FAQs

Which shoulder is this sling designed for?

The Sport-X Extra Comfort Sling is specifically designed to be worn cross-body on the left shoulder, with the camera resting at the right hip.

What is the purpose of the Underarm Stabilizer?

The Underarm Stabilizer is designed to keep the sling strap from slipping off your shoulder, especially when you are moving or active. It locks the strap into place and is removable if not needed.

What is included with the BlackRapid Sport-X?

The package includes the sling strap, a Swivel Locking Carabiner, LockStar II, FastenR (FR-5) II, Camera Safety Tether II, and a reusable Black Mesh Zippered Gear Bag.

How do I clean the strap?

You can clean the shoulder pad and webbing with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the strap.

What is the warranty on this product?

The product comes with a 1-year limited warranty on manufacturer defects for purchases made in the US from authorized US stores only.

Can I attach this to any camera?

Yes, it is compatible with most cameras that have a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and larger point-and-shoot cameras.

How long is the adjustable strap?

The adjustable strap has a maximum length of 66 inches (167 cm), making it suitable for a wide range of users.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels loose or slides down the shoulder.

Ensure the Underarm Stabilizer is properly attached and positioned under your arm. Adjust the strap tension and ensure the shoulder pad is correctly placed on your shoulder.

Camera does not feel secure.

Verify that the FastenR is tightly screwed into the camera's tripod mount and that the Swivel Locking Carabiner is fully engaged with the FastenR. Engage the LockStar II for added security.

Carabiner is difficult to open or close.

Check the carabiner and FastenR for any dirt, dust, or obstructions. Clean them gently with a dry cloth. Ensure the locking mechanism is functioning correctly.

Strap adjustment is stiff.

Gently work the adjustment buckle back and forth. Ensure the webbing is not twisted or caught on anything. Over time, the webbing will become more pliable.
