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.
Mission Statement
We encourage everyone to embrace the present and join us in making life more thrilling from this day onward.
We value honesty and authenticity, advocate for simplicity, and support taking risks to pursue your long-held dreams.
Experience the freedom to live without limitations and envision the destinations you’ve always wished to visit.
As a company, we operate in a space free from competition, collaborating with innovators dedicated to creating meaningful change for themselves and the world.
Live the life you are passionate about.
–Ron Henry, Founder.
