Whether I’m out on a photo shoot, photo walk, or hiking the trails, I always want my camera to be secure. And while most of the time I have my camera in hand, these activities may require me to be hands-free at times. That means using a camera strap is not an option, it’s a necessity!

Our friends at BlackRapid have made securing your camera simple and comfortable with the Kick strap, designed especially for women. *Men, no need to feel left out, they make straps for you, too!

This strap is designed to “kick” the webbing to the center of your body, making it comfortable and easy to wear for long periods of time. The strap is secured to your camera using the tripod mount area, allowing your camera to rest conveniently at your hip, ready for that next shot!

Here’s a quick video with more information on how the Kick strap is worn:

If you love a good cause (and the color pink!), you’ll love the Kick Pink strap, which is available while supplies last. $10 of your Kick Pink purchase will go to the Carey Foundation, supporting women and men diagnosed with breast cancer.

I’m a huge fan of equipment that works as hard as I do and still looks great, and the Kick strap definitely checks off all of those boxes.

UPDATE: The Kick strap featured in this post is no longer available. Check out the BlackRapid Curve Camera Strap as an equivalent.
