This was my favourite strap for my phone and camera until they came out with the smaller attachment. I still like this when I use my Nikon camera since it is sturdier.
Recently bought this to replace the rope strap that came with my XE-5. The rope on the Cuff Strap is much more supple than the other. Its small size and lightness means I just leave it on my camera even when it's riding in my tiny shoulder pouch as it takes up very little additional space. It also feels very secure. Once it's on my wrist it's not coming off and there is a slider to ensure that it doesn't cinch down too tightly. The Anchor Link makes it easy for me to swap it out for the Leash Strap when I want to walk around hands-free, but the Cuff Strap is my default.
Yeah, Product works as designed! I mean, it is a camera wrist strap made of rope: you strap it close to your wrist, attach it to the camera via the provided fancy connectors and it works, like the camera is secure and won't fall down. The fabric didn't give me skin rash or other weird reactions but make sure you don't tight it too tight to cut the blood flow through your hand.
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!
