As always this video is clear and concise. Just what is needed when other sources of information on the Slyde are hard to find. Thanks.
3:15 After you have tied the figure eight to the harness coupler, you should slide the Kong Slyde down to the coupler to use it as an absorber. It's not clear from the movie;) and someone might want to use it in an extended state. Regards, Dan.
This comes in clutch as I have just ordered a kong slyde. Needed an adjustable sling but didn't want to spend 50€ on the Petzl dual connect

Cool, hope you get on ok with it! Have fun climbing
The king Kisa and the slyde. A refresher on the set up is needed for me, since it has been a year since I have used these. Stopping distance (as I recall on the Kisa) was dramatically shorter when the rope was wet. Newtons law is essential to using these.
Could you have it setup the opposite way with the kong attached to your harness ? That way it would always be with in reach.

Yeah, the device would work functionally and lock in the same way. Being able to adjust the length of the lanyard with one hand (while holding on to the rock) to the perfect length for the attachment (bolt for example) that you're reaching for works nicely though. I think, in your suggested set up we'd have to use two hands to lengthen the lanyard length. Might be a pain.

@@sam_farns_climbing Just to add to this, I use it on the bolt end like shown in the video. But with the leaflet that comes with the slyde, it does show it attached directly to the harness. You would need 2 carabiners for this tho.

could you put a loop in the middle for rappel device?

You sure could! But when rappeling id rather keep my lanyard free to clip in to the next anchor and set up a separate extension for the rappel device. The length on this lanyard wouldn't be long enough as well I think. And if you did make it long enough it would then be annoying in 90% of the situations you want it for!
can be use as top rope anchor system replace the sling?

No, that wouldnt be a recommended replacement for a sling... ...i'm sure you could figure something out but it'd be pretty 'non standard'. Good luck!
