PEAK DESIGN CUFF
peakdesign.com
£25 / $29You don’t always want a shoulder or
neck strap, especially with a small,
light camera, and a wrist strap like
Peak Design’s latest Cuff makes
a great alternative. It gives you
the peace of mind that you won’t
drop your camera or lose it to an
opportunist thief.
The Cuff has an aluminium loop
that slides up and down the strap to
tighten or loosen it as you need. It
attaches to your camera via one of
the supplied anchors (there are two
in the box). These snap into place
but have a quick-release system
that lets you swap to a different
Peak Design strap in a flash.
A new leather section makes
the Cuff a bit stiffer and smarter-
looking than the original. We tested
it on the Canon PowerShot G7 X
Mark III (reviewed in this issue) and
found it a perfect match.If you’re thinking of switching to a mirrorless
Nikon camera, you’ll need to get an XQD card.
While that might be annoying, they are more
robust than the SD cards that are used by
many other cameras.
Sony G-series XQD cards make a good
investment, offering transfer speeds of
440MB/s and 400MB/s (read/write) to
ensure you get the continuous shooting
burst depths you anticipate, as well as fast
transfer speeds.
In addition to the Nikon Z 7, we tested the
card in the Phase One XF IQ4 150MP we
reviewed last month. Despite the enormous
files sizes, the card kept the camera ticking
over without any hiccups or corrupted images.
We were also able to transfer over 14.5GB of
images from the card to an iMac with a USB 3
port in just under two minutes using the Sony
MRW-E90 XQD/SD card reader.SONY 64GB XQD
