Peak Design Clutch Camera Hand Strap, Compatible with Any DSLR or SLR Body, Small, Sleek and Durable, Quick Release, Adjustment and Connection, Camera Straps for Photographers, 90 kg Capacity

Bought this recently as having neck problems when using a stock strap on my nikon DSLR. Strap fits nicely onto pretty much any camera, but also comes with a small hook/adaptor ring for use if required. Comes with a plate on the bottom for attaching the anchor to the underside (requires allen key, and is a Swiss-arca style). Also comes with 2 anchors (so one spare). Strap itself is fast to attach and adjust on the fly as required. As per the video, they recommend having it tight for holding, but to loosen slightly when shooting -- to enable you to access the controls better. I've found so far it is quite nice material, not too sweaty or hard/rough, and it's really helped me up my game -- greatly reduced sore fingers from carrying a camera one-handed. Also really helpful as it acts like an extension of the arm -- so you can leave fingers open/free, and effectively carry it as if it were a part of you. By strapping onto the hand, it will put pressure on a stronger and more sturdy part of the body than fingers. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm hoping to pair this with the Cotton Carrier Skout for carrying my camera when not needing to shoot. According to the website, the anchors should fit underneath any tripod mount or other attachment on the underside. Only downside is the Peak Design products are a little more pricey, probably a little more so than they should be... But they are fantastic products and saving my finger/hands/neck for £35 seems reasonable enough (I'll be using it at least weekly, if not more).

I really, really like this. I often find myself out and about with my (slightly large for a mirrorless camera) Panasonic G9, with various zooms attached, carrying the camera in my right hand, holding on to the grip. I tend to keep it either in a case around my neck or in a backpack. So, when I take it out, a neck strap is not always the best thing. This is rather reminiscent of the strap you used to have on a camcorder, allowing you to hold the thing securely in one hand. So, this suits me down to the ground. I also found it helps with holding the camera low towards ground level or up high, when composing with the articulated screen. It has a quality feel and the ARCA Swiss compatible clamp that fits to the tripod socket is an added bonus as it clips right on to my tripod and really doesn't get in my way. Two small criticisms. Attaching it is not obvious, best watch the YouTube video and think 'Oh, of course...). Secondly, with your right hand securely fixed to the camera, depending on where all the controls are, you may find that your fingers can't easily hit all the buttons. That depends on your model, of course but in the instructions, they suggest slackening the strap slightly when shooting and that more or less resolved my problem. I'm quite prepared to believe that this could be an inconvenience on other models. Despite what Peak Design say, I find it inconvenient to fix the base mount with the allen key, rather than being able to use a coin or ring turn - this means that if you're out in the field and wish to take it off, you'll be stuck. I have also bought the Peak Design neck strap and it's possible to use both straps at once or to swap between them fairly easily. I'm impressed with the quality and usability and the clever design. I think, given it includes a neat Arca Swiss compatible plate it's pretty good value too. I recommend it.

I really do like this Peak CL-3 and it gives confidence with a D4 hanging off the end off my arm and is really great value for money too. This is just a great hand strap that can be attached in a number of ways to suit. You have the choice of using your camera's own strap eyelets built into it's chassis or body using the Peak's own strong looking (braided steel wire inside ?) loop cord attachment OR you can use your camera's baseplate quick release hotshoe that sits on your tripod's quick release head and this is the option I prefer seeming a stronger and safer option to my mind. The thought of the camera's eyelets getting yanked out of it's body as some whippersnapper takes off down the high street just doesn't give me that enthusiasm when carrying something like this inhand as opposed to around neck 80s tourist style map in hand (I've nothing against tourists btw). The strap itself is of a decent width, although could be a little more substantial feeling when on hand, and the attachment methods both feel very secure even if one seems more secure than the other to my mind. Luckily not yet had it tested for efficacy but I feel confident with a car hanging off hand, mostly, and that is what this is for ; a safe and secure comfortable camera strap.

The clutch strap works very well giving a secure hold on the camera for carrying around while quickly allowing it to be loosened enough to operate the camera controls. It feels well made and is very light. I've taken a star off because I had to spend another £21 to get the base plate which is compatible with my Manfrotto heads. It would seem better to me to either sell the base plates separately or to have two versions of the clutch strap with either Arca Swiss or Manfrotto compatible base plates. I have ended up with the initially supplied base plate being surplus to requirements, yet have already paid ( a seemingly high price) for it !

I bounced off this thing really hard. I just doesn't quite do anything right for my use. It's somehow too loose yet too tight at the same time. You have to cinch the strap down to get it to hold your hand securely but then this makes it tricky to take off and put on. Loosen it up a little and the strap flaps around awkardly as you try to insert you hand then doesn't really hold securely until you tighten the strap again. A single attachment point at the shoulder strap point with the strap arranged in a loop would be far better overall. Build quality is good but there's nowhere near enough here to justfiy the price. Absolute daylight robbery.

Good quality item.

A very good quality item.

I'm now heavily invested into the Peak Design ecosystem. I just love their design and dedication as a company. I previously bought the Slide Lite and used it to good effect. The reason I wanted to purchase this, is because I wanted to have a more run and gun setup that was slightly more nimble than having to attach the strap. Sometimes when I am shooting photos, I want to be more discreet and put the camera away quicker. I know this strap is advertised as for DSLR cameras and not really for mirrorless, but I have had no problem using it on my Sony a7iii. It works great, with a snug fit and provides everything I can ask for. The only downside is that because of the top strap having to loop through, I have had to reattach the triangular inlet to my Sony. Hopefully in future they develop a way to use the quick release loops for both the top and the bottom. But overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and it works great with my 20L everyday backpack and quick release clamp.

Muito prático e de excelente qualidade

Ich habe den Peak Design CL-3 Clutch jetzt seit einigen Wochen an meiner Kamera und bin wirklich begeistert. Der Handgriff sitzt bequem, lässt sich schnell enger oder lockerer einstellen und gibt mir beim Fotografieren ein deutlich sichereres Gefühl. Gerade bei längeren Sessions merke ich, dass das Handgelenk weniger ermüdet und die Kamera einfach stabiler in der Hand liegt. Die Verarbeitung ist wie gewohnt bei Peak Design top, robust, hochwertig und durchdacht. Einziger kleiner Nachteil: die Montage mit dem unteren Arca-Adapter braucht etwas Werkzeug, aber das macht man nur einmal. Fazit: Für mich ein super Zubehörteil, das die Kamera sicherer und das Fotografieren entspannter macht, klare Empfehlung.

Have had these on several cameras for along time now. helps a lot for safety of camera. I wouldn't go without this on camera now. super quality.

This camera hand strap is comfortable and I feel completely secure that my camera is safe and stable in my hand. I use this system on all my cameras now.

First, Peak Design does a great job with design and quality of their camera accessories, this hand strap is no exception. It's quick and easy to install/uninstall, is adjustable for hand size, and feels very secure. I bought this for when I don't want to have a full sized strap on my camera(also a Peak Design product and also easy to install/uninstall). The full size strap can tend to get in the way and this hand strap frees the camera up while still providing security that should I get bumped into, or my hands get sweaty, I don't have to worry about dropping $7k worth of camera gear onto the payment. Very happy with this strap!
