Peak Design Leash Camera Strap

Using this with my X100V, and it’s basically the ideal strap for how I shoot. It’s small and flat, which makes it super comfortable around the neck or worn as a cross-body sling—doesn’t dig in, doesn’t bulk up the setup. And like all things Peak Design: it's well-built.Adjustment is stupid easy with the thumb loops on each side. I can shift the camera to my back if I’m biking or moving around a lot, then slide it forward just as easily when I’m ready to shoot.But the real MVP is the Anchor Link system. I bought the X100V as a walkaround camera, and let’s be honest—sometimes you just don’t want a strap hanging off it. With this, I can pop the strap off in seconds, toss it in a pocket, and the camera’s clean and unencumbered. When I’m ready to move again, it snaps back on just as fast. Couldn’t be simpler.Best of all it just looks nice. I wanted a strap that fit the retro theme of the X100V, and I think the silver strap with touch of "leather" fits the bill. It looks timeless.If you like flexibility and minimalism, this is the strap.

My husband is crazy about this thing. I can't get it off this neck. It's too bright for me .

This is the best camera strap I have ever tried and is an immediate recommendation from me. Firstly, this camera strap is small and made from quality material. The strap is most similar to that of a car seat belt but because of it's compact design, it is surprisingly very comfortable to wear. The strap also has loops on the sides to easily adjust the height of the strap which is much better than the regular stock straps your camera comes with. Secondly, this strap has what Peak Design calls their "Anchor Link System" and it is an absolute game changer. They are quick release straps that enable you to easily take off the strap for easy storage or use while taking pictures. The main issue with regular straps is that the tend to get in the way when you want to take a portrait shot with your camera but with this strap, you can easily detach the anchor and easily attach it later. They even include 2 more anchors and another item to screw into the bottom of the camera to attach another anchor point so you can wear the camera across the body (which is my preferred way to wear this strap). Lastly, this strap has made me want to take my camera out more often. It's great design, quick release, and the portability make this strap truly a must have item. Just buy it!

I purchased this because I have young kids and primarily use my phone to take pictures of them. Parents all know that you need your hands free at the drop of a second. My wife makes fun of me because she thinks it's silly but I still rock it. With cell phones ranging upwards of $1500, I really didn't want to lose or drop it, especially on a boat. When the kids insist on using my phone to take a picture, it also helps to have it secured around their neck.The leash is well designed and very comfortable. Long enough that I can wear it in front, side or under a jacket. When I first got the item, I was disappointed at the anchor wires because they were too thick to work with my phone case. After researching a bit, I found that these are version 4's. It looks like the previous versions after wear and tear had a tendency to break depending on where it was being anchored to. Some metal anchor points on cameras could be unfinished and sharp which after some time of rubbing, they would fail.I emailed their support and found that the pervious V3 versions were thinner so I purchased a set from them and they work wonderfully. It does not bulge when I put my phone in the case and feels secure. Keep in mind that I'm using a silicon/rubber case. I couldn't be happier and this would be my go to for traveling in the future.I also bought an additional phone case. For my day to day, I would use the case without the anchors and when needed, I'd just switch the case. That was much easier than to take the anchors out every time. I didn't like the anchors dangling if I wasn't using the leash.There are other brands of lanyards and leashes, but I felt the most secure with this one. The beauty of it is that I can just about use it on anything now that I have plenty of anchors.

On the pricier side but this strap is amazing. I primarily shoot without a strap but having an option to click on in on demand is a life saver especially with a four kilogram camera. I do a lot of handheld work so anything to make my life a little easier is a win in my book. I'm only giving it a four star review because of the price and because the small pin parts that remain on my camera appear to be fraying from consistent usage and rubbing against my camera. I may update my review if the cables on the pin pieces do tear. When people see the little red circles, they always ask about PD. It's like a status symbol.
