and boy the quality is EXACTLY the same as genuine BR

My buddy picked up this one for $14 - I thought it was $18:

Holy crap, it looks and feels identical as the BR RS-4. It is hard to tell if it is as resilient but at $14 verses 69.99 Canadian, it will be hard to justify the real version.

Yep I got one of those and the slightly more expensive one with the flappy mount like the Black rapid TR-1 connector to see how it compares.

As I said you can pretty much replace the strap every year for 5 years and pay the same as 1 black rapid to mitigate any potential metal fatigue failure.

Black rapid need to set themselves apart by changing to high tensile stainless steel mountings then they can justify that price

I am thinking of making some myself in my shop. Marine grade stainless would be ideal.
