I wish every company did product videos like Peak Design. They are incredibly informative and helpful in explaining all of the features. But also, they do an incredible job selling the gear and making the benefits obvious.

Another really good instruction video with the right dose of humor and explained in a slow and detailed way - ideal for training.

I've used one since the day they came out...as a binocular strap. Lets me hang the bins low and out of the way on my hip in crossbody. Very comfortable.

While it's true you can't push the anchor through a Fuji X-T3 eyelet, you can pull it through with a piece of dental floss or similar wire of some kind. No need for split rings. More elegant solution.

You are the best guys!, your ideas are really helpful you have a lifetime client here, I don't need anymore.

Have a quite compact camera, so I got the new leash and cuff. The pair works perfectly!

[larsanderson]

I have both the Leash and Cuff. I love them both.

I've been using my leash for almost two years now and I'm super happy with it, so much better than the standard Fuji strap. However, I could easily insert the anchors in my X-T10's eyelets.

I bought a Peak Design Slide Lite and the product quality is top notch. Little tip as it took me a while to work out, its a little counter intuitive. When putting the camera on the sling setup the lens should point towards your body.

[jonahbron]

Didn't realize I could connect it to the tripod bracket, that's a great tip.

The old Leash allowed for a single mount point, making it into a proper sling strap. If you could reintroduce that feature in a revision or fully dedicate that single mount point concept into a new Leash sized strap that would be my instant go-to option. Call it the Slick, since Sling and Slide are already taken.

That sling flip forward action and "when you're ready to shoot" statement made me have Army dry practice drill flashbacks lol

Just got my second one today to hold my Sony A7IV. More anchors for me!!

[ausiu]

Excellent demo of right product have now ordered one of your straps. thanks

[AmbientFocusAudio]

Got one today, spent the entirety of my one hour bus ride home messing about with the anchors and trying to work out how sling carry works, and getting quite frustrated when I couldn't lift the camera to my face comfortably. Just as I was about to get off I pictured this video in my mind and realised he had his camera to the right... duh.

Ace bit of kit, loving it as much as I imagined I would. Will probably get another for my second camera! Just wish I could afford a Capture too...

Great video, awesome camera strap. The big question is: how the hell do you open those splitter rings....and why isn’t there a small tool included in the package to help you do that...?!

[therealbonj]

I would love it if you could design one that permits lens-pointing-down sling style carry, but gets round the main objection I have with arca swiss plates which is that you can’t rest the camera flat on a flat surface very well.
You also need a tiny bit of extra hardware on the tripod but that is less of a concern.

[eskisaridolmus]

Looks great. But how do I connect a Leash to a common tripod, like Manfrotto?

[RobboElRobbo]

best camera strap, although i wish the bottom button was able to be removed without an allan key. on fuji cameras you have to remove it to replace the battery, so you always have to remember to carry this tool.
