Re: R5 + Grip + RF100-500 & BlackRapid Sport

I started using a BlackRapid Sport X in the summer of '21. I few months after Covid I had vertigo on and off. If I put something around my neck like a camera strap it could get really bad. I bought a BR strap and it works great. I use it often with my 100-500. I don't have the grip. I have tried grips on and off for 20 years with my various Canon DSLRs and never liked them, I am pretty big several inches over 6 feet with big hands and the grips just felt too big for me. I also never used a wrist strap, My camera would be in the shop every month. I have a tendency to drop stuff. My only regret is that I never tried the BR strap earlier. I really like the balance when hiking and I want my camera available and not in my backpack.
