ArcaSwiss hardware. How? What pieces are needed? Answers to a similar question did not include a solution I could find at B&H
