The aspect of the Peak Design strap that I like the most is the line of rubber dots on one side of the strap. I usually hang my camera from one shoulder and they have completely eliminated my worries about the strap sliding off that shoulder.
@mikesphotography
@mikesphotography 3 года назад
That is definitely a good design feature. It makes it much more secure when slinging it over one shoulder. 😁👍

Great video!! I use a sling strap. So much more comfortable than the standard strap, although I do find I have to hold the camera with my hand if I’m walking between shoots. It tends to swing around and being an old A700, there’s a lot of camera to swing about! My daughter has the same style, but the fixing plate has a tripod thread built into it so the fixing point isn’t blocked off.

it's Sep 2023 I currently have Peak Design Micro Clutch L bracket. I like using a hand strap as it allows me quick access to the camera. Pros: Fits me well, once I locked the strap in place it was easy to get my hand in and out, I secured the strap with gorilla tape, string, double security, just in case. You can attach a strap to the tripod mount for extra security. I guess this is for comfort. The strap has holes for adjustment. Cons: The L bracket blocks the battery. The strap does not lock in place it rotates towards the lens, so I had to secure it with gorilla tape, later I added string too, for double security, The tape was wrapped around the L bracket, not just at the bottom, that will peel off, so having it between the camera body and the bracket keeps it secure.

I love the peak design capture clip on my backpack. I use it constantly so I can be hands free, and shoot quickly when I want. But I recently switched to a sling bag instead of a backpack, to go a little lighter. And now I'm trying to figure out a solution, because the capture clip isn't going to work. I was thinking the sling strap might be the best alternative. What do you think?
@SMGJohn

Just look at photographers of the past and what they used, notice how paparazzi started wearing military style pouches and slings for their cameras and their big telephoto lenses, its ironic but its also worth taking a note that while the camera is not a gun, it still weights a lot and you still need to be able to point it at things so the same principles are there, the Y strap makes the most sense for the avg user, the regular shoulder strap its good for smaller cameras like you said.

I do a hybrid. RRS / ProMediaGear L arca swiss bracket with BlackRapid strap and QD connector. QD’s are extremely strong, reliable, positive reinforcement. Easy to add onto any other design. QD receivers are often built into the L brackets themselves. Using blackrapid strap allows me to easily pop on/off for landscapes when hiking, astrophoto, scramble over rocky surfaces and ensure strap isnt too long to hit the lens.

Welp, seems like I'm going to continue using a shoulder strap, which I first experienced when I borrowed my dad's DSLR. Although the clip is interesting, I often need to put my bag down, or maybe I need to grab something really quick, and honestly feel far too paranoid if it isn't securely attached to me.
@conormalinois
@conormalinois 10 месяцев назад
I don't use any of the above, and I've tried almost everything. Since I combine photography and video, the strap just bothers me. Blackrapid seemed like a good option to me, but in the end I realized that when walking, the camera scratches on my pants, moves too much, it's uncomfortable and the constant twisting and turning is irritating. It is best to carry the camera in the hand without any strap.
@bnkrazie
@bnkrazie 3 месяца назад
For Blackrapid straps, if you use Manfrotto with a PL-200 quick release plate then you could keep the quick release plate on the camera and attach the strap from the screw on the plate. That's what I do. I don't use the supplied screw mount on my cameras with the exceptions of cameras I don't use with tripods.

I use mine with the 50-400mm on the a7iv all the time and have no worries at all.

My favourite way of using the peak design straps is one on the side and one on the bottom, it gets the strap out of my sight when looking through the view finder and there isn’t too much material on the bottom. Also it allows the lens to lie perfectly against ur body with the side ready to shoot.

Hi Mike. I have been a Peak Design user for a few years. I have the Slide strap, which is excellent, along with the hand strap too. Add to that the Clip that attaches to the backpack and I believe that I have the best of all worlds. Years ago I tried the Black Rapid (?) sliding strap and it seemed to work fine but, after a 10 mile walk, I discovered that the bracket that attached the camera to the strap had tiny metal filings around the swivel. Something was wearing and I was not keen to have metal filings getting into my sensor. Thus having bought most straps on the market I was very pleased to find Peak Design. Not the cheapest but, so far, the best that I tried. An additional tick on Peak Design’s service: my original Slide strap exhibited a failure, in that the rubberised shoulder pad coating was becoming tacky. I contacted PD and a new strap was immediately mailed to me, no questions asked (apart from asking for my address, of course).

Shoulder strap is what most professionals I've seen use, in the last 30 years. When they use dual camera, they use that two camera harness where both cameras hang on the sides. The only reason I use a neck strap, is for stability...that's it; otherwise, I don't use neck straps or wrist straps.

Once you get used to the quick length adjustment catches the PD sling is great with big lenses like the 200-600. You can quickly lengthen it to shoot and pull it up shorter as you walk around so it does not flap around your hip. For smaller lenses I use a capture on my bag and one on my belt in conjunction with the PD wrist strap when shooting. With the two captures I never have to put my camera on the ground or resting on top of my bag. The one on the hip/belt is great for changing lenses. Thanks for the video Mike.

And long enough to wear cross shoulder with out risking strangulation; why are oem brand straps so short?. Paracord, diy your own wrist loop. Shoulder strap, the Sun Sniper steel core lets the runner slide up the strap without lifting it, unlike the cheap ones. Yes they cost more but available used.

Hi Mike. I've had my Z6ii for two years, and I'm disppointed with the thin Nikon strap that came with it, it gets in the way when I'm shooting and I can't take it off, and it always gets twisted. So I did some research and was just about to buy a Peak Design Slide, - and then I saw your video with one or two downsides. I suppose every system has a downside. I often wonder what would happen if the camera manufacturers, and strap makers, and accessory makers got together in one room, could they come up with an entirely new form factor that allowed for tripods, batteries, flippy screens, atmos ninjas and sound, video cages etc etc.

It's really easy to put camera inside and pull out if you put in inside sideways (so that grip of the camera is above). And that pouch is like a sling. Very happy with that setup.

Avoid hand straps! Why? Your hand will be contorted to access your camera controls. Unless the hand strap is quite tight, your camera will still have a good chance of falling to its demise. Use a pure WRIST strap, which is a cuff you wear around your wrist, NOT your hand. Alltura has one for about $10 dollars. Peak Design has one for 3x more the cost. Both of these models are quick disconnect, with the Peak Design being more elegant and practical, in my opinion.

I really like the shoulder strap idea. I have ordered one that has a small strap that keeps the pad in place

Mike, finally someone who addresses the one bug bear I find with all these alternatives to the supplied strap - access to the battery & tripod mount. Many tks for some great solutions to try out.

Thorough and balanced overview, Mike!👍 (Fresh air setting, a plus, despite noisy birds.) I tried lots of different straps; ergo is so personal and every design has flaws and boons. Mftr supplied straps are not only skimpy, they turn you into a walking billboard for the brand. I like Peak Design’s line but find the loops tend to twist too much. Hand straps are OK for lightweight rigs - even when you’ve got to “scratch somewhere”.😁 Settled on a DIY combo: small double (key) clip caribiners (about 1 inch long, 1/2 inch wide) - from HW store - stay on cam; neoprene based (easy on neck) generic strap to which I attach a small key ring (about 1/2 inch diam) at each end. Key rings live on strap, but attach to caribiners on cam. Quick attach-detach, secure, quiet. And I can attach a handstrap rigged the same way as the neoprene strap. Breath in .....

How about camera with large lenses like 70-200mm. where do you attached the strap? at the lens tripod mount?
@mikesphotography
@mikesphotography 3 года назад
When using a 70-200mm or a 100-400mm, on the shoulder sling, I tend to make it shorter and attach it to the camera tripod mount. This means then it sits in a vertical position instead of sitting flat wehen attached at the tripod collar mount. THis is personal preference though and you need to see what feels right for you.

Great overview of the strap options, Mike. I use the Peak Design strap and also the capture clip. I I wish I could use the Capture Clip with just the L-bracket and not have to put the mount on, but it is still a great system. Cheers and thanks for the outtakes. Be well, brother.
@mikesphotography
@mikesphotography 3 года назад
Definitely, that is the one annoying thing about the capture clip...what would be good is if Peak Design made an L-bracket with this built in. Thanks dude, I decided to put the outtakes at the end of this one! 😆😆

Thank you Mike for this video. I'm using the capture clip but I also want a good strap. Your video helps a lot to make a choice. @stephenwoodburn2970 I'm using a universal L-bracket from 3-legged thing. They come with a peak design plate build on it which is compatible with the capture clip.

Hi, Mike....i carry my a7III with a wide leather strap but when walking i attach it with a capture clip to my bag strap. I don't like to give camera hanging on the side beacouse it"s easy to damage it with knocks on doors or columns.

I've tried many kind of straps including those shown in the video but my favorite by far is the Peak Design Cuff wrist strap along with a very small shoulder bag. It takes very little room and it's very easy to detach the camera from my hand when I don't need it so I can store it in my shoulder bag.

I'm trying to get the best of both world with my new a6700 setup, here's what I managed to do for now. I added a SmallRig plate to the camera the enhance the ergonomic, I attached a PD Capture plate to it to be able to clip the camera to a backpack. I attached a PD Cuff (I find it light and it gets out of the way more than the Clutch). Then I wanted to be able to put on my BR Sling but there was no place left to screw the BR loop so I noticed that on the SR plate there is a QD anchor, so I got a QD D loop!, a quick way to attach the Sling without the need to remove anything. So there it is! I'm pretty sure I found the best setup for me that won't require any removal when switching from PD Cuff to PD Capture to BR Sling! Anyway thanks for that video, you convinced me to keep my good old BR Sling instead of going full-on PeakDesign.
