It’s the strongest anchor point on your camera apart from the lens mount. Just screw it tight and make sure there are as few points of failure as possible. Don’t squat down quickly or you can say bye bye to the front element of your telephoto lens, happens to people with akimbo slings who forgot they had another camera dangling.

Thank you for the thread because I'm dealing with this now, my camera and lens together are ~5.5 lbs. / 2.5kg. and this is too cumbersome for a neck strap. I don't plan to walk around and not be holding the camera so I'd like a wrist strap, does that make sense? Really just for drop insurance. Could anyone pls suggest a strap for that hweight?

It will only set you back $30.

Compare that to a small strap that PeakDesign sells. You'll realize you're getting scammed.

Plus with the chest rig, everyone will know you are a professional photographer.

I use dsptch's standard and large camera strap. I like them because I can put the quick release connectors on all my cameras and then just move the strap to whatever I'm using. And they're simple and small, not like the big branded peak design quick release connectors. I also don't want a peak design strap because they are literally made of seatbelt material and that's awful.

yah but they might care about how i bought a $5 PD sling knockoff from ebay.

there's no reason to buy peak. they're just generic chinese goods with an added pricetag for a youtuber-shilled brand name.

This frightens and confuses the people who fell for the PD meme
Literally every strap is made in china and the exact same factories sell unbranded versions and slightly modified runs to local resellers. It's so prolific amazon accidentally sold a PD bag under their own brand name.

It's so prolific that a lot of fake gibsons are literally epiphones but half off. You can take them apart and marvel at how even the neck joint and glue work is the exact same and sometimes they forget to leave the QC step markings out.

I strongly dislike the presence of a QR mechanism of straps. A lot of the time, I just don't use one, or want to switch to a wrist strap.

i also hate quick releases on straps. was shooting a PACKED event, wearing my kit diagonally and someone, probably a nigger or a nigglet, unclipped the buckle at my back. fortunately i was cradling the kit in my hand otherwise ciao fucking 9000 bucks worth of kit

I usually don't go strapless. If I want a wrist strap, I just wrap the normal strap around my wrist several times. However, I get your point and in that case, the Domke isn't for you. My personal preference for it is mainly based on the swivels, as I hate having to untangle my strap.

>>4197243
9K? I hope you're talking of Pesos. Otherwise, having someone unclipping your strap, doesn't match any event I'd take my 9K setup to.

None whatsoever. I don't need a strap when I shoot a gun either. Learn to hold a camera with your bare hands ffs.

you know, lots of countries have guns. some of them even have recreational machine gun ownership. they don't have any problems so you never hear about how many guns they have. also, their governments curiously take pretty good care of their people.

The PD style QDs are a lot harder to undo. Buckles, however, pinch and go. Regardless, savvy thieves will use a very sharp knife. Literally just buy a $10 diamond puck or fresh out of the box carbon steel mora and you can quickly cut through any fabric strap, including kevlar. Rubber traction parts and tight weaves mean nothing. The strap falls away and if you grab it they'll cut it off there too. The strap, including whatever goes into the lugs, need to be reinforced with or made of metal.
