so I've had a few people recently asking me the same question which is one of
those red things attached to the side of your camera these things so today I'm
just gonna tell you about those and why I use them
first off before we go any further I'm not sponsored by this company I just
really like their product so what these actually are is a camera system made by
a company called peak design they make different camera strap systems and
pieces of equipment and text that basically allow you to connect your
camera equipment to different things quickly and easily but for real
practical uses for example camera straps they're not the easiest thing to connect
to cameras if you want to take them off put them back on quickly and easily it
there's no easy way to do it that's where this comes in handy so these
little red tabs here I think they call them anchors so this is a camera
strapped made by the same company you made by Pete design but I can do it with
one hand that's that this is how easy is so you clip it in that's it it's in same
on the other side here look that's it now camera straps attached to get it out
it's just as easy you just click it in hold it and that's it it comes off it's
it's a really cool system really easy to use and I really like it but I used to
use can and I you remember had those little weird thing clips on the side
you'd thread it through and then attach the clip and thread it back out and
every time I was having to look up how to do it on the internet and it it
seemed like a lot of work to take a camera strap on and off and yeah this
fixes that so another reason to go with these and they work with Canon Nikon
Sony Panasonic whatever you use it works for all of them and the way these
anchors attach is just to your whatever system you use in my case is Sony if you
want to see what I've gone here just to stop it from rattling I'll put that
video up here somewhere hopefully but yeah they just attach just with a
regular loop and then they just they just hang and it looks like they're
really flimsy but they're not they actually have a really smart system for
knowing when these are tired and they're no longer any good or can really hold
the weight their braided and there's different layers of braid and when you
get down to a different color underneath one of the colors basically means it's
time to change these anchors time to get new ones and I think a set of four
anchors is like twelve dollars so it really isn't a lot cool thing about this
strap the one I use to make it longer and to make it shorter like if you wanna
you have it like a shoulder or just shorter
here it's anomaly with a camera strap system if you want to make it smaller or
shorter you have to just push it in a little bit pull it out the other side
and that's kind of how you make it longer or shorter it's not quick and
easy with this you've got - almost like buckles you just pull them down to make
it longer pull it up to make it shorter really really simple but really
effective and I really like it a little bit pricey but I don't mind paying for
something if it has a genuine practical use which this does another reason I
like this company stuff you can tell the people that actually found in this
company actually like camera stuff and they like things to work properly
they've just gone ahead and made things that no one else is making so the strap
system is one but they also make a baseplate that as a universal base place
so it can attach to different kinds of mount systems
it's a nominee you'd have to dedicate yourself to one mount system like an arc
AR or Swiss type or whatever they called or my case the Manfrotto I think these
are our c-32 plates they have a newer one now which I also have but they had
this old one where it kind of fit on most different mount systems and it has
I don't know if you can see there but you screw in these little adapters and
then that allows you to attach it to what I use which is the Manfrotto RC 32
so let's just can clip on to my gorilla pod and it's good to go and then the
other thing they use from this company that I like as well on my bag which is a
low pro 458 W on the bag here you can see this little thing here now this just
screws on and if you can see just there screws on screws off again but you kind
of want to leave it on whatever you're using really in my case my bag so this
is a system that allows you to mount your camera straight to your back like
that so now it's attached it's not going anywhere
and to get it off its dead easy you just push this red button and it unclips
you can't fall through or anything like that if you click down the red button it
can't go through that hole it can only come up so think about it really like
you unless you're bending straight over its and you're holding down the button
it's not coming off in any way this is using the plate that they designed as
well that is the universal one that works with the Manfrotto RC 32 and then
their own system as well you can see how this would be useful you're out and
about and you need your hands-free the cameras just attached to my
back now it's not going anywhere jump up them down there it's on that good it's
not coming off really I really like that so yeah heap design products I use the
strap I use the anchor system and I use whatever this is called
I think it's a capture clip or something I'll put the proper names down below for
you anyway I'll do some close-ups of this anchor system and the clip and the
base plates coming your way now
as I said I'm not sponsored by peak design I just really liked their product
and I would highly recommend their product to anyone who wants to do
similar things to what I'm doing that's it for today just a really quick video
to show you some other products they use I'm gonna be doing a what's in my camera
bag cuz everyone does one of those I'll do one of those soon if you like this
video today just hit that little like button down below I would appreciate it
and subscribe to my channel if you're not already part of it and I'll see you
in the next video see ya
