The cheap sling from my S70 worked just dandy with my GT. The strap does not need to be fancy. The S70 sling can not be worth more then a few dollars.

I also intend to use one of my S70 or S70S slings :+1:

There are no down payments to make.

Coyotehawk will add you to the list when he does his next update. It will be early January when you will get a PM (personal message) and e-mail giving you all the details of where to go and how to pay.

Welcome to BLF.

Slide Camera Strap | Peak Design Official Site

High quality sling with screw mount. Peak design’s slings are also very easy to deattach when not needed. I use mine with my DSLR and I plan to use it with my GT too

Juusto, thanks for the link to Peak Design!! I was not familiar with the company but have had time to check out their offerings. They do have some very innovative & user friendly products.

I had to have one in fact…… ….

I’ll probably use it on the GT from time to time since it is so easy & quick to change from item to item.

But camera & a couple of more optics is where it will shine for me.

Well made & quality item for sure. Well thought out…. as are their other products!!

Thank you again for the introduction to Peak……

FWIW the rule of thumb for doing cobra weave with paracord is 1 foot of cord for each inch of the final product. So a 28” strap will require about 280 feet of paracord.

I’ve done hundreds of bracelets and lanyards over the years. Piece of cake. But how do you handle the excessively long pieces of paracord when making extremely long objects like a sling, dog leash, etc?

Anytime I’m doing anything with Paracord that involves long lengths I take the long ends and wrap them up and put a rubber band around them and then take the entire wrap and weave that, I’m bad at explaining this but it works extremely well so you’re not having to feed 20 feet of Paracord through each loop/knot that you make

[xCentrino]

Why I not think of the rubber band trick a few years back :person_facepalming:

Anyways good news, I remember I have a strap laying around from my tail bag. May still consider doing a paracord project, since I have a good amount laying around.

I’m sorry if this has been covered, and I’m not in any rush, just curious. What’s the shipping and handling time to the U.S. once paid? Thanks.

I see you are in the US, but have opted for registered mail. Is this correct? Once the light ships out, it may take 2 or 3 weeks through registered mail.

Texas_Ace suggested all US members to go with DHL because it is the same price and much quicker.

Let us know if your mail option is what you requested.

I wasn’t sure about customs, so I chose registered mail. If it can be changed, I would happy with DHL. Thanks

Can I please switch to DHL? I wanted to avoid any taxes, but it looks like the price is low enough we won’t be taxed.

Thank you.

I’ll tell you what I told Jkatalik4.

What I would do is reply to Neal’s earlier email asking for your phone number, but change the title to “Shipping Change to DHL!”.

This way he has all your info already.

It may be too late for him to change it though, since he’s already left and Lumintop will start shipping them real soon. If Neal gets back before your light is shipped, then he might be able to switch it in time.

Thanks.
