No me queda muy claro que demonios es el «Peak Design Slide Camera Sling strap» que acaban de analizar hoy los chicos de Dpreview. Creo que es una especie de kit de correa y enganche flexible para cámaras que permite cambiar rápidamente la cámara sin cambiar la correa.
La cosa tiene especificaciones y todo, no os vayáis a creer.
Specifications
- Maximum Length: 145cm/57in
- Minimum Length: 99cm/39in<
- Weight: 171g/6oz
- Width: 45mm/1.8in
- Strength Rating: 200lb (This is the rating for the Dyneema-corded Anchor Link anchors. The 45mm seat belt webbing could probably lift up your car.)
Bueno, sea como sea, entusiasmar, lo que se dice entusiasmar, no les ha entusiasmado demasiado pues la valoración final es de 3 estrellas sobre 5 posibles, lo que es un aprobado más o menos justillo.
Como dejarlo aquí sería un poco soso os copio directamente el apartado conclusiones que incluye los «pros» y «contras» del accesorio en cuestión.
What’s the Bottom Line?
The Peak Design Slide Sling Strap is a well-made, innovative camera strap with a premium price tag. Its construction and materials show quality. The namesake ‘slide’ feature works exceedingly well, the minimal padding and wide strap width tames even heavy DSLR/lens combos and the Anchor Link connectors are a clever and quick way to install and remove a strap.
However, for all the good points about the Slide, the fear that the aluminum quick adjustment handles will scratch or chip expensive equipment is a significant drawback. This is particularly true for those of us who tend to work out of a bag more often than we carry a camera around our shoulder or neck. If you are in that boat and want a strap that still offers many (though not all) of the Slide’s features, it might be worth checking out the Peak Leash strap.
What we like:
- Ease of length adjustment, even one handed
- Innovative hidden non-bulky padding
- Wide enough to be comfortable
- Easily installed/removable, can use on multiple cameras
- Versatile attachment system
- Material is soft and flexible
- Arca-Swiss style tripod plate attachment
What we don’t like:
- Stiffness of padding makes it difficult to put in bag
- Metal adjustment buckles can bang against camera/gear in bag (feo, feo)
- Most would consider it expensive for a camera strap
