$35 Carry Speed CS-1- Much Better than Black Rapid R Strap
I highly recommend a Carry Speed brand name sling strap, they really fix a lot existing problem on other sling strap, why paid extra money for brand name, Carry Speed Strap is best value in Market. 1. their mounting plate offer an extra tripod mount which you install almost whatever without remove the mounting plate 2. they build pretty tough, as I measured, their strap thickness is 50% thicker than black rapid R strap, I feel much safer 3. it comes with a Uni Strap, which is very helpful to hold your camera to your hip or you may use it as security strap. 4. the price is very resonable, i go it for $35 Only. 5.they have tons of video show how tough it is, they even hang a 160lb guy on that strap to test it. I found this strap through a recommendation from my friend It works much better than R strap, for $35 only, I would highly recommend it.

leanate6: I really liked the BlackRapid construction and so on, but i HATE the tripod mounting point. The first link you provided has a better option, but I also dont like the strap they use to attach the strap to the camera body.
The Carry Speed option that Tim has shown seems like a not-as-effective knockoff.
