Re: So I contacted Peak Design and PolarPro about the same problem...
This is something fairly important to me; I constantly see people talk about how you can get the same for half the price on Amazon or whatever, but nobody considers anything beyond that.
Peak Design is a great example here; they make lots of well-made stuff with plenty of copycats.
Obviously they can do it cheaper; PD already did the R&D and initial marketing of the concept for them, cheaper options just piggyback off that.
PD also seems to put a lot of effort into support; from informational videos showing the features of their gear, to direct customer support.
I wish more people at least considered this when making their choice. Not saying that you should never get the cheaper option; as long as you make that choice conscious of what it entails, I have no issues with it.

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO is finally here! Chris has opinions.
The Canon EOS R8 is the company's latest mid-level full-frame mirrorless camera. It brings the sensor and autofocus from the EOS R6 II and combines them in a smaller, more affordable body.
The Canon EOS R50 is an entry-level, compact APS-C mirrorless camera. A 24MP RF-mount camera aiming to attract smartphone users and, perhaps, vloggers.
See what Chris and Jordan think of the Canon EOS R8 after shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Canon EOS R50 is inexpensive. It's tiny. Is it good? Jordan and Chris dodged alligators in South Carolina to find out.
