Re: Carry Speed (CS-PRO) - Excellent with possible improvements
In reply to dresner, May 28, 2012

I have been looking at all variations of the sling style straps and the CS-Pro is one of the top ones on my list, which included the M-plate and C-loop combo.

Met Tim when he came up for a local show selling his strap. Saw the actual product and decided to go ahead. Good product so far, especially for the price.

Here are the possible improvements:

  • Add rubble lining to metal plate/camera contact. Mine kept twisting until I cut and fitted a soft plastic card between the plate and camera.

  • Need to have better manufacturing precision for all the 1/4"-20 parts and the base plate. It took more effort than I expected to attach plate to camera, and to attach my QR plate and the provided secondary strap to the base plate, although eventually, everything fitted. (I am using the strap for carrying long lenses as a safety/secondary attachment for now).

Hope this helps.
