Photographers lugged gear around their necks all day, fighting pain and fatigue just to stay ready. Then in 2008, we changed everything. The RS-4 sling flipped the camera upside down, dropping it securely at your hip—right next to your shooting hand—for instant access without the neck ache. Cross-body comfort replaced neck ache. The camera upside down, has been copied ever since… but never truly duplicated. Now reissued with premium updates, the Classic Retro RS-4 is better than ever. Quick front-tab adjustment for on-the-fly length changes, a built-in zippered pocket that keeps memory cards, cash, or ID right where you need them, and true ambidextrous design—wear it on left or right shoulder with zero fuss. Sleek, robust hardware lets the camera glide smoothly while the strap stays put. Rediscover the original that started it all: the BLACKRAPID Classic Retro RS-4. The sling that literally turned the camera world upside down.

It wouldn't work very well over the neck. **Q: Will this work just as efficiently if over right shoulder with camera at left side? thanks** A: Yes, it is designed to be worn on the right or left shoulder. **Q: Which is better for a heavy lens? This or the Sport?** A: My camera is Canon DSLR along with the canon lens 24-105mm..
