Peak Design Leash Camera Strap (L-BL-3)

With all of the positive feedback, I was expecting something different.
CONS:
1. Unless you have a small camera, the strap is a little thin as it goes around your neck. The pressure is palpable with my Lumix G9. There's a lot of pressure on the neck, especially because there's no padding.
2. What's the deal with the buckle slides that are made of aluminum? When putting the camera in its bag, you have to be careful not to scratch the body or anything, which I think is a silly feature.
3. What is the price, exactly? Is a strap worth $40?
Pros:
1. It's light and supple without being overpowering. br>2. It's a good length, and it's a little longer than the average bear.
3. You'll look exactly like the guy in the demo photo when you've got the strap on! Fit, hunky, and with perfectly coiffed locks. It's incredible! br>Overall, I believe it is overpriced for what it is. And it isn't all that great for what it is.

The first version of the Peak Design Leash strap was great, but they took away my favorite feature: the ability to change from a single point to a dual point strap quickly This is because the adjustment buckle used to have a hole through which you could attach another anchor, and you could take one end of the strap and detach the anchor from the camera base, then attach it to the other. br>br>This was a fantastic feature because it made the Leash the ideal companion for Peak Design's Capture clips. The strap's single point attachment meant it wouldn't get in the way of attaching a camera to the Capture clip, and it could also serve as a backup if you didn't fully slide the camera into the clip and it fell out. br>br>I'm not sure why this feature was removed. It's nothing more than a small slit in the buckle. They used to promote it by photographing models wearing the strap in a single-handed position. configuration of points Perhaps the single point malfunctioned, causing issues for people? The new quick-adjust straps, on the other hand, are quite nice.

I'd been seeing Peak Design products for a while. I wasn't sure if it would work out. I needed something new after using only a wrist strap and skipping the neck strap. I loved the wrist strap, but I couldn't take my eyes off the camera. br>I'd been wanting a sling for quite some time. I just couldn't make up my mind. I had to watch a few videos to figure out which one would work best for me, and I finally settled on this one after narrowing it down. This is especially true now that the updated anchor mount is smaller. br>I was also wary of the strap's thinness. Is it going to stab me in the shoulder? Is it going to be awkward? But after trying it on, I'm not so sure. After a few hours of wearing it and switching out which contact points on the camera to connect with, I believe I've discovered the best way to carry it - the left and bottom strap mounts Of course, I'll probably change my mind and go with something else the next time. I was not let down in terms of comfort. While the strap is thin, it did not dig into my shoulder, and I didn't feel like the camera's weight was a burden. When compared to the standard neck strap, this is a significant improvement. br>At the time of purchase, I was hoping to get a different color strap, but I was only able to get the black one. I didn't have the luxury of time to order it from B because it was a last-minute purchase for a trip. br>In general, I'm pleased with my choice. It performs admirably. It's very relaxing. In addition, the price is very reasonable.

The Leash camera strap is the simplest to attach and detach, as well as adjust, and it's exactly what I needed in a camera neck strap. br>br>The most important feature for me was the ease of attachment and detachment while maintaining security. Regular plastic click quick releases on neck straps irritate me; it seems like you're practically begging to lose your gear with that type of mechanism. This neck strap's quick release buckles are too small to fail in that way. I really like how thoughtfully the system was designed.

This is a very light strap that I like to wear. Everything from Peak Design is always fantastic. This is a very light strap that I'll be using for smaller items (not a DSLR). Only one star was deducted because it came with "V3" anchors, which are thinner and flimsier than the older V2 or newer V4 anchors. According to the Peak Design website, there have been only seven failures out of 100,000 units sold. Despite this, they are willing to replace them with V4 anchors at no cost and with minimal effort. You simply fill out an online questionnaire, and they won't ask you to return the V3 anchors; instead, they'll send you replacements for however many you claim to have.

Excellent product and design; I like the overall look and how simple it is to set up and connect to the camera(s); I even ordered a second one as a gift. I like the idea of the disk clips because you can easily remove and attach anything to them, and because you can order additional disk clips to use with other photography equipment, which is what I did, so that everything has its own disk clip and all I have to do is change the leash from one product to another and make use of everything I have. (I will most likely order a second one for myself, but I just want to fully use this for at least 6 months to see if it works. ) ) It's very comfortable, smooth and soft, and it's simple to adjust the length as needed. The durability of the disk clips and the cord that connects them will be determined over time. What's nice is that the company recommends replacing the disk clips when the inner Red cord shows through, which I think is a great visual notice. Just wanted to add one last point, the disk clips I mentioned above are actually called Anchor Cords, and if they wear out, which they aren't supposed to, the company will replace the damaged item for free, can't beat that!.
