Win a new BlackRapid Strap

Win an RS-W1 or RS-7 Strap

I’m really excited about today’s new sponsorship announcement.   Outdoor Photo Gear (OPG) has agreed to become part of the Batdorff Photography sponsorship family.   I take sponsorship very seriously and I try to align myself with people that create great products and services.  Most importantly, I always use what I promote.  A few months ago, I was scrambling for a ThinkTank Shape Shifter bag for my upcoming trip to India.   I contacted OPG a few days prior to my trip and the very next day I had the bag. But that’s not what sold me on OPG.  What sold me was that fact that these folks took the time to hand write me a little note thanking me for my business and threw in a few free mints to boot.  Folks, that’s the sort of customer service  that actually made me feel good about my purchase.

Chris, the hardworking owner at OPG, and I want this to be a fun partnership and to kick off this sponsorship we’re giving away one  RS-W1 or RS-7 strap.   The new RS-W1 strap is specifically designed with a woman’s form in mind and it’s probably the hottest camera accessory to hit  market this year.  Now, guys don’t worry.  If you win the drawing then you’ll get an RS-7 strap or if you want to surprise your favorite female photographer just let us know you that you want the RS-W1. I personally have been shooting with the RS-7 strap for quite some time and can’t image using anything else. The people at Black Rapid make a killer strap and I’m really excited OPG is donating one of your choice.

The Contest:

You have three chances to win…yep that’s right!

  1. First chance to win—Leave a comment on my blog  like “Retire my old strap!” Or, “Hook me up!”
  2. Second chance to win–Stop by Outdoor Photo Gear’s Facebook Page HERE and  click “like” and leave a similar note to the one above or thank these folks for the contest.
  3. Third chance to win—Stop by my Facebook page HERE and leave a comment about the contest.

Oh wait, this is the best part!   Outdoor Photo Gear was so cool about this giveaway that they wanted all my readers to benefit, so they gave me a coupon code. One week only,  just use (JOHNB10OFF) during checkout and you’ll save $10.00 off on a purchase of $50.00 or more, plus, you always get free ground shipping (US only).

The winner will be randomly drawn and announced next Friday July 23rd.

Good luck to everyone and a special thanks to Chris and his team at Outdoor Photo Gear for making this promo available to my readers.

And I will make everyone in my photography club buy one.

  70. Looks like this strap would be easy on my back. Just what I need!

  71. Andy says:

    This strap would help our young ladies at school as they take pictures for our yearbook.

    Please help me retire my old camera strap, since it is the one that came with the camera. I have heard that this strap is the most comfortable a woman has ever tried.
