Quick Answer
The Peak Design Leash is a versatile quick-connecting camera strap that adapts to your shooting style, working as a sling, neck strap, safety tether, or video stabilizer. Here are the answers to the most common questions about using it.
Why the Leash Stands Out
The Leash's quick-connecting system is its defining feature, letting you attach or detach the strap from your camera in seconds. This is especially handy when switching between handheld and strapped shooting, or when using a tripod.
Its versatility means you don't need separate straps for different situations. One Leash can serve as a sling for walking, a neck strap for quick access, or a safety tether when shooting near water or heights.
Peak Design Leash FAQ
How do I attach the Leash to my camera?
Use the included Peak Design anchor links. Attach the anchors to your camera's strap lugs, then clip the Leash's quick-connectors onto the anchors. The system clicks securely into place and releases with a simple squeeze.
Can I use the Leash as a sling strap?
Yes. Adjust the strap length so the camera sits at your side or hip. The quick-connectors allow you to easily slide the strap across your body. For a sling setup, keep the strap long enough to go over your head and one shoulder. Practice adjusting the length with one hand while the camera is attached to get a comfortable fit.
Is the Leash compatible with mirrorless cameras?
Yes. The Leash works with any camera that has standard strap lugs, including most mirrorless models. The anchor links are small enough to fit typical lugs, and the strap's low profile suits compact mirrorless bodies. Check that your camera has strap lugs; some very small cameras may lack them.
Can I use the Leash as a safety tether?
Yes. The Leash can be used as a safety tether to prevent accidental drops. Attach one end to your camera and the other to a secure point like a belt loop or a bag strap. The quick-connectors make it easy to detach when needed. For maximum security, use a dedicated tether system if you're doing extreme activities.
How do I convert the Leash between sling and neck strap?
Adjust the length by pulling the adjuster tabs on the strap. For a neck strap, shorten it so the camera sits at chest height. For a sling, lengthen it so the camera hangs at your side. The quick-connectors let you switch styles in seconds.
What is the maximum weight the Leash can support?
Peak Design does not specify a maximum weight limit for the Leash. However, it is designed for standard camera and lens combinations. For heavy telephoto lenses, consider a wider strap for better weight distribution. If you're using a large lens, test the strap's comfort and security before relying on it.
