I have no experience with Rapid Rings, but I have these rings. I roll up the rings like in the last pic above the video, except I do it tighter. Then I place both straps in a small bag and put that big within the rings. You can just use the bag it comes in as well. Takes 1 to 2 minutes to roll the straps up and I think this actually takes up less space than the Rapid rings.
I have the Vulkens. They’re useable, but not without flaws. The major issue is that the stitching that forms the orange lines between each number has a low quality finish. There are no concerns from a safety point of view - it’s not going to fail - but there are some sharp edges and they scratch my arms when doing push exercises.
The rings themselves are again ‘fine’, but relatively cheap wood. I look after my kit, and these show some wear just from use and being in my bag. Not really a problem… as I say, they’re ‘fine’.
The other accessories were a waste for me - I never use them.
I do like the carabiner system. If you’re changing the height frequently, it is slightly quicker. I do a lot of super sets, so it suits me. It has to be used on a straight bar though - if you ever think you might want to hang your rings from something uneven like a tree, you need the cam buckle strap to get them level.
When I bought mine, the Double Circle rings were not available in the UK. If I were purchasing now, I’d be curious whether any of the community have an opinion on them:

I do have a set of cam buckle straps too, and I ultimately got a bit fed up with them not because they were cumbersome to use, but because the numbers were wearing off. That problem may not apply to the brand you’ve linked.
I also have both 28mm and 32mm rings. 32mm are slightly easier for push, 28mm slightly easier for pull. I think you’ll mostly get used to what you have. I have a very mild preference for the 28mm, as I can hold a false grip better with them.
If there are sturdy trees around, take some rings, which are my preferred method of doing bodyweight pull ups due to the stabilizers involved. You can also do pushups, dips, ring rows and a bunch more. I always take mine whenever I travel as they don't take up much space.

I got a plain pull-up bar and have hung these rings from it. I've heard it can be harder to get things online in Canada though. I wish you luck in finding some things that work for you!
I was doing pole dancing until I had kids but we've moved and there's no place close. I'm so tempted to put up a pole in the playroom, ha ha!
I had a standard ring straps for a while then ran across these and found them much faster to set up. They use clips instead of standard clamps. You can get them with or with out rings. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076X32LFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DFB4PH8R2BTKE0V9T147
I got these. They are notched so you can quickly change lengths and have everything even. When I got them, there was the original ones, I think from Italy, but they wanted like $200 and these. Now there are a few different ones under $50. If you search "double circle" on Amazon, those will also come up. No idea how they compare, but it's possible they're all from the same Chinese factory.
And if you plan on moving your rings a lot and not having a permanent place to hang them, I would really recommend getting competition straps, where the clips lock into number loops, rather than having to sling the straps through a buckle every time you move them or change height. I got mine on Amazon for 52 bucks (compared to 150 from rogue) and having used both, I prefer the cheap ones. I have no association with them lol, just love their product and got a few friends using them and they couldn't be happier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076X32LFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.KTsDbJVAD2NA
Heavy duty carabiner for easy adjustments. I highly recommend

For anyone shopping for gymnastic rings, originally I was looking at this adjustable set up that I just got a restock email for this morning:
https://www.roguefitness.com/recoil-rings
But theyre more than what I wanted to spend. $219 for the hook and another $40 for the rings. I ended up picking up these on Amazon awhile ago.
Strap and rings for only $70. The carabiner clips are metal and not plastic. I find them to be pretty easily adjustable, maybe not as quick as the Recoil system but the difference in price was worth dealing with the clips for me. Feels sturdy hooked up to an RML-3.
Just sharing in case someone is in the market for rings.
Which gymnast rings should I get the garage fit or the double circle ones with the carabiner on Amazon? Below are the links to the items I can't decide which to buy. Would the one with the carabiner be only of benefit to objects close enough to clip them on unlike the buckle where it doesn't seem to have that restriction.
