[QUOTE="nsomnac, post: 595598, member: 41774"] Being a BR owner. Why the PD Slide? You all say you love it, but why? You've mentioned things you don't like about other straps. What feature of the PD makes it better, than say a BR Curve or Cross Shot? For me, I like the BR because it's a true slide strap. The carabiner can slide along the strap so the strap stays put on your body and doesn't move. This design keeps the strap from bunching up and dangling in front of the LCD or viewfinder. FWIW, the 1/4-20 attachment isn't a limitation - they offer a replacement bolt for your tripod mount, and I think RRS actually makes a replacement base plate that you could attach any strap and still use the 1/4-20 for a tripod. The thing I dislike about the BR system is the camera can spin and flop around at your side. It also doesn't have a very good solution for managing excess strap, it attached so it doesn't whip, but it does just kind of dangle in a messy way on your backside.
