Peak Design Leash camerariem

I bought a camera strap that had some pockets for spare batteries and cards, but found it got a bit uncomfortable when wearing it for a while, as it got quite hot around the neck - and was not able to extend as far as I wanted it to. After doing a bit of research online, I finally settled on the Leash from Peak Design - as all of the reviews I had seen were very positive of the product, and after looking at all of the straps available from them and other suppliers - decided that it was the most potential to give me what I was looking for. It is a bit pricy to be honest, but is very, very good quality and extremely comfortable - it is really 3 straps in one, and I found that for my Sony bridge camera, it is absolutely perfect. The connectors are very strong and easy to attach and dismantle, and there are 3 included along with a baseplate so you can but one on each side for wearing the strap over your neck - or one on the side and one on the bottom for wearing it like a sash (my favourite way) - which I was not able to do with my other strap. It is very compact and takes up so much less room that my other strap, or you could just put it in your pocket if you were going to use a different strap.....for any reason that I cant think of at the moment? I would imagine it would not be as comfortable with a large camera (please don't ask me if it will be ok for x camera - as I have no idea on them :)) and one of Peak Design's other products would be better suited - but for me, this is ideal. I am currently considering whether to purchase the hand strap for my small Sony camera as well - but if Peak Designs want to send me one to review - I would be more than happy to do so :) Summary - If you need a new strap for a small/med camera (with 2 anchors) - you could do a lot worse than this - bit pricy, but worth it!!

I originally bought a 'ebay Chinese copy' of this so am already used to the type of strap. However, there is no comparison with regards to the quality difference between the 'copy' and the original. I have no fear of the mounts on the PD version snapping with out warning and the clips feel snug and don't rattle at all (the copy feels a bit 'tinny' and rattles a bit when the mounts are not in them). The strap does fell a bit stiff but I know from experience with the 'copy' that this will soften with use, and the PD strap definitely feels more comfortable (remembering that this is a thin strap so don't expect a 'heavy' camera to be comfortable for long periods, get one of PD's thicker straps for that and you won't be disappointed). The slider adjustments are a bit of a gimmick (most people set the strap and leave it at that length and are happy) but the more I play with it the more I can see me possibly adjusting it on the fly for certain situations, I just wouldn't say that it is a specific selling point that would specifically make me want to buy this strap. With regards to price, it is a bit expensive but you get what you pay for in terms of quality, and Peak Designs are continuously designing new equipment as well as improving their existing range so you have to also take that into account a bit. If 'cheap and cheerful' is what you are after then check ebay for the 'Chinese copy' but it you want something that is going to last and not have any worries about your camera's safety then the PD version is worth getting. I have no doubt that this strap will last for a long time.

Light, well designed and functional. I like the fact that you can use the anchor mounts on different pieces of equipment and swap over very easily. The strap is light and easily slides around your body so you can quickly move the camera into shooting position whilst still being secured to the strap - which is more difficult using a more traditional, wider camera strap. I use it with quite a light/small camera so I can't comment on the use with a larger DSLR Unobtrusive whilst being worn around the body and feels very comfortable. Expensive for what it is but a quality item.

I've used the larger Slide strap for several years on larger DSLR camera's including the Canon 1D Mk4 and Nikon D700 with grip. Found the Slide great for the larger bodies but too large for smaller mirrorless bodies such as the Olympus E-M5. I recently purchased the smaller Leash strap to use on my E-M5 and it is perfect! Even has the base plate included as part of the kit making this very good value for money. Personally I'm a great fan of the quick release aspect of the Peak Design strap system and the Leash strap is every bit as well made as the larger Slide. Buy the Leash for smaller mirrorless or compact bodies. Buy the Slide for larger DSLR bodies.

Very well made quality product, just what I was looking for. The design is practical with good functionality with my Sony A6000, as I don't like the standard strap that came with it. The sling strap is great and easy to wear with great fixing points for multiple adjustments. A bit pricey, but worth it; guess the manufacturer knows this hence charging what they do. A little annoying the packaging creates a few kinks in the strap, but nothing a damp towel and iron did not sort out to get it flat. Great sling, very happy.

Used it for my 14 day trip, zero complaints. Expensive but worth it. Zero tension of getting detached.

Good quality strap. Trust peak design.

Utilisé principalement avec un Panasonic GX8 + zooms 12-60 f3.5-5.6 ou 14-140 (soit environ 800g), moins souvent avec un reflex APS-C Pentax K3 et des zooms 17-70 f4, 18-135 et 55-300 (soit autour de 1400 g). Je transporte mon matériel dans un sac d'épaule fourre-tout, et le sors seulement pour photographier: la Leash est très souple et prend peu de place dans le sac. Le système de fixation Peak Design est très bien conçu, il permet d'accrocher l'appareil de deux manières différentes toutes deux très ergonomiques, et aussi d'enlever très vite cette bandoulière, par exemple pour la remplacer par la dragonne ou d'autres produits Peak Design. Ce que j'apprécie le plus, c'est le système très ergonomique de réglage de la longueur de la bandoulière (voir les vidéos sur le site de Peak Design), qui me permet d'adapter d'un geste la Leash: courte pour un porté classique autour du cou, ou très longue pour le porté en bandoulière pour soulager le cou. Le produit est également très beau, dommage qu'il soit si cher.

Questo è sicuramente il migliore acquisto di un accessorio fotografico che abbia mai fatto. Con questa tracolla si svolta la vita del fotografo amatoriale o professionista che sia. In un attimo smonti tutto e carichi su cavalletto o stabilizzatore gimbal. Materiali eccellenti, rifiniture veramente curate, il prezzo è dunque elevato perché state acquistando un prodotto di indubbia qualità. Con la tracolla escono 4 gancetti rossi peak design che sono veramente molto resistenti e altri accessori per vari agganci. Io posseggo una ML piccolina della lumix, pertanto ho scelto questo modello più sottile e discreto. Sicuramente regge benissimo fino a 1.5kg di attrezzatura senza problemi. In caso di ulteriore peso, consiglio il modello più largo, ma non perché questa non regga, ma per una comodità di utilizzo visto che questa tracolla è strettina. Mi ripeto, il miglior acquisto fotografico di sempre. Provare per credere!

Deze strap voelt en ziet er mooi uit. Zeer sterk en makkelijk te verstellen. Top!
