Nice. Thanks for posting.
 
Brilliant! I will get one of these. I like the bumper feature. Thanks for posting!
 
Can you post a picture of it connected to your epic? I've been looking for something like this for run and gun stuff for Scarlet but I'm wondering what the best method is for connecting it to the camera.
 
I have been wondering about this myself. My one concern is the strength of that clip though... It says the screw on FastenR is solid stainless, but what about the ConnectR? Would hate for that to break and drop a 8-10+lb camera....

How about go for this Double and have them both fastened to the Epic/Scarlet!
 
I've been using the BlackRapid R-straps since version 1 and I've gotta say, having used a great many straps as a photographer, this is pretty much the end-all of them. The ConnectR and FastenR designs have been improved greatly over the years. I routinely slung around a Nikon D3 with 70-200mm f/2.8 off it just about every day, and during football games it'd often be carrying around a D3 or gripped D700 with a 300mm f/2.8 for closer stuff while I kept my 400mm on the monopod. Really comfortable, secure, and puts the camera in a great spot compared to a normal neck strap. Plus with all the attachment points you have on an epic/Scarlet, you can orient the camera any way you want.

I'll probably get the latest version for my Scarlet. They're all angled and ergonomic nowadays...
 
This may not be the cheapest strap, but I'm convinced it's the best for the Epic or Scarlet. The guys at ViewFactor have really done a great job with the gear they craft for cameras, and their LEVO strap is super strong. This is very important to me as I've had experience with a camera strap breaking and destroying the camera. I would say the LEVO strap is bombproof. The latches are incredibly strong and the strap even has a 'biner loop. The padded section folds in half for tidy storage and using it as a pad for the camera too. My LEVO strap lives on my camera, only coming off when I put it on the tripod, and that is one of the nice features, the latches are easy on / easy off. ViewFactor put a lot of thought into this strap and I highly recommend it.

I second that!!
 
Been using the BlackRapid products for several years with my DSLRs, it's a wonderful piece of gear. One of the best investments I've made and you definitely can't go wrong.
