Would you folks reccomend having the peak design leash connected to the camera while it's on this for a failsafe (in case you drop it after dismountin

The Peak Design Leash is an excellent add on for this item and would offer the ultimate protection for drop provention and I have to say I am in the better safe than sorry camp...

I personally would add one if you are in an active setting. I dropped my D3200 while riding a ride at Disneyland trying to put it back in the mount. But I still love it.

Hi Alex, Yes, one of the recommended uses of Leash is to use it as a safety tether and this feature can be used with or without Capture. Thanks!

The leash is more a wrist strap. I would assume it would be more of a hassle to have it attached as a fail safe if you might be that clumsy.

Sure, extra protection always helps. All by itself, it's very safe and secure. The camera will not fall off without you pushing the button while pulling it out.

I love this mount. It's a rock solid build and very sturdy after clicking in. I would not use the leash. I believe it's plenty secure enough. I do only have a sony nex, so maybe not quite as substantial a camera as yours.

Yes but I would keep the camera strap around your arm. read the reviews. Most are pretty accurate.

no, your camera strap should be used. Its a simple design so you dont have 2 straps attached.

Not for long. This a nice design but not durable. I used it during a rain storm. It seemed to be OK but when I to use it the next time after the rain use it didn't work. I called and Master Lock won't sell just the camera.

The clamp itself held tight, but the supporting bolts in the gopro housing are liable to unravel due to vibration. Had I tethered my camera I wouldn't have lost it.Gopro do advise that these aren't the best means of attaching cameras :0)

yea clip needs to come off. I think you can add a additional add-on to place the tripod clip.

I have not had a problem with this but I can see where there might be a problem if you are moving rapidly around but I have not experienced this just walking around. But I also usually keep a hand on my camera when it is hanging from the strap.(just one of my tics I guess). I totally love this strap and the easy of use that it allows me when I am taking pictures.

Since it's a monopod and you have to hold it somewhere to keep it steady, you might as well hold on to the camera anyway. But I would not carry it with the camera screwed on - seems risky.

It is designed to be used with a tripod. I prefer to remove the strap, but at times leave it on as well.

If you are referring to removing the camera, but leaving the mount. Yes that should be fine.If you are talking about removing the mount, no.

There is a small steel loop attached to the camera body, which appears some kind of high density plastic. Could it break - I guess, but it would be hard to do.

Put the strap on first then it works great, my camera hangs low below the bottom of my day packs. I clip my back pack chest strap under the camera strap.

I have a d700 with mb-d10 and when I use it and know I'm going to be switching back and forth I usually just wear the strap without clicking the strap in. I know its not safe but its okay and its a little bit more flexible.

Has anyone shock-tested the snap and click-buckle to see how they would fare in the event of a sudden aggravated drop ? A decent test would be to attach the strap to a ring that is fastened solidly to a work-bench and connected to an object 3X as heavy as the camera; shove the weight off the bench and see what happens. I believe I already know.......... Thanks so much for answering my question.

I am certainly glad that you asked this question. What the issue is with this device is that it does not tighten up enough and it slides out the clip on top of the camera, which in turn causes the lights, or what ever you have on it to fall completely off the camera. I have been meaning to call and complain about this and in hopes that you could replace it with a better fitting device.

Not quite sure what clip you are referring to but if it's the clip that locks in the strap length, then yes you should lock it. The weight may have to do with how you are wearing it; I recommend that you experiment with different positions. One word of caution: you must frequently tighten the screw that holds the strap to the camera. The other day, as I was hiking, my camera fell onto the ground because the screw was loose. BAD BAD BAD.

Well, I've used the Peak Design Clip for about 20 hours, also in very crowded situations. Even when jostled, as you put it, it still kept my camera safely attached to my belt.
