BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Overview

The BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Camera Strap is designed to be worn comfortably across your body, whether you are right or left-handed, draped from one shoulder to the opposing hip. Your connected camera rests upside-down along your hip so it can be quickly raised for use. The 1.5" rubber-molded pad grips the shoulder to keep the strap securely in place. The compact form factor is robust enough for heavy loads, and the spring-loaded bumper locks slide up and down the length of the strap to limit camera movement. A durable brass and zinc-alloy CR-3 ConnectR locking carabiner attaches the strap to your camera and the included BlackRapid FR-5 FastenR Breathe creates a connection point using your the 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 to 70" and its webbing measures up to 1" wide. The Cross Shot Breathe Camera Strap is compatible with the separately-available BlackRapid Bert Breathe Extension Strap which can be used to create an additional 15.0" of length. That extension strap features a male side-release buckle on one end and a female side-release buckle at the other. Taller or larger-framed users who require more length with a Cross Shot Breathe Camera Strap can first separate the male and female ends of the webbing's side-release buckle. A Bert Breathe Extension Strap can then be snapped into the Cross Shot Breathe Camera Strap using the extension strap's male and female side-releases.

When multiple cameras or lenses need to be carried, a separately-available BlackRapid CoupleR Strap allows a BlackRapid Cross Shot-series camera strap to be joined with second camera strap, that is also compatible with a CoupleR, to create a functional double-camera harness.

A nylon pouch is provided 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 or left-handed user's body, draped from one shoulder to the opposing hip
  • Connected camera can rest upside-down along the hip so that it can be quickly raised for use
  • 1.5" rubber-molded pad grips the shoulder, eliminating slips and maintaining peace of mind regardless if it is worn over the left or right shoulder

  • Adjustable 36.0 to 70.0" 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
  • Compatible with the separately-available BlackRapid Bert Breathe Extension Strap which can be used to create an additional 15.0" of length
  • Separately-available BlackRapid CoupleR Strap allows a BlackRapid Cross Shot-series camera strap to be joined with second camera strap, that is also compatible with a CoupleR, to create a functional double-camera harness

Would it be safe to screw this into the SmallRig cage for Fujifilm xt-4 and could I use any "-20 hole on the cage?
Asked by: Edith
Yes, you can connect BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Camera Strap (Black) to your camera cage. You can screw down the BlackRapid FR-5 FastenR Breathe on any 1/4-20 threads that can offer a good balance when carrying your camera on the strap.

Can you use this on one shoulder? Is it too long?

Can you use this on one shoulder? Is it too long?
Asked by: Jonathan
Yes, the BlackRapid Cross Shot Single Strap is designed to be worn across one shoulder, and the adjustable length accommodates most users comfortably, so it is not too long for standard shoulder or cross-body carry.

Does this strap come with a safety tether?

Does this strap come with a safety tether?
Asked by: Barry
The BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Strap has a very sturdy brass locking mechanism. However, I did purchase a separate tether just for peace of mind. After almost two years of use, I remain very pleased with this purchase. The strap is very comfortable, while supporting my camera, battery grip and 70 – 200 lens.

question

The BlackRapid website says this strap is made of polypro webbing while this website says it is made of nylon. Which is correct?
Asked by: Walter
I would go with what the Black Rapid site says, as I'm no expert on the differences. It is an excellent strap.

question

I just ordered this strap and I'm worried about the FR-5 FastenR Breathe that comes with it. Is it really made from stainless? cus it seems like plastic material. thanks
Asked by: John Rey V.
It appears to be a composite and has the feel of metal including a coolness to the touch. I have used with a number of heavy lenses and feel very secure, hope that helps...
