Post a picture? We can't tell you if we don't see it
now not at home, will try to post if i am free.
i remember it is not silver, i think is metallic grey.
by the way, why people want to change the default connector and fastener? No good?
If you bought it last week then chances are its a cr3, the cr3 is supposed to be more secure than the cr2, thats what they say

i bought it last week.
by the way, which screw into the base of your camera, cr2 or fr2?
the new one is metallic grey/brown in colour, more rounded, smaller and made from 1 single piece of metal.
the old one is almost stainless steel in appearance, the loop part is a separate part and it swivels on the base fastener. it is therefore a 2-piece design. looking at it, the loop made from a thin rod, bent and clamped into place
u can go www.blackrapid.com to check it out.
Opps sorry, was typo in my previous post, FR2 is the one connecting to the base, CR2 is the loop to the strap
some pictures, maybe someone can help to identify which version.
Looks like a CR-2 with FR-3, the newest version available now, exactly the same as when i get my RS-7 a few weeks back, the CR-2 is a little different from the previous version though
thanks for verifying, is it good enough or should i change the CR and FR?
They are both the newer and improved versions, no point changing at all. Also, you can't really find FR-2 on the market nowadays.
xhui said:Aiyah. That means i've got the "older" versions. Got the rapid strap 4 when relatively new when it first came out. Eh, anyone checked out if CP has the newer fasteners/connectors? Checking if any of our mass sellers here have them as well. Been using it for a while actually, just that I can be paranoid sometimes, kept checking them once a while.. :sweat:
Yes have, saw the new FR-3 selling at CP marina sq the other day, forgot it's $12 or $25.
