Great review. Re the magnet to hold the strap together, you might look around RU-vid for something like "Peak Design strap hack" because there's a good explanation of how you can use an extra PD anchor to turn the PD strap into a sling (basically attach an anchor to one end of the strap, then connect that anchor to the other end of the strap). This turns out to be a great idea, imo, and means you can connect to the PD strap with only one anchor on the camera (since the strap is now a loop). Arguably not as clean as the magnet design, but has some advantages too.
Hey, great video, thank you for the useful information. I’m just wondering something, you showed the thickness between the Ulanzi and PGYTech, but how about the Peak design and PGYTech? Which is thicker? I’d appreciate your answer, thank you
Hey thanks for watching! So the neck portion PGY tech has way more padding so it’s thicker in that sense as well as wider. The actually strap portion is about the same as peak design maybe very tiny bit thinner. Difference is super minor that you can barely tell.
Which one of the on camera quick release less likely to make the dangling sound when handheld shooting video or put on gimbal without the need to take it off. That is my main concern.
Dangling sound comes from the buttons. All straps have the button it is unavoidable really. One thing you can do is either hold it tight against your neck to stretch the strap or wrap it around your wrist. If mounting on tripod then take it off
I did email their customer support to ask if it should have had one or if there is a different version available with the magnet but they didn't reply.
Apparently PGYtech support said they took out the magnet because it interfered with camera operations… didn’t for me at all and I used Sony, Nikon and Ricoh and Leica at some point.
@@ToasterVentura i read on a few forums that if the magnets touched the camera screen, it causes it go to crazy (as magnets often do with screens). probably not enough to damage it, but enough to cause some people to be concerned
