Balearic sling with a release tab? That is interesting. I like release tabs on my simple paracord slings(except for my super long ones) I think I know what my next balearic sling is gonna be like...
Also like the smiling sling. I have few that are inspired by this design and they are great, they seem to have nice clean release even with that big knot. Maybe I will buy the actual one!

I've ALSO been looking at experimenting with staff slings I have always used staff slings with fairly long slings, almost half the length of the staff, but with a lot of depictions they are really quite short slings so I've been wanting to see what sort of differences come from different length slings. I have the staff sling ready but haven't filmed the video yet.
Kick I really look forward to see the video. I usually use slings half the lenght of the staff(on my automatic release staff slings) as that seems to be the sweetspot for me, shorter releases too early sending the stone behind or high above me and longer too late sending the stone into the ground in front of me. Now that changes with captive release staff slings, because i can put a 170cm superlong sling on the end of a 3ft staff and it will work nicely(this tested today). Now I want to test it with my 150cm(5ft) staff to see what kind of scary ranges I can get...
