Peak Design Leash
Editor’s Choice

The newly updated Leash carries over the original’s incredible strength with anchors capable of keeping 200 pounds aloft but with a new, sleeker look. It boasts all-new aluminum anodized hardware with a new dual aluminum/Hypalon quick-adjustment system. The anchor connectors are slimmer and designed to slide in and out quicker. The strap’s nylon webbing material features a tighter weave, which the company says improves its durability. It’s available in ash or black.

Cotton Carrier Systems G3

The G3 harness line features a new shoulder strap and back panel with extra padding and a quieter lens stabilization strap. The back panel is also larger to better distribute weight and is now made with a breathable material. There are a pair of front pockets and breathable rear stretch pockets to stow accessories. There’s a rain cover that can fold into itself when it’s not needed. All the harnesses in the G3 line can be mounted directly to a tripod thanks to its Universal Tripod Adapter.

BlackRapid Breathe Sport

BlackRapid’s Breathe line was recently overhauled with lighter, moisture-wicking material. The bumpers now have spring locks that automatically lock when slid into position. The FastenR connection from the strap to the camera is protected with over-molded nylon, which reduces wear and also dampens the noise when you click it into place.

The MoneyMaker camera harness has been updated with an all-new buckle. The Chestnut and Tan versions feature new leather that’s less absorbent and softer.
