Our Story
BlackRapid has turned over 1 million cameras upside down since 2008. Founded by Seattle photographer Ron Henry, BLACKRAPID was established from a revolutionary idea. Ron saw a need for an ergonomic solution for all day shoots and so the original camera sling™ was born.
Our patented ConnectR and FastenR system allows your camera to quickly glide up the strap and into shooting position, improving the speed, comfort and efficiency when it matters most – never miss a shot.
Trusted by photographers worldwide, we create our products with high quality materials and innovative designs. We know you’ll feel the BLACKRAPID difference from the moment you first put on one of our straps.
“Live the life you’re passionate about.” – Ron Henry
Our Founder
“I would like to express my gratitude to our customers who share their feedback about how this strap has improved their photography experience. Your insights are invaluable as we continue to explore ways to enhance your shooting experience.”
