Peak Design AL-4 Anchor Links

I love my camera strap but when I'm using a tripod it can be a hassle to keep it out of the way of the lens and stop it blowing around and potentially shaking the camera. Always liked the idea of the Peak Design quick release system, but don't want to use their camera straps when I have a nice, comfortable one already. This enables me to use my existing strap and be able to quickly detach it for tripod use.The clips and attachments click together reassuringly and feel very solid. It's pricey for what it is, but worth paying for a trustworthy system - not worth the risk of a cheaper but inferior product when your expensive camera's life depends on it.There are 4 of the widgets that attach to the camera, so you can share one strap between two cameras, or put them on different attachment points, for example on an anchor attached to the tripod hole, to easily hang your camera from there instead of the strap points, which is more comfortable when using a large speedlight or heavy lens.

Being a sport photographer. With three Cameras and lenses.I have these items on all my cameras ,so that if I need to quickly remove a shoulder strap touse a Camera back with a large 400mm lens it is so easy.These Item are great! R

Well made strong anchors, quick and easy to fasten and unclip

Pretty simple, but effective.Can easily support a Canon 5D MKIV and 70-200 f/2.8. Easy to install and easy to unclip when on a tripod or before putting in your bag.I was initially put off by the price, but I think it is OK.The pack contains 4 clips for your camera and 2 for your strap, so you can easily switch the same strap between 2 cameras. It also comes with metal clips, but I haven't used those.

Excellent anchors for the Peak Design system

These Peak Design set-ups are dear but the system does work extremely well and makes dealing with straps: wanting them at some times, not at others, wanting to carry two cameras, wanting to change straps between cameras or just wanting to put the straps away quickly without fuss. The red bunny ear tabs you think will annoy you staying on the camera but you soon grow to ignore them. I would not change to another system, now.

I've used version two of the product for the last couple of years without any issues what so ever. They have been attached to three gripped DSLR's and lens weights up to 500mm and 600mm. They have performed as expected. Not wishing to push my luck, I opted for a pack of the V4's. They are almost identical on the outside to the V2's.According to Peak Design, they have seen 7 failures of these anchors in over a million+ sales. That's one in seventeen thousand sales. The law of big numbers suggest you and I will be OK with our purchase.Go safe and go for the V4's and don't worry; you have over 90kg to play with!

Much more expensive than other products offering to do similar. However, I bought on the basis of good reviews and the consequences of failure and the prospects of my camera falling to the ground motivated me into not cutting corners!The part you attach to your eyelets clips securely into a receptacle you attach to your strap. The clever part is the design which makes it easy to detach or attach the strap without undermining strength. Apart from a sprung metal strip, these are made of plastic and the design is such that this doesn't compromise functionality.I am pleased with my purchase and recommend this product because the design is better than more conventional camera strap attachments. However, these are not a bargain; anyone looking at this product would probably be surprised when you tell them how much it cost!
