Hey everyone, Michael Duh here with photopxl.com and today we're going to be looking at the Cotton Carrier Sling Belt and Bucket Carrying System. The biggest benefit to all the Cotton Carrier systems is having quick, easy access to your camera while out in location. I found that when going out of photo walk or a short hike, I don't always want or need my giant camera back. Right now I have my Canon 5D Mark IV, a 70-200mm lens and a 24-70 lens. It's actually a pretty heavy load for this system, especially if I had to grip on my camera, which I do have most of the time. This will tend to sag a little bit, but again it's totally capable of carrying that load. Having the camera on the right side and the bucket on my left side really distributes the weight nicely on my hips, freeing up my neck and shoulders. All the straps are adjustable and the Velcro pad keeps things from moving around. The Sling Belt is available for $89 at Cotton Carrier.com and includes the patented Twist and Lock mounting hardware and Sling Tether. The bucket is an add-on and that costs $49 and you can also get these dry bags which are really nice for added layer of protection from the elements. One of the biggest benefits of these dry bags is they actually are designed specifically for this bucket. You can drop your lens in, fold it around, prevent the water from getting in. And this obviously clips together and then you actually clip into the bag itself. Just super nice. Now that's not going to come out and you can even tighten this up as well. You're good to go. One thing that's a little odd in the field is actually switching your lenses because typically there's nothing to layer lens down on or anything like that. So actually it's another reason why I like having the dry bag. You can take the dry bag out of your bucket, toss it on the ground and then just kind of swap your lens like this. If you only needed one lens you can simply detach the bucket for a lighter load or use it for something like an external flash or water bottle. Even though the bucket is detachable, these Velcro straps really hold it in place and it's not going to move around or come off or anyway. They're very, actually you can tell, they're very strong. One thing I do want to note is if you're accustomed to having neck straps, I highly recommend using the tether strap here as an added layer of protection. It sometimes takes some mental adjusting to use the holster. If you have been using neck straps for a long time, you might have a tendency to just let go of your camera. And this tether strap is not designed to carry the full weight. It's mainly just a safety precaution. This strap tends to rotate around. It is designed obviously for this portion to sit on your shoulder and it is more comfortable that way. I want to actually look into if I am doing something wrong to keep it from doing that. I know that there's a couple of adjustment straps here. I'll have to look closer at that. Again, it's not a big deal, it's not designed to carry the weight of the camera but it just looks nicer and it's more comfortable when it's on there properly. Because it comes with that awesome print. It sure doesn't. I should sell them on my website or something. Overall I like the comfort and ease this system provides. The product is built very well and I like having this as an option for simply going out and taking some photos.
