BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Overview

The black, BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Camera Strap is designed to be worn across a right or left-handed user's body, draped from one shoulder to the opposing hip. A connected camera can then rest upside-down along the hip so that it can be quickly raised for use. This strap's 1.5" rubber-molded pad grips the shoulder, helping to keep the Cross Shot Breathe in place at all times, eliminating slips and maintaining peace of mind regardless if it is worn over the left or right shoulder. The Cross Shot Breathe's compact form factor is robust enough for heavy loads and spring-loaded bumper locks that can be slid up and down the length of the strap's nylon webbing make it especially easy to limit excess camera movement along the length of the Cross Shot Breathe.

To attach to a camera or a lens, the BlackRapid Cross Shot 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 70.0" and its webbing measures up to 1.0" 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.

BlackRapid Cross Shot Breathe Reviews

BlackRapid Fail, camera crashes to ground

By Daniel
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-03-31

I've had this strap for about five years and loved it until my camera crashed to the ground. The little swivel knob wore out and fell out of the part it fits into. This should never of happened with a strap of this quality. I guess that is another reason to buy one of the security straps to go along with it for extra protection. Luckily the camera is insured.

Clip broke the first time I used it and cannot be replaced

The flimsy plastic clip that holds the carabiner hook shut broke off literally the first time I used this, the day I got it. It is not available as a spare part, the only solution is to replace the entire strap. A shame as it seems well thought through otherwise but the quality is poor. The quick-release buckle also seems like a weak point.

Excellent for lens collar use.

Bought it just so I could use two cameras at an event. Wide angle around my neck using a regular strap and the telephoto hanging from the blackrapid. Worked perfectly and to my surprise the strap makes it extremely easy to get the second camera up and shooting in less than a few seconds. It has earned a place in my camera bag.

BlackRapid steps have served me well over the years. I've never had one fail. My only gripe is cost.

Comfortable, sturdy shoulder strap

I've had several BlackRapid camera straps over the years on various cameras. Presently I have a cross Shot Breathe strap on my D500 and my D750.Never had a problem, they're well made and comfortable. I've seen several complaints about the buckle on the rear strap. I don't care for that either, wrapped it with a zip tie...problem solved.

Poor Customer Service

I have purchased and used two of these straps and had been very happy with their performance. Unfortunately the buckle of the one I most recently purchased failed after limited light use. Since the strap was still in the warrenty period I assumed that it would be repaired or replaced. Rather than recognizing that the buckle was defective and honoring the warrenty BlackRapid took the position that I had accidentally damaged the buckle. The unwillingness of BlackRapid to stand behind their product is the reason I will take my next purchase elsewhere as should you.

The best strap for me

Excellent strap (bought on recommendation from friend) the shoulder strap actually stays to your shoulder... and very easy to adjust and set up and not hard on your neck at all for shooting this is the best strap while walking etc Ive tried em all and the BR straps are the best for a reason!

Love It

bought this for my A7-4 camera rig. The strap that comes with the camera gets in the way when the flip out screen is open, but this strap attaches to the handle of my cage and stays out of the way. its also well made and the rubber keeps it in place.

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.

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.

I'm looking for a camera strap that I could wear while wearing a backpack. Would this work?
Asked by: pam
Yes, the Cross Shot Breathe can be worn while wearing a backpack. We would recommend checking out our BackPack Breathe strap, as it can attach directly to the rings on the pack.

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...
