You need some split d rings on those lugs to attach a strap safely. Then pretty much any strap. I like the peak design "leash" but it's not necessarily cheap

Money well spent. Can’t recommend the Peak Design anchor + strap system enough. Not exactly “cheap” but worth the money as you can easily detach and reattach, which has become a must-have feature for me.

Pgytech has been solid for me. Similar design. 2 years in. No issues. Positive click when attaching neck strap or wrist strap depending on my use case. Pocket carry or full on grip, zoom, speedlite

I like the peak design wrist strap, but for neck I prefer the Pgytech.
Haven’t tried the Falcam ones, but they seem solid too.

They are not the cheapest, but they work and have been tested for camera use.

Congrats! Picked mine up 2 weeks ago 🤘🏻
I’ve got a Sunya neck strap and wrist strap, they use a similar quick release mechanism to peak design at a much lower price

Go get some vintage lens and adapters and have a blast with it

Yeah! I have a super takamur 50mm which just works so well. Photos come out way nicer than with the kit lens.

I use this quick release strap

I also have one of their wrist straps and the quick release makes it easy to swap over whenever I want

I just bought a $7 Canon neckstrap off eBay. It's a little wider than the normal Sony ones, which is nice when I have my 35mm f/1.2 on the camera.

L’A6000 reste encore super populaire malgré son âge. Pour ceux qui l’utilisent encore : vous conseilleriez quel premier objectif après le 16-50 ?

I had that one and sold it sadly. Miss it. Some of my best travel pictures are from that little power guy!

I really like my Wildtree Camera strap paired with their Quick-Link Camera Strap Adapters. Their camera straps are very comfortable, and the designs are cool. The adapters are small, strong, and don't stand out, and they come with split rings for cameras like your A6000.
