It never ceases to amaze me when a small unknown company comes up with a new take on a product genre and really knocks it out of the park. What is even more interesting is when the funding for a company’s entire product line comes from the community. Such is the case with CustomSLR. The C-Loop was the first product launched in Dec 2010 and received 4x the funding they were asking for. The CustomSLR guys leveraged this success into the Split Strap which received a whopping 5x what they asked for. The third component of the complete system is the M-Plate which was funded in December of 2011 at double their asking amount. Even one successful project off of Kickstarter is pretty good but three is pretty much unheard of. If I had to take a guess at why they have done so well with their products I would have to say its because they have really thought through the issues that photographers face on a daily basis and created highly effective and yet simple ways to solve those problems.
