Using a old Optek shoulder strap, some 1 inch webbing, a hand full of plastic nylon tri glides etc and a "UNcle mikes" gun sling attachment i made a strap far better than the R-strap or the Carry speed. Takes me 5 mins flat to make and will take my weight
I use a Nikon AH4 base plate which like the "carry speed" idea works far better than the R-strap
The R-strap is far far too expensive
Mine cost me $15 all in and gets far more positive comments than friends R-straps
What if you don't want to use or can't use the tripod mount? Can you attach it to the regular eyelits on bodies? Specifically thinking those on the FM3a?
I got the RS-5 and after trying to make one on the cheap...I decided that hanging an expensive camera on a DIY strap just doesn't make any sense. Pay the money and get a quality product - I certainly do NOT regret it and, yes, it really works great.
This style of camera strap is great. I got the UK version, the Pap Strap. Better value for money and does the same job. I haven't taken it off my camera yet. Bought mine online from the website papstrap couk If you are in the US then I guess it's the rapid strap, but if you are in the UK definately the Pap Strap gets the thumbs up.

check CARRY SPEED brand name sling strap
which is made by a houston based company
personally I think their strap is better designed, and cheaper than R strap
I got it for $35 Free Shipping from eBay.

@FreakAlert2008 Your 'photographing'? You must mean: "photography'.

Here, in Canada, the strap is like 80$ with tax. Although I am tempted I don't think it's worth it; unless, it improves my photographing.

So I'm guessing you're review for it is a positive one!?
