Product Description
Classic Retro (RS-4) Camera Strap – 10th Anniversary Edition
We brought back our most popular camera strap for our 10 Year Anniversary. Through high-performance materials and hardware, we updated the original RS-4 strap with a slim, straight, low-profile pad and sleek nylon honeycomb overlay. Its easy front adjustment is comfortable for both the left or right shoulder, and it has the small zippered pocket you love which holds memory cards or other small items.
Includes front and back spring-loaded Cam Locks, swivel CR3 and FR5 connection system, LockStar ConnectR cover to secure carabiner, and Camera Safety Tether.
What’s the Big Deal?
So what exactly is so great about the RS-4 that made us want to resurrect it? Well, 2018 marked our 10th Anniversary and the RS-4 is literally “the strap that started it all”; it was the first strap BLACKRAPID released on the market back in 2008. We “Turned the Camera World Upside Down” and people loved it.
The original RS-4 was our most popular strap, and here’s why…
Easy front adjustment: Need it longer? Need it shorter? Just grab the front adjustment strap and pull! Done.Slim, straight, low-profile pad: You don’t need a lot of fluff to make the shoulder pad comfortable for all-day shoots, if you do it right. (We do it right.)Small zippered pocket: You know all that stuff that gets lost in the bottom of your camera bag, or stuffed into a random pocket therein? Our integrated zippered pocket is perfect for those memory cards, business cards, or other small items.Right- or Left-handed Wear: Lefties and switch-hitters rejoice! The RS-4 can be slung from the left or right shoulder, with no special adjustments necessary.
How It Compares with Our Other Straps
We know what you’re thinking: How is the Classic Retro RS-4 different from the rest of the BLACKRAPID line?
The cost of the Classic Retro RS-4 puts it right between the utilitarian CROSS SHOT BREATHE and the more refined CURVE BREATHE.The Classic Retro RS-4 is perfect if you’re looking for something more robust than the lightweight STREET BREATHE, but don’t have the budget for the higher-end CURVE BREATHE or SPORT BREATHE.The Classic Retro RS-4 is one of only a few options for left-handed photographers, the others being the SPORT LEFT BREATHE (at a higher cost point) and the ambidextrous CROSS SHOT BREATHE (whose rubber shoulder pad can grip and pull long hair).The Classic Retro RS-4 is one of only two straps with easy front adjustment and zippered pocket.The Classic Retro RS-4 is NOT compatible with the BREATHE line’s BRAD underarm stabilizer and BERT strap extender; other options are being explored.
