FWIW I just put the anchor links on the triangular split rings that came with my Z5, D750, and D600 and don't worry further. I use the cuff and slide strap. I also have bought the anchor link adapter system to use 2 normal fabric straps I have and like.

Just received the Cuff I ordered (I love Amazon), and bingo! the oval split ring is inside, together with a black plastic sleeve that’s so cute and a special little tool to help you to help you install the split ring. So, Peak still have a supplier they trust for those rings!

Sorry for the ugly iPhone snap!

Ha ha! Call me Machiavelli: my devious scheme worked a charm! I already had one Peak split ring assembly that had come with a Cuff, and I managed to procure a second one from a local Nikon dealer in Lyon. I have a man there and he thought he might have seen an extra one lying around the store somewhere... He found it and gave it to me for free, so now my Z7 II is fully outfitted with the newest (v3?) kind of Anchor links. And I may also receive some courtesy ones directly from Peak at some point in August...

So, I have removed the older (v2?) Anchors which, after 3 years of service on my Z7 and 2½ years on my Z7 II, were only very slightly frayed and didn’t show any part of their yellow outer core.

I like Peak Design products, they’re good quality, very functional and generally good-looking, too, although for me the most stylish (and most comfortable) shoulder straps remain the German-made elk hide ones by Eddycam (their website is here). I have two, a narrow one shown below on the Z7 in 2018, and a wider one shown on the D850 (photo from 2019):

I swear, we photographers with our straps and bags, we’re worse than the ladies with their purses! :eek:))

Today I did receive in the mail, as promised, two oval split rings, two black plastic covers, a special tool to install them and some anchors from Peak Design, all of that complimentary. Peak is a great company! :giggle:
