Our 5 Favorite Photo Gadgets & Gizmos: Great Last Minute Gift Ideas

BosStrap Sliding Sling Straps: BosStrap added two new straps to their line of Sliding Sling Straps.  The new straps use the same diagonal body straps and sliders used on the Generation 3 products, retaining all the comfortable, safe, and smooth operation features.  The new BosStrap Sliding Sling Strap with a Side Release Tail is different since it uses a Side Release Buckle to release the camera from the diagonal strap. The Side Release can be operated with one hand, even a gloved hand. The Side Release buckle, rated at 60 pounds, is entirely made in the USA. Like other BosStrap Sling Straps, the new straps are available in two widths: 1-1/2” and 1” wide straps.  The 1-1/2” wide strap is used for DSLR cameras, while the narrower strap is ideal for lighter cameras. The 1-1/2” BosStrap Sliding Sling Strap with Side Release Tail is $53.95, while the 1” version is $52.95 (both include free shipping). Current owners of BosStrap Sliding Sling Straps can purchase a Conversion Kit for either size diagonal strap.  Use the code SRTDiscount to save $4.95 on the Conversion Kit.
