When it comes to taking photos, one of the most essential\u00a0accessories\u00a0is a good camera strap. You want it to be secure, but you also want it to compliment the photo taking experience, not frustrate it.<\/p>\n
Recently testing the Black Rapid Metro strap, it was apparent that the Metro is up to the challenge. Metro is one of Black Rapid’s latest and lightest straps, made from ballistic nylon – ideally suited for the new breed of compact cameras. With the same secure connection to the camera’s tripod mount, the Metro strap securely attaches your compact camera just like its big brothers.<\/p>\n
With its easy sliding connector, you can effortlessly slide your camera from your side up to shooting position in a fraction of a second. Two cinch clips let you adjust the sliding range to your own personal\u00a0preference.<\/p>\n
The Metro is also very compact, such that you can carry it in your bag with your compact camera, always ready when you are. It’s only good if you have it with you when the need arises, so its compact size is ideal.<\/p>\n
Despite its small size it can easily handle a larger DSLR if the situation presents itself. Trying it with a Nikon D300S, complete with battery pack, the Metro performed quite well\u00a0and was very comfortable on the shoulder.<\/p>\n
