About BlackRapid
BlackRapid is a company that revolutionized the camera strap with its patented sling design.

He found that connecting the camera to the tripod hole and hanging the camera upside-down was the solution. With a trip to Seattle’s REI to buy some climbing straps, mixed with simple hardware, he came up with the first working prototype. This was the start of something new and exciting that photographers all over the world would begin to use.
