This week we’re giving away three BlackRapid SnapR camera bags and one BlackRapid R-Strap camera strap – Four winners!
Update Friday 18 May 2012 16:01: And the winners are…
Mark Cyrus, Sam W, Fiela Jonck, Matt Arderne and Luc le Grange!
Hope you guys enjoy your BlackRapid bags/straps! Thanks to all the other comments and entries – keep an eye out for next month’s giveaway on Facebook and Twitter.
Update Friday 18 May 2012 14:48: The competition is now closed! Thanks for all the entries! The winners will be announced this afternoon.
Hi everyone, this month we’ve got FOUR prizes to give away to our lucky fans! Up for grabs are three BlackRapid SnapR camera bags with sling straps, and one BlackRapid R-Strap Limited Edition sling camera strap.
BlackRapid’s mission is to make the world’s fastest camera strap, and we think they’ve succeeded. The difference between a regular camera strap, and BlackRapid’s R-Straps, is the way they act more like slings for your camera. By having the camera on a slider, you have faster access to your camera while keeping it secured to your body.
Recently launched, the BlackRapid SnapR camera bags offer the convenience, speed and security of their R-Straps for compact camera users. Take a look at the video below to see them in action.
We’ve got three various sizes of SnapRs give away this month – the 10 will fit most point-and-shoots, while the 20 and 35 offer a bit more space for rangefinders, small interchangeable lens cameras and other compacts. For DSLR users, we also have the R-Strap Limited Edition to give away, which is modelled on the RS-Sport.

What I LOVE about the R-Strap is not only is it a limited edition, but you have faster access to your camera while keeping it SECURED to your body.
My favourite feature of BlackRapid’s products is that by having the camera on a slider, I have faster access to my camera while keeping it secured to my body especially when you are on a photo trip somewhere in the bush, veld or town.
I love the sliding system on the R-Strap. SO much easier and safer to manouvre than my standard strap 🙂
These are a massive improvement on the standard straps. Would love to have one.
The whole idea to have instant and secure access to your camera makes me excited. Easier and safer to get that shot you would have missed. Just love it.
My favorite feature of BlackRapid’s R-Straps is the sliding effect along the belt,
My favourite feature of BlackRapid’s products is SPEED from the sliding system. I would prefer BlackRapid SnapR camera bags with sling straps.
RS-Sport Please 🙂
Best features on BlackRapid’s straps: Sliding System and Locking Carabina…
R – Strap sounds like a great idea – I have more than once almost strangled myself in my haste to get the shot
The best feature of BlackRapid products is that they’re designed to be fast,comfortable and efficient over and above a generic bag/strap.
I love that they are the worlds fastest camera straps!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I’d love to have my own, i really hope i win!! 😀 😀 😀
hopefully I get randomly selected!
RS-Sport – I just love the whole system, have been reading reviews for months now on how happy people are with the quality and the functionality but have always needed to spend money elsewhere than on one of the best straps on the market!
Really really cool, R-Strap looks so comfortable and keeps your camera safe and super accessible for those rare moments that need to be captured.
I just love love the position the R-strap allows you to keep your camera when not shooting.
I like the SNAP-R because its awesome and will help me take better pictures.
Look uber cool… and are pretty convenient 🙂
Love the concept and easy access. Just love Orms in general!
Sweet! I’m sure this will reduce neck burn as well!
I love the fact that BlackRapid have made a strap with a slider so you can have faster access to your camera and its still secure! yay! 🙂
Quick, easy access to my camera, while still keeping it safe from those unexpectedly slippery, or fumbly fingers. A really great concept.
ooh I would love The BlackRapid R-Strap Limited Edition sling camera strap. I love the strap because of the sliding feature. It means I won’t accidentally drop my camera, it will be easily accessible, and when I’m not using it, my camera is out of the way so that it doesn’t bump into anything when I bend forward. And I can bet it’s less strain on the neck and shoulders.
I love that if I need to disconnect my camera from the strap, it takes seconds instead of minutes!
I often carry my camera across my torso to shoulder when walking to make it easier to carry my other gear. great to see that someone has come up with a solution by allowing you so slide the camera into the right position 🙂
i can see this slider system on the limited edition R-Strap is going to make my life a lot easier taking photos while flying my slope gliders…
Doing a shoot with 2 DSLR’s is bit of a schlep carrying them
around , especially when shooting a wedding.
Love the whole concept of the snapR, it’s quick, convenient and just looks
awesome!
No dropping of an expensive camera and damaging you lens.
Just really need one!
I just love the slider system on the R-Strap (which would be my preferred option if I was lucky enough to win this)! Currently I use a similar product by CarrySpeed, though it isn’t the same quality as Black Rapid.
Sometimes we ignore the simple the simple requirements of photography – having your camera secure and ready. Thats why I love what BlackRapid has to offer.
With the BlackRapid R-Strap Limited Edition I could always have my trusted D90 by my side!
The most important part of photography is always having your camera with you and with these strap it is so easy to have it always by your side. I would prefer the R-Strap if I was the lucky one
This would be perfect for quick outings where I just need my camera and not all my kit. The strap will allow me to quick-draw and catch those elusive moments as they happen!
OOOOOHHHH….i def think one of these straps will be my next investment 🙂
With the camera on a slider, there will be faster access to the camera and it will be safe from being dropped and from being stolen.The R-Strap Limited Edition would work with my DSLR.
Having quick and easy access to your camera is every photographers dream and the ease with which BlackRapid SnapR camera bags have achieved this is revolutionary = safe but available quickly when you need it !!!!! All the products look amazing but the SnapR35 would suit me the best though in terms of space for my camera.
the pure simplicity of having the camera readily available in such a short time makes it quite the admired strap to really have on you — later days
the rugged ness of there equipment, built to last (R-Strap limited edition)
I spend much time shooting at festivals and in crowds of people, so the slider system would mean uninterrupted camera access with a single hand. The R-Strap Limited Edition would suit my camera.
Fast access to camera while hiking.

RS-5 Cargo for comfort and extra storage.
Absolutely love the ‘Slider Concept”. Simple yet effective.
Speed, speed, speed, o and did i mention easy of use. R-Strap Limited Edition
I like the way they look
the sliding feature is by far the best. if i had to choose it would either be the 35 or the limited edition

My favorite is the sling feature as
I sometimes end up with at least one little kid very annoyed because the camera bumped an arm, chest or sometimes maybe even a head while trying to position them with my camera dangling from a very strained neck. The R-Strap Limited Edition would be awesome.
The super-fast access to your camera is the best part! I’d really like the R-Strap Limited Edition for my DSLR. Please.

R-Strap. The best feature is speed, having the camera close by and secure while lessening the strain of conventional straps!
I like the wide straps, makes carrying the camera alot more comfortable. (Especially when it is a DSLR with grip, long lens and flash)
R-Strap – I love the fact that no longer have to compromise between speed and safety. No more lost moments and lost shots.
R-Strap rocks! Its the simple designs that make the biggest difference to life. I love how obvious and yet ingenious the design is. I think for me its the ease of use and quick access thats blows me away.

Favourite feature: Secure accessibility
Preferred product: R-Strap Limited Edition
easy access and great quality accessory….
R-strap limited edition, wow!
Love the grab & glide feature of the R-strap, looks fantastic for photography on the move.
It’s a camera bag and strap all in one! I currently have a Canon Ixus but looking for an additional camera that will allow me to do some really close up shots as well as have the capability to take great wide angle shots. My new camera – once decided upon (any suggestions???) – will have a proud place in a SnapR 🙂
Would really love one of those R-strap limited edition, would be great for travelling. Useful to conceal your camera and easy to wip it out at the rigt time for that great street photography shot!
I would so love to win a SNAP R 35 bag! It looks so chic and I can fit my camera and zoom lens into it. At the moment I’m carrying my camera in a camera bag and the zoom lens in its box. Doesn’t look cool at all!
The bag looks really stylish and I love the fact that it can hold a camera and video camera. In my case though … camera and zoom lens?
Hope I win!
I LLLOOOVVVEEEE ORMS!
A great feature of BlackRapid R-Strap Limited Edition, is
that your SLR hangs out of the way, but you can quickly grab the camera and
shoot.
The faster access when the camera is on the slider
I would really love the R-Strap Limited Edition, and a close second would be the R20. BlackRapid seems to have a sturdy design and the accessibility features are what grab my attention.
Woah. The R-Strap Limited Edition, is everything im looking for in a strap. I have been using the default canon strap and it just isn’t working any more. Favourite feature would have to be the slider design feature. Super fast and ergonomic. Too much to say dream come true? haha 🙂
The R-strap’s super fast slider will ensure that my camera is safe, but not miss the shot! Would love to get my hands on one of these!
Really Love the R-Strap Limited Edition. I have liked the Orm Direct facebook page and I am also following @OrmsDirect on twitter. I have tweeted the competition post & shared it to my facebook profile.

I like the fast access to the camera.

R-Strap Limited Edition please…
BlackRapid RS-Sport Extreme Sport Camera Strap.
It will make sure my camera stay attached to my body when I am diving out of the way of car loosing it’s way off the track. I often take a bit tumble when the cars go crazy. At least this will keep my gear and I attached.
I use a 200-400 Nikon Zoomlens on a R strap – it works very well. Good weight distribution, heavy camera on the side and out of the way, but easy accessible when needed. I can recommend it!
Freedom to do what i love and live for.
photography is no longer a passion – its a way of life –
i see inspiration through my lense and share that with other.
having a strap as versatile as this – would allow me to focus on the most important part of taking out a beautiful picture – admiring and taking the scene itself.
R-Strap Limited Edition
It’s out of the way but still easy to get to. R-Strap Limited Edition
R-Strap Limited Edition, Conveniently out of the way but you are still able to get easy access.
BlackRapid RS-Sport
About to grab the camera fast, drop it down quickly and you got both hands free.
Comfort by design.
For me, the beauty of the BlackRapid straps is in the construction and materials. I love that the straps are designed ergonomically, and done so for both men and women. The company makes different straps for each gender to fit our unique body types. That shows me that they are paying attention to the details. And as the saying goes, “God is on the details”.
Oh and I would gladly accept any BlackRapid strap you’d send me. But if I had to specify, I’d pick the Sport strap.
My fav feature is the camera doesn’t slip off during a wedding
Love the comfort of wearing it. The starps don’t bug you in the least
R-Strap Limited Edition. Secure and super fast access to your camera
Easy…Sling & slide with a BlackRapid R.
I love the fact that I can keep my gear on my body at all times, and not have to put it down just anywhere when I need to! Don’t want to carry the bag everywhere, so having gear on easy access is a big plus!
BlackRapid’s R-Strap is the most versatile way to protect your camera while having it on the ready to shoot in an instance.

The novelty of the design, especially the BlackRapid sport strap

I be shure that this photo accessory is a revolutionary and unique improvement for pro-photographers who need quick access to camera and no matter what is the weight of your photo gear – this strap can help you think about your shots not about your camera. Thanks and sorry for bad english (:
I like that you can keep mobile with you camera gear, without worrying about a strap sliding off your shoulder, and still have fast access to your camera!
What a great way to have quick access to you camera!!!!
