I like that. Despite also having many straps, I am still on the hunt for one I really like. Amongst the collection I have two Peak Design straps and the cuff. None have lasted long on my Q2. My Cooph double braided strap is too bulky. Current fave is a cheap Amazon braided wrist strap. Edited February 16, 2022 by Marc B-C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Wales Posted February 20, 2022 Share #25 Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Next to the beautiful Nikon AN-4B strap, my go-to strap for all my cameras is................ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075X13M83/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=6a43006e5f147e566a699993910d65ef&hsa_cr_id=5224930740502&pd_rd_plhdr=t&pd_rd_r=51c0ec86-1b2d-490b-9d33-0d81033c3773&pd_rd_w=enjmO&pd_rd_wg=W03vA&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_lsi4d_asin_2_img They are made by various companies. It's very inexpensive (odd for something used on a Leica)and can very easily be wrapped around ones wrist. The fist thing I do is THROW AWAY THE QUICK RELEASE GIZMO'S, I just use the strap plus a pair of leather scuff protectors, one at each end to stop the camera ring damaging the camera.

humerc Posted February 20, 2022 Share #26 Posted February 20, 2022 Gordys Camera Straps are also very good. Just received a few of them and really like them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_in_Edinburgh Posted March 7, 2022 Share #27 Posted March 7, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the Peak Design leash and wrist strap, for my Q, I've used then on a few of my Fuji cameras too. I really like them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon468 Posted March 11, 2022 Share #29 Posted March 11, 2022 I have a different system. I use the Domke F-8, a small shoulder bag, and a Gordy's leather camera strap (long) with a wrist pad and it has been on my Q since day one. I understand this is not what you asked for, but I get great protection and the ease of a piece of fine leather in the hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJohn Posted March 11, 2022 Share #30 Posted March 11, 2022 I use this one. Leica Wide Saddle Leather Camera Strap #14455. I had it on an M some years back. You need to get 2 triangle camera rings to attach it. Really soft and comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandokan Posted May 27, 2022 Share #34 Posted May 27, 2022 On 2/16/2022 at 4:39 PM, LocalHero1953 said: Curious: how do people wrap a neck strap around their wrists so it is neither too loose nor cuts off blood circulation? I've never managed it (it just comes too loose and drops off), but plenty of people say they do it, so I'm sure the fault is mine. Can someone post a photo? Or a sketch with arrows and numbers? Put a loop in strap, put hand through the loop and then wrap remaining strap around wrist. I found this to be a little more secure and with a cloth strap (A&A 100 acam), is comfortable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acg69 Posted May 27, 2022 Share #35 Posted May 27, 2022 There is a new “thing” coming to the market in September and it looked good to me on Kickstarter so I backed it. Haven’t tried it of course, but it looks like a good idea at least, not sure about the implementation. It is called Rita-Strap. https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjXzaX1mv_3AhX6gv0HHSHZB04QtwJ6BAgHEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kickstarter.com%2Fprojects%2Fviiu%2Fcamera-rota-strap-and-rota-lock-accessories&usg=AOvVaw0lM6byVEXwivxSq8Z4S0d9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, it is possible to attach PD anchors directly with the help of a fishing line. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, thank me that the lengths are listed on the Q&A for that campaign - I wrote to them and less than two hours later they had added that info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T25UFO Posted June 3, 2022 Share #38 Posted June 3, 2022 It's a very personal thing but I find wrist straps work well with the Q series cameras, particularly when combined with a thumb support. I have the Harry Benz La Cravate for my Q2M (red pinstripe) and have just ordered another for my Q2R (green pinstripe). Really excellent quality products. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
