A strap on a camera is a bit of a problem for me – I obviously need to be able to carry the camera when I’m not actually using it, but straps do tend to get in the way when you’re working, I find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op\/Tech<\/strong> an American company, make an excellent strap, the Mirrorless Strap<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 40 cm strap, roughly 4cm wide with a non slip interior – this clips onto the long adjustable camera connectors (shown in the image above) so ideally you can detach the camera from the strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but…this still leaves the long connecters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peak Design came up with a very neat (and small) system for attaching things to cameras that they call Rapid Anchor links – these consist of a thin cord which fits through the D-rings on the camera, and a round plastic button which clips into the Peak Design camera straps. When these are fitted to the camera they are virtually invisible and don’t get in the way while using the camera. They also resist a weight of 90kg apparently…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Great – so now, how do we put the two together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple – with these…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These are simply straps with the correct size snap links for the shoulder strap, and open ended flat braids which are the right size for the last item needed – the Peak Design Anchors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flat braided strap passes through the top of the connector, and the round buttons clip into the lower half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I can have a comfortable strap when I need one, and virtually nothing attached to the camera when I need that – simple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
