p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikon partnering w/ Black Rapid on Quick-Draw Strap | |
Along with D4s, I think this is an interesting development as well:
http://www.nikon.com/news/2014/0225_strap_03.htm
All along, there have been some people (myself included) who did not quite trust hanging a heavy camera/lens combination off the tripod socket. Also that the BlackRapid CR-2 metal connector could easily scratch the camera/lens. Then BR introduced their so-called Tether Kit for increased safety against FastenR getting loose, as well as LockStar to cover most of the metal portion on CR-2, and also to keep it from getting loose.
And now, it looks like Nikon has partnered with BR for these newly announced BR style straps, and reading through their announcement, it looks like it will have a "safety strap" (probably similar to Tether) and the cover for CR-2 included.
Now, given that it will now be a Nikon brand, the big question is if Nikon warranty would apply if the strap gets loose, and camera is dropped! I personally doubt it!
