I sent an email off to Peak Design to ask about one of their wrist straps. I want to use it as a safety strap in case the camera gets knocked out of my hand or dropped. I asked them if it was long enough to connect to the tripod mount on a zoom so there wouldn't be excessive weight on the lens mount. Their response:
This is opposite what I've been taught and flies in the face of logic. The weight and length of the lens would put a lot of stress on the mount if it were to drop. But, hey...they're the experts. Or are they?
What say you?
Thanks for reaching out! The stress on the mount will actually be greater if you attach it to the lens foot vs the camera, so would be advise to attach Cuff to the lug of the camera as designed
