Double quickstrap vs Blackrapid dr-1 Video review

Well today I received the double quickstrap and It cost a massive £29 inc post from China, compared to £130 for the blackrapid dr-1 from warehouseexpress.

First impressions?
1. webbing is very well stitched
2. new type of hook to attach strap means no accidental unclip
3. bottom plate is not as good as Blackrapids (this is compared to the screw in clip I have with my RS-5) but still very good.
4. sliding stops or bumpers are not as good as Blackrapids, the blackrapid version feels much more solid and less likely to move.
5. very good for walking around with and camera's are easy to shoot with, no more straps slipping of shoulders.
6. The version I have recieved in comparison to Blackrapid compares favourably.

Enjoy my short video review !

dalkeith thistle select vs Hibs legends

last week I covered a football match in aid of the Pakistan flood appeal. Sounds exciting no? well no it was cold and wet and the game wasnt so good . However its the kind of job that pays the bills , as images from it will be printed in the midlothian times and I made some new contacts.

So what I'm saying is exotic sexy jobs are what everyone wants, but its the bread and butter stuff that keeps you alive.
