Trusty Cuff, but even better

I bought this one as soon as it came out. Had been using the original Cuff for years (a few at least?), taking it everywhere, so I thought — two is one. The rope version seemed bit more portable, but truth to be told, description and pictures did not do it justice, you have to touch and feel the material. I called the original ingenious, but this version surpasses it. The details, like the stopper bead to prevent it from stopping your hand blood circulation :-) for example.
Now, the original Cuff I only use for the phone or Sony RX100, but the rope version serves as a backup wrist strap to Nikon Zf (let's leave Zf's ergonomics aside, shall we) as well. None the less my primary use for the rope Cuff is a wrist strap for iPhone Pro Max in a PD case. Not that my grip is getting weak with age, but you'd be surprised… well let's say you do not want to get surprised.
It is soft, comfortable, sturdy, easy to pack or pocket. One obvious drawback is that you can't really wear it around your wrist in sort of stand-by mode like the magnetic leather version. Some smart solution for this would be nice in v 2.0. Other that trying to loop it in somehow.
However, I must say the price if a little eye-watering. Honestly around 40 SFr. is a bit too much. Don't get me wrong — for some 20-25 a piece I'd get 2-3 of these, different colours, or just to have one in each bag. But at 40+ I feel certain psychological barrier.
this strap is perfect for a very lightweight camera. The “rope” is a substantial very comfortable synthetic that doesn’t hurt your wrist. I bought bith this and the longer strap that I can carry across my body. It’s good to have options!
Excellent strap that does not dig into your wrist. Comfortable to wear. I use Canon 5D Mark IV bodies with heavy glass since I do a lot of nature photography.
One thing I would like to see improved is the attachment bobbles that attach to the body. I have recently purchased a Sigma BF camera for my walk around (canon lenses adapt well) and the cords are too big in diameter to fit that body. So now I must use a different strap an can’t use my rope strap.
I have owned this for about nine months now. I really enjoy the secure feeling that it gives me when I’m carrying my camera around. I have it on my Sony a6700 with a Sony 18-105 f4 lens. It is very comfortable and I like the stop the keeps the loop just loose enough.
Quite pleased with the Cuff-Rope. I use it with my iPhone with the Peak Design phone case where I have attached a Peak Design Anchor. My primary use for the Cuff-Rope is when I am traveling and actively using my phone. With the phone connected to the Cuff-Rope via the Anchor and leashed to my wrist, I don’t worry about the notorious pick-pockets snatching my phone. Especially when I am using the phone to navigate foreign cities and am admittedly somewhat distracted by making my way (prime target to get the phone snatched). The PD phone case + Anchor + Cuff-Rope configuration is great when taking pictures/videos from spots where if I drop my phone, it’s a goner (hot air balloon; reaching out over a railing from a high building or landmark; on water in a kayak etc.). With the Cuff-Rope, if I drop my phone, it stays with me dangling from my wrist. Phew!
