I don’t, but while I heartily endorse my two identical Peak Design wide straps, I find myself only now questioning the convenience of my more recently purchased (almost a year ago) narrower Peak Design strap assembly designed for lighter weight cameras, such as mirrorless. This narrower strap assembly employs a base plate (that screws into the tripod mount,) which, unlike its predecessor, does NOT employ a flat screw slot to tighten or loosen the plate. Instead, it employs a hexagonal depression that requires a Hex key (provided by the manufacturer,) to do so. A few weeks ago, the plate came off the camera spontaneously; the camera would have fallen to the ground had I not, by coincidence, happened to be directly holding on to the camera at the time.
Is this loosening over time due to my lack of using the Hex key to tighten it up "all the way?" Maybe. Or does this mean that any time I go outside with a camera employing this strap that I better keep a Hex key handy?

I am sorry to hear this because I have the Peak Design Lite on my mirrorless camera. The plate on the tripod mount is square and has NEVER loosened.
I did opt for the BosStrap on my heavier DSLR and it’s a great strap. Highly recommended. Does not attach to the tripod mount.
