i got the q strap for like 6 pounds i think
i saw it is virtually identical to the black rapid strap. black rapid must make a fortune!
i tell a lie mine has a little K on it. but same strap exactly, must be the same production line and it was 7 pounds
i think the logo must be made of gold for black rapid
silver for q-strap
bronze for K one i got
People say that all the time. Almost every time the product is not made on the same production line. Even if it's made in the same factory that doesn't mean it's made with the same materials.
And here's the other side of the story

Which has nothing to do with the BR strap and everything to do with the poor quick release D ring. Perhaps they went for a 3rd party version of their manufacturers one as "it looks the same".
