Noise from the metal attachments - Very secure lanyard
There is no denying that this K&F lanyard for the Pocket 3 is a secure piece of kit, but, there is something to says that if a product is over engineered, then it often defeats its purpose.Everything about this lanyard screams quality, no cheap plastic clips or USB-C caps ends, everything has a quality metal attachment, however, there lies the issue, as I have tried to demonstrate in the attached video, the metal attachments are clearly picked up by the camera mics, which leads you to wanting to unclip the camera from the lanyard before recording your footage, and the small circular clips are not the easiest things to undo, especially if you are looking to film that quick spur of the moment shot that may pass.Its one of the few occasions that I think cheaper plastic attachments which make less noise would actually be beneficial here, as having a lanyard that secures your camera, but in the same circumstances you want to detach it from the lanyard to stop the possibility of the attachment noise, kind of defeats its purpose.Its not all bad though, I have simply got into the habit of holding the camera near the base, and ensuring the ring attachment is clasped between by finger and thumb, or if I'm using the camera where I know there is going to be a lot of movement, then I simply remove the '1/4 inch base' of the Pocket 3, which I find easier than trying to undo the 'quick release' ring.Overall, I'm not disappointed with the K&F lanyard, quite the opposite, just like using a gimbal camera for the first time, I have to adjust how I film, and think about the process before I start to record, and the internal USB-C power cable is a clever concept.
