This was a surprise. I was checking out Canon accessories and spotted this. I've been using mostly the Slide and the Lite for small lenses for about 8 years and I didn't know this. Must be pretty recent. Canon would have to be pretty confident to endorse that company which still appears to be independent. I've never had a single issue. I changed the anchors after about 5 years even though they showed no wear.

Nice! I have that strap - used it yesterday - and I also have a Lite. I have two anchors on the R7, two on the EF300, and three on the R3. Really good products.

About 8 years ago while in Europe I lost a heavy duty strap. The area we stayed in had stores like Best Buy that didn't carry high end straps. There was the language barrier as well. A fellow that worked at one of those electronics stores told me about a pro store which was about 1 ½ drive. It was a small place and and all they carried were PD. I was skeptical but had no choice so I bought the Slide.

I got back to where we were stying and did some research. It came with Version 3 anchors and PD was transitioning to V4 which had thicker cables. I went back and purchased some V4 anchors. We could have discussed it in the store when I bought the Sling but no one spoke English. After a few days with the new strap I never looked back. I love the system.

I forgot to say what was most important thing. I checked recently and 8 years later PD is still using V4 Anchors. Obviously a proven and solid design.

I've been using PD straps for years and have never had an issue with the anchors, even the older versions that PD cautioned against and redesigned. I must admit that the R5 is the first camera without a lug/split ring connector and I was dubious about the PD anchor chafing on the Canon strap mount, but over 5 years of use there are no signs of wear.
