Hi All, I've following this forum for a while, and really enjoying the posts here. I've been an X-T1 user for about 18 months now, started off with a couple of primes and have now also got the 16-55 2.8 (which i love). I typically just hold my camera, and have a DSPTCH wrist strap (here). One of the reasons I got the 16-55 was because its great for taking pictures of my son, where changing lenses would have me miss a shot (or miss him jumping off something!). As such, the wrist strap isn't really doing it for me anymore, and I'd like to get a sling strap as well. I've been looking through the many posts on this sub, and so I think I'd like something like a blackrapid sling which clips in via the tripod mount, as it keeps the strap clear of my hands, and has minimal extra stuff hanging off the camera. I appreciate though, that something like the peak design slide might be cool, as the camera might sit a little better against the body? Does anyone have any comparisons between the 2? I don't particularly want to have little anchors hanging off the camera, and I'm concerned that the plate may block the battery door? Thoughts appreciated! Thanks, Chris
