SUPPORT<\/h3>\n

I have watched what Peak Design<\/a> has been up to for numerous months now.  I was initially impressed with their crowd-sourcing approach through KICKSTARTER<\/span><\/strong>.  With each new idea they put forth sufficient backers were on board to move their projects forward.  All four project were funded well over 100% (819% – 3,646%)  Those are astonishing rates; that says a lot.<\/p>\n

INNOVATIVE DESIGN<\/h3>\n

I think PeakDesign hit the proverbial nail on the head with their Slide<\/a> product.  In my estimation this is very close to perfection.  The only thing missing for me is a D ring to attach accessories or a safety strap.  Slide solves the issues I have with their Leash product (narrow strap and no padding).  I think the Leash<\/a> still has its place as a minimalist-type strap for those that like to keep it simple.  I was [and continued to be] enamored with their anchor link connection systm – how the camera attached to their strap-type products.  It is so simple.  I’ve not read about any issues with it yet.  Each anchor is rated for over 200 lbs*, they are light weight, will not scratch your camera body and are warranted for life.  If anyone can think of any drawbacks here, by all means enlighten me with your insight.<\/p>\n
