I cannot recommend this strap enough. I bought the Slide (regular) and loved it immediately. I use a Nikon D3300, which is a pretty small DSLR, so it was a bit too big for me, though; I returned it and got a Slide Lite, as I knew I wanted some variant of it. That said, I do have a Sigma 18-35 lens, which is heavier than the camera itself at almost 2lbs. The Slide Lite is absolutely perfect for this combo, and is very comfortable. I've been using it for about 6 months and have found it to be super durable, easy to put on/take off, and it really distributes the weight of that lens well. The quick release system is also fantastic for when I want to switch how I wear the strap, or store it somewhere that won't fit with it attached. I generally keep it like a sling, but have occasionally used it as a traditional around-the-neck strap. And the slide system, of course, is superb. Just flip the metal latch and you can adjust the length of either side.
One thing I want to caution is that the base plate of this will be a bit annoying if you don't have an Arca swiss/QR tripod. I had to remove the plate whenever I wanted to use my tripod, and ultimately ended up spending money on an Arca head.
If you shoot on an entry-level DSLR, I'd say to go with the Slide Lite vs. the Slide. Even though it's marketed for Mirrorless, it is a perfect fit for the entry-level DSLRs. I hope to some day pick up the capture clip too, since I've been so impressed by this product and their Everyday Backpack.
