[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 595661, member: 27043"] Ok, so have used both the BR and the Peak Design. For me the biggest thing I like about the Peak Design is that it eliminates all the camera bounce and swing I got using the black rapid. Since I'm normally walking a lot during my trips to the zoo, this was huge. I've tried attaching the quick release to both the top lugs and one to the top and the other to the tripod mount using the peak design. In both cases I can bring the camera up to eye level without the strap falling down in the way, so that wasn't an issue. Of the two the slide mechanism of the BR does seem a bit "cleaner" however all of the slide's I've tried including optechs all have the same camera bounce/shake problem when your moving around. The Peak Designs much stiffer strap however slides off the shoulder easily, and when you put the camera back down at your side it slides right back. It was a bit weird at first but I got accustomed to it pretty quickly. All in all I'd have to say I prefer the peak design. I do miss the slide a bit, true - but having the camera stay where I put it when I'm walking around is worth it to me. [/QUOTE]
