Quick-connect anchors, slim profile, and a length that adjusts in one motion. The Leash is why your old neck strap is collecting dust.

Peak Design Leash Review
The Leash is Peak Design's lightest quick-adjusting camera strap. After a year of daily carry across two bodies, here's why it stays on every camera I own.
What makes it different
The anchor-link system clicks on and off in seconds, so the strap moves between bodies without tools. The slim nylon webbing tucks into a bag without bulk, and a single pull tightens or loosens length on the fly — handy when you want a cross-body sling one minute and a tight chest rig the next.
In real use
Paired with a Fujifilm X-T5 and a Sony A7 IV, the Leash handles both without sag. The aluminum hardware feels overbuilt for the weight. Anchors have been rated to 200 lb, and Peak Design has updated them twice since launch for added safety.
Who it's for
Anyone tired of fixed-length straps. Street, travel, and hybrid shooters who swap bodies. Skip it only if you're shooting all-day with a 70-200 — for that weight, look at the Slide instead.
What we love
- ✓Quick-release anchors swap between bodies in seconds
- ✓Adjusts length one-handed
- ✓Slim, packable webbing
- ✓Lifetime warranty
Where it falls short
- –Too thin for very heavy telephoto rigs
- –Anchors take getting used to
FAQ
Will the anchors hold a heavy camera?
Yes — rated to 200 lb. For pro telephoto setups Peak Design recommends the thicker Slide strap.
Does it fit any camera?
Anchors thread through any standard strap lug — works on mirrorless, DSLR, and most rangefinders.
