what kind of music is this in the beginning of the vid?

sounds cool.....;o)

[Gingbourdon]

@johnnyass68 I don't Remember the exact name. Its a built in song sample type thing in Garage Band.

this works great...helps save your neck from straining.

@siliconsurf yeah its real comfy... Im hoping to get a good long day at. Bridge day with it.

It might take a bit of getting used to for some people, but when I'm out shooting I hold the camera in my hand the entire time, no straps, no bags, not even my phone or wallet. I keep a little wrist strap on just in case something knocks into the camera, but I haven't come close to dropping it so far. I feel free, just me and my picture making tool out shooting until all my batteries die and memory cards fill up (I just have to make the decision what lens to equip before leaving the house).

[Gingbourdon]

@videochemist I def understand the freedom. If Im around the house or maybe right outside the door I tend not to use it, but if Im out and about I will. I don't trust myself. Over all it stays out of your way and isn't too bulky. so it still feels pretty free.

This Review SUCKS!

If u get something like a Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket and maybe somehow attach that to ya strap maybe that might help with carrying those extra memory cards and cpfs

thanks for this review. You sold me on their product. I wanted to tell you, I just saw one of the company's videos of the straps and they indicated that the clip that you were unsure of is a front clip that you can slide down to meet the camera on the opposite side. This will mean the camera is clipped on both sides, and would stop it from moving up or down. This would be good if you wanted to clip it behind your back and not allow it to slide back up. Thanks again for the review.

Nice Review...!! Thank you...!!

That clip on the top of the strap is for when you're not using the camera and are on the run, you clip it down by the camera and it'll keep it in place.

good stuff

thanks... I was really wondering if it's worth getting the RS-5 for the pockets or go RS-7 for the contoured feel. I'm thinking the RS-5 would be comfortable enough without the contour.

To me it looks like you have the camera set too high on your hip. Another 3" lower and you wouldn't need to stoop to look through the viewfinder.
