Double Strap

Ok, this one might be a bit too "cowboy" for us, but why not? Back in December we told you about the RS-1 camera strap from Black Rapid which lets you carry your digital SLR "sling-style" so you can quickly and easily pull it to your face during those crucial photo moments. The latest follow-up to that model is the RS DR-1 Double Strap which lets you strap on two DSLRs -- one on each hip -- for a long day of riding, er, shooting with two cameras.

While we haven't had a chance to try out this version yet and, admittedly, think it looks a bit odd, we are willing to give Black Rapid the benefit of the doubt. The earlier model, after all, worked great so why not double your luck?

Black Rapid is the brainchild of photographer Ron Henry and Tyler Kope and all the company's products are made in Seattle, WA. Like Black Rapid's other products, the RS DR-1 Double Strap is backed by a one-year warranty and 30 day guarantee.

The new strap will be available in June for $130. Saddle up!
