Default BlackRapid or Cotton Carrier for weddings?

Hola todos!!

Long time I don't visit the forum, first of all I want to wish u all the best year ever!!!

Now, I have the BlackRapid strap for 2 cameras, which is good and comfortable but after a while of being walking around in a wedding with both cameras and flashes attached I get very tired. I've been looking at the Cotton Carrier and looks good to me, although in none of the pics I see there's a flash on the camera, just the camera.

Does anybody has tried both? If not, does anybody owns a CC and could let me know if you use it for weddings and how is it?

Muchas gracias!!

I've not tried a CC, but I will never give up my BR straps now that I use them... I have a single RS5 for single camera days, and a DoubleStrap for gigs... so handy!

Well..... I just purchased the CC on line. I'll wait for it to arrive and will give it a try. I too have 2 BlackRapid's straps, one single and one double. But since I also do a lot of mountainbiking I need something more stable and with the BR the camera keeps hiting my legs when pedaling. Once the UV filter got loose and felt down in a dirt road downhill. Almost got killed by other ciclyst when I stoped to get it.
