p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Has anyone used the Black Rapid Yeti strap?


I'm looking into getting a dual camera Black Rapid strap. I hadn't looked at BR for a couple years and didn't know till yesterday that they had some new options for 2 camera straps. Before they only had the DS1. I'm liking the idea of the Yeti that is cross shoulder and can be used as either single or double strap. Does anyone own one of these Yeti straps? Any pros or cons?

Thanks
Geoff

I could imagine it being a pretty big strain on your shoulder, depending on the cameras you're using. Two mirrorless would be fine, but going up to DSLRs, especially with good glass, would be rough.

+1
i also think it depends on what you are going to carry. having carried 2 x 1-series canons around at events, i know that the yeti would result in a sore neck/shoulder, whereas the br dr-1 type straps work well. for me, it's like carrying your gear around in a shoulder camera bag vs a backpack.

I have it and love it but I rarely ever shoot two bodies. I shot one wedding ceremony with a D4 and D600 connected and it was fine but again I don't have much experience with two body shooting to make a strong comment one way or another.

I'm sure I would end up with broken cameras after they smashed together repeatedly.

Thanks for the replies. I also worried about the strain on the single shoulder. I may opt for the DS-1 instead.

One of the nice features of the Yeti is the extra wide strap, it does make a difference on how your shoulder feels ager a long day.
