BlackRapid Classic Retro RS-4 Overview

The black, Classic Retro RS-4 Camera Strap commemorates BlackRapid's 10-year anniversary. It 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.

Its 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 Classic Retro RS-4.

To attach to a camera or a lens, the BlackRapid Classic Retro RS-4 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.

When multiple cameras or lenses need to be carried, a separately-available BlackRapid CoupleR Strap allows a BlackRapid Classic Retro RS-4 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 BlackRapid Camera Safety TetheR is provided to reinforce the Classic Retro RS-4 Camera Strap while in use, 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.

  • Connected camera can rest upside-down along the hip so that it can be quickly raised for use

will it hold nikon d500 with a nikkor 200-500- lenses. Should you attach both ends of strap to lens tripod mount?
Asked by: D
The RS-4, as well as all BLACKRAPID straps, are designed and tested to safely carry all professional-level cameras and equipment and will easily hold 20kg (44lbs) of static weight load. If using a larger lens, we recommend attaching the connector directly to the lens, as this will help distribute the weight more evenly. For an added layer of security and to help with peace of mind, be sure to attach the original Camera Safety Tether that comes with each new strap. The RS-4 has only one end that attaches to a tripod socket.

Does the strap run all the way through the shoulder pad? Or is it sewn at each end?

I just received my strap and want to attach it to ...

I just received my strap and want to attach it to my Canon 100-400 mm lens, not the 7D II body. Attaching to body puts too much torque on lens mount. Bit I need to attach to the tripod mount because the tapped hole in the lens is not 1/4-20. Are there adapters so that I don’t need to use the tripod mount?
Asked by: Edward
The tap on the lens is a 1/4-20, you can in fact screw this into the bottom of the foot on the Canon 100-400mm lens. If you need to have the strap screwed into the foot and don't want to have to take it off every time you put it onto a tripod, you could use something along the lines of this, KIKLP450V2, where you would screw this plate onto the bottom of the collar on your 100-400, screw the Black Rapids plate into the 1/4-20 on the plate near the back which would leave the front of the plate open to be mounted on a tripod.

question

Can you use the strap with an L Bracket?
Asked by: Vito L
Thanks for your inquiry! Yes, you can definitely use an L Bracket with this strap and all of our other straps. The L Bracket from 3 Legged Thing works really well with our FR-5. Take a look at our YouTube video right around the 2:34 mark: <a href= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec94fKbVErI&t=219s target= _blank >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec94fKbVErI&t=219s</a>
