Fantastic for compact binoculars
on April 25, 2026
Posted by: Paolo
from San Francisco, CA
Perfect for my 8x32 binoculars! Great for compact binoculars where the strap lugs are close to, or under, your hands. The Micro Anchors get out of the way and don't interfere with hand placement, unlike the regular Anchor Links that have a stiffer cord and a larger connector. The strap itself has just enough stretch to absorb the shock from the binoculars bouncing around. For 8x42 and larger binoculars, I still prefer the Leash or Slide Lite.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great when in use....

Very good and practical crossbody strap when in use. It is comfortable and easy to adjust. The reason for the 3 star rating is that it is a little difficult to disconnect from the phone. This makes you think twice before using it.

Adam here from PD. We've found that there's a bit of a learning curve to attaching/detaching the Micro Anchors, but once customers get the technique down it becomes second nature for them. We put together a video to help folks get the hang of it: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYNQlsauAID/
We definitely recommend having a watch and practicing the technique yourself. Thanks for your support and your feedback, and we hope this resource helps!

Amaging! It's an ideal strap! What you need to decupple is just pull.

GR friendly connectors - at last!
on May 19, 2026

from Northumberland, UK
I bought a couple of the cuffs and a cross body for myself and for my wife. She uses hers on her iPhone, mine are for my GRs (a 3 and a 4 monochrome).
Folks are complaining about the new connectors but after a week in Italy using the cuff & crossbody I have to disagree. Yes they are a little more challenging than the usual camara connectors but once in regular use I found no issues at all... and they fit the teeny weeny GR strap mounting holes.
Perhaps it's familiarity thing. Not as easy to adapt to as the camera connectors, but not nearly so bad as some reviewers have made out.
I need another crossbody strap... I doubt my wife will surrender hers!
So... I recommend. I give 4 not 5 stars because you do have to 'learn' and adapt to these connectors. And if you are a GR user... what are you waiting for?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Connector Is Crap
on May 20, 2026
Posted by: MajDep
from Utah
I should have returned when I got it. These connectors are the worst thing I’ve ever had to deal with young or old. It shouldn’t 10 minutes and some sort of lever to get this apart. I like the cord and the concept but these connectors are very discouraging. And beware, unless binoculars are little things these aren’t long enough to carry 10x42 for me. It is comfortable and I’d like to carry my iPhone and my Zeiss binocs….but I can only doo that with one sided mount and then, well I’m stuck with them because I have to unclip from the carabiner and not a quick release connector.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sorry to hear about your experience with our Micro Anchor connectors. We've found that there's a bit of a learning curve to them, but once customers get the technique down it becomes second nature. We put together a video to help folks: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYNQlsauAID/
We definitely recommend having a watch and trying the technique itself. Thanks for your support, and we hope this resource helps!

Great Accessory

I love my new crossbody strap. I can let go of my phone and still have it within easy reach at any time. And with the anchors, I don’t have any issues.

Terrific product, highly recommended!

I recently bought this strap (along with a mobile cuff) to use on my Ricoh Gr IV Monochrone and Ricoh GR III X, swapping from one camera to the other depending on how I use both cameras on a specific day. The strap is very strong and the anchors have a perfect small size and are very secure (even in heavier cameras, I think). Terrific product, highly recommended!
