[QUOTE="mikenott, post: 3440244, member: 71182"] Having had a second failure of the lanyard/belt guide on a home made "BlackRapid" type shoulder strap for my Canon 1DxII and the 100-400 isII, I thought I would ask for other users opinion on the model they use and its physical integrity. In my two failures, it was in the metal (alloy?) fitting that slides up and down the shoulder strap with a lanyard type fitting that failed.. I have shown where they typically fail in an attached image (BUT NOTE THAT THE IMAGE SHOWS A BLACKRAPID RS-7 WHICH i HAVE NEVER USED - just using it for illustrative purposes). I tend to use an Arca Swiss female plate (as all my lenses/scopes have Arca Swiss male plates) so will also need a BlackRapid FastenR-3 or similar to allow the RS-7 or similar to attach. So, any recommendations on a strap for this combination and any experience of failures (or successes) with BlackRapid gear? Many Thanks Michael. [/QUOTE]
