photolandscape Posted June 26, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Obviously, this in no way affects picture quality, but I noticed that the Q doesn't have the plastic/nylon inserts that protect the finish on the body from rubbing against the neckstrap--like those on the past few M models. Mildly surprised they didn't include them and hoping the finish doesn't wear away quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matlep Posted June 27, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 27, 2016 After almost 12 months of daily usage, there are no marks from the strap in my Q. So no need to worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyros Moutsouris Posted July 9, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 9, 2016 Are you looking for a strap or a fashion statement? I think it would be safer a ring strap rather than a cord strap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted July 9, 2016 Share #7 Posted July 9, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The cords on the anchors of the strap SonomaBear mentioned are composed of multiple layers, each color coded. Black -- the anchor is at full strength, rated for 200 lbs of force. Yellow: the outer sheath of the anchor is frayed and worn. The anchor should be replaced. Red: The second layer has also worn. Do not use. The issue with the PD anchors is that it can be next to impossible to thread the cords through the lugs without damaging the cords. On the other hand some have had problems with metal rings working their way out of strap and camera lugs. See, for example, this page (overgaard.dk) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand some have had problems with metal rings working their way out of strap and camera lugs. See, for example, this page (overgaard.dk) I reported a while back that my method of threading these cords is by using some cotton thread to pull the loop through the lugs. It took me a while of frustrated effort until I used my brain! No damage is caused using this method. I really like the PD straps, but have yet to see how long the anchor cords last.

biglouis Posted July 10, 2016 Share #9 Posted July 10, 2016 Because I use the Peak Design strap system I had to purchase strap rings and they came with leather body protectors. I think they cost me less than a fiver (UK money). LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anchor cord itself does not appear to cause wear on the camera body; thus no protectors are needed. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
