I change from the crossbody strap to the wrist strap when I need. It is easy to switch between the two. This attachment works much better than the wider and even the flatter ones. I have different colours so I can use them as I please.
I bought this strap a month ago after selling my A7RV and switching to my iPhone as my only camera, I found myself dropping my phone several times when trying to get a shot from a difficult angle just because of the ergonomics of the phone. I had been a Peak Design user for many years with all my cameras, so this was the first place I looked and I found the Mobil Cuff. Like all Peak Design products, the design and execution are just the best. This is the perfect cell phone / camera accessory.
There is no explanation anywhere as to how this product works. That is insane to me. I went through the box, the company's webpage, the instructions, etc. Nothing. I guess the small "anchors" have to be violently pulled from its resting holder. WOW. I would have thought there might be a trick, like "twist this" or something. Every time I go to pull it out I feel like I am about to break the string or the holder. I can't believe someone engineered this product, and it was released with no instructional video. This from a bay area "tech" company. You must be kidding. UNREAL.
Just what I was after. The micro anchor works well - clicks when in so you know it’s secure. It’s just a twist and pull of the micro anchor strap against the rest of the cuff strap to release - works a treat everytime, but you do have to do it that way otherwise it won’t release easily (that’s a plus in my book!). Good size of strap and slim build. Feels really comfortable and now I don’t worry about taking photos from high bridges or in busy locations. Great job.
I don't usually submit feedback but since I was almost put off buying this strap by the bad reviews I felt the need to set the record straight. As far as I can see there is no problem at all disconnecting the connector when required. Just grip the threads and pull up and out, as per the instructions. It doesn't require brute force, a secret technique or anything difficult. That said, I am very pleased with the strap; a nice little bit of kit.
I've been using this for 6 months and love it! I used it kayaking in Hawaii, hiking in Washington, and lots of other adventures. It is super sturdy, and gives me peace of mind that I'm not going to lose my phone overboard or over a waterfall. The mechanism to disconnect it took a bit of getting used to, but it's not that hard.
I’m posting this review to balance out the negative ones about the micro anchor being too hard to open, as they nearly out me off. I took the risk as I’ve neen very pleased with my other Peak Design purchases, and I’m glad I did. The Cuff is the usual high quality and premium finish that you can expect from Peak Design. The micro anchor is stiff the first time you open it so I’d reccommend doing this off of the phone case before attaching it. I open and closed mine about 10-20x until it loosened up, then attached it to the phone case. Once you get the knack of opening it it’s quite easy. I just put my finger on the end of the cord whete it attaches to the phone case (to prevent excessive tension on the case) then pull the anchor away with cord pulling down and backwards (relative to the anchor) and it pops off easily every time. The ibis one goes beautifully with the orange iphone 17 (as does the green and orang PD case - got compliments on it recently).
