After listening to this podcast I did some research on Peak Design straps on their website.
After being reassured that the Peak Design plates were compatible with a wide range of tripod heads including all of mine (I use Manfrotto) I ordered a Peak Design clutch hand strap and shoulder strap for my birthday.
These arrived just before I boarded a flight for a 2 week photography holiday. Unfortunately I soon found that the plates weren’t compatible with my tripods.
When I got home, further research on the Peak Design website revealed that they sell Manfrotto-compatible plates. I ordered some. They still haven’t arrived. I have had to pay international postage twice and still don’t have the system working 2 months after I decided to buy.
I originally thought it was a genuine mistake on the website, but after talking to Peak Designs customer support, I wonder if it is a strategy to sell extra parts.
This is just my experience with them.
