Product Information

Full details

The BlackRapid Double-X Extra Comfort is designed for photographers who need to carry two cameras comfortably and securely. Its key benefit is the ability to distribute weight evenly, reducing strain during long shoots, with a potential caveat being its bulk for users prioritizing extreme minimalism. This versatile system allows for a single pad to be detached and used independently, features durable yet breathable materials, and includes all necessary connectors for immediate use.

FAQs

Can I use this strap for just one camera?

Yes, the double pad can be detached, allowing you to use it as a single camera sling pad.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

While BlackRapid does not specify a maximum weight capacity, the system is designed to be robust. Ensure your camera's tripod mount is secure and consider the combined weight of your cameras and lenses.

How do I clean the strap pad?

Gently clean the pad with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed. Allow it to air dry completely before use.

What are the LockStars for?

The LockStars are small plastic pieces that screw onto the carabiner gate, preventing accidental opening and adding an extra layer of security.

Is this strap suitable for heavy camera setups?

The strap is designed for comfort and durability, but extreme setups with very heavy bodies and lenses may still cause strain over long periods. Proper adjustment is key.

What is the difference between this and a standard single strap?

The primary difference is its ability to carry two cameras simultaneously, distributing the weight across a wider, padded area for enhanced comfort and quick access.

Can I replace the included FastenR?

Yes, the FastenR (FR-5) screws into the camera's tripod mount. If it becomes damaged, it can be replaced with another compatible QR plate or tripod mount screw.

Troubleshooting

Camera feels unstable or sways excessively.

Ensure the cam-locks are engaged properly. Adjust the strap length and pad position for a snugger fit against your body.

Carabiner feels difficult to attach or detach.

Verify that the FastenR (FR-5) is screwed in straight. Ensure the carabiner gate is fully open before connecting or disconnecting.

Pad is uncomfortable or digging in.

Adjust the pad width and position on your shoulder. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly across the pad. Try adjusting the overall strap length.

Safety tether seems too loose.

The safety tether should have a little slack to allow camera movement but should be taut enough to catch the camera if it slips. Adjust its attachment point if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortably carries two cameras, reducing neck and shoulder strain.
  • Versatile design allows for single or double camera use.
  • Durable and breathable materials enhance user comfort during extended wear.
  • Includes all necessary hardware for immediate attachment and use.
  • Secure locking mechanisms provide peace of mind.
  • Adjustable fit accommodates various body types and preferences.

Cons

  • Can be bulkier than single-camera strap systems.
  • The weight of two cameras plus the strap can still be significant.
  • Requires proper initial adjustment to achieve optimal comfort.
  • May be overkill for photographers who only carry one camera.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach the FastenR (FR-5) to the tripod mount of each camera.
  2. Connect the Swivel Locking Carabiners to the FastenR on each camera.
  3. Adjust the pad width and strap length to your preferred fit.
  4. Engage the cam-locks to secure the cameras when needed.
  5. Attach the Camera Safety Tethers from the strap to the camera body's strap lug for added security.

Compatibility:

The BlackRapid Double-X Extra Comfort is compatible with most DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and bridge cameras that have a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount. The included FastenR (FR-5) is designed to work with this mount. Ensure your camera's tripod mount is sturdy enough to support the weight of the camera and lens.

Care:

  • Clean the pad with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking.
  • Inspect all hardware (carabiners, connectors, tethers) regularly for wear and tear.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
