All form, little function.

Looks cool BUT:
The rope is actually quite rigid and gets awkward when you wind it up around your wrist. Also due to the rigidity of this round rope, it gets quite uncomfortable after a short period of time (not using a huge dslr even, but kind of a heavy brass Leica m). Also, because the rope is round and pretty rigid, if you use this as a shoulder strap, it does not feel secure and will inevitably roll off your shoulder.
Finally the metal ring on the rope is useless and will absolutely scratch up your camera. I had to use bolt cutters to take off this stupid feature.
I bought this for my Fujifim X-E5, and it's perfect. Much lighter and less fuss than the Sling I use for my Nikon bodies, this type of strap is ideal for the smaller form factor of that camera. I chose the length with my preferred "carry - mode" in mind which is in front of body around the neck. I am 6' tall, and for cross-body, I would have chosen a longer version of this strap, but I rarely carry a camera that way. Nice touch are the color coordinated anchors, although I would have bought it with the standard issue black/red as well... LOL
Long overdue camera strap. I been using the old style PD straps. Noticed this and ordered one. I now have a medium and long version, plus a short leash. Wonderful design down to the new anchors. Much more comfortable.
Love it. It comes with new anchors that fits my X-T5 better. I also like how it allows for different carry styles so I can use my camera frictionless. Recommended.
Outstanding product! The strap is made very well, I love the thin link connector. Mine is black standard rope. Would be awesome, if PD will update their Cuff with these new thin connectors!
