Peak Design Anchor Links for Camera Straps (AL-4)

Convert any camera strap into a quick release strap. Or add these to your cameras so you can swap Peak Design straps between cameras. They are pricier than similar products but I trust these with my expensive camera gear. I’ve never had one fail after a decade of use.

Top quality. Got these for my new to me Fujifilm camera. I love Peak Designs products...good to have some extras on different items so I can just swap straps at will!

Peak Design is the end all be all for photography gear. I use these for EVERYTHING.

The pictures show just thev four lollypops. What's not shown (or mentioned) is that you get two of the receivers that attach to a neck strap. Or to put it another way you get the receivers for one neck strap and four lollypops for two cameras (binoculars, etc.) or one camera with two spares.According to the instructions, the lollypops will show a yellow inner core when the begin to wear out (but before they break.These clips release easily with one hand (thumb actually) and reconnect effortlessly.I just got these, so it's too early to know how well they hold up, but they feel sturdy and durable.

Nice to share straps with other cameras or to remove straps quickly.

I have been a fan of Peak Design for a long time. I have the little buttons on about everything. I trust their strength to hold anything. The little clips that can be used to attach the tabs to a to a camera lug didn't work on my Sony RX100-4, because the lugs are recessed, and had to make up an alternative, but I made it work. On other cameras and binoculars they are easy and secure.

I first purchased a set of these for a D7500, and they made my trips to desert parks photographing flora and fauna easier. When I purchase them, they were packaged so that four anchors (which attached to the camera body) were included with two metal, spring-loaded connectors that attach to the strap supplied by Nikon. Changing lens takes a while, and is not the best practice in high winds full of fine sand. So, wanting to stick with my DSLR equipment and not a fan of mirrorless smaller buttons and dials and more expensive lenses, when another D7500 body was on sale, I bought it and wanted a similar setup on it. Switching one strap between two bodies is also too time consuming if getting the shots is important—what is more important?. Even though I already had a set of anchors for the second body, I didn't have a set of metal connectors for the second strap. So I purchased a second set of 4 anchors and two metal connectors. And both setups work fine.So, why the "but ..."? After visiting PeakDesign's site it appears they have done away with the idea of supplying spring-loaded connectors for straps supplied by camera manufacturers in favor of selling their own straps with the connectors "built in" or "built on". It's still possible to buy a set of four anchors for camera bodies, since they can wear out and need to be replaced. However, it has now become ridiculously expensive to purchase the spring-loaded metal connectors, without which the anchors are useless. Really? C'mon PD. That's no way to treat your former or future customers.

I love this thing.
