Slide Lite Camera Strap

I recently purchased the Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap in Black, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. This camera strap is an absolute game-changer for my photography adventures. Its versatility and thoughtful design features have made it an indispensable tool for carrying my camera with ease and comfort. Firstly, the durable aluminum quick-adjuster handles are a true blessing. They allow me to keep my camera securely close to my body, no matter how I prefer to carry it—be it as a sling strap, shoulder strap, or a neck strap. The reconfigurability is a standout feature, and I can switch between the different styles in a matter of seconds, making it incredibly convenient for varying shooting scenarios. The 32mm wide seatbelt-style webbing provides exceptional comfort while keeping a low profile, and I appreciate the smart design choice of making one side smooth and the other gripped. This feature ensures the strap stays in place without any discomfort during long shoots or hikes. The new design anchors are a stroke of genius. Not only do they serve as a reminder of wear and tear, but they are also thinner, allowing me to use them in conjunction with my tripod. This eliminates the need to detach the strap when mounting the camera on a tripod—a small but crucial detail for efficient workflow. The Slide Lite's Anchor Link connection system is revolutionary, allowing me to reconfigure the strap as a sling, neck, or shoulder strap instantly. It's like having three straps in one, giving me the flexibility I need to adapt to various shooting conditions. Moreover, I must commend the total stability provided by the two configurable points of connection. This feature ensures that my camera stays in place at all times, even when I'm on the move or in challenging terrain. I've used it with heavy professional cameras and binoculars, and it holds them with confidence and reliability. The hyper-adjustable length of the strap is another highlight. With two quick-pull adjusters, I can easily find the perfect length for comfortable carrying, no matter my body shape or the type of gear I'm using. I also appreciate how smoothly the webbing glides over clothing, enabling quick and hassle-free access to my camera. It's a small but thoughtful detail that makes a significant difference when I need to grab my camera quickly for a fleeting moment. Finally, I love that the Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap does away with bulky D-rings. Instead, it connects to strap loops or the bottom of the camera body using ultra low-profile Anchor Mount hardware. This enhances the overall sleek and streamlined design while ensuring maximum functionality. In conclusion, the Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap is a must-have accessory for any photographer, amateur or professional. Its durability, versatility, and smart design features make it stand out from other camera straps on the market. Whether I'm on a casual photo walk or an intense photography expedition, this strap has proven to be a reliable companion. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a comfortable and efficient camera-carrying solution.

I bought the Slide Lite to go with my new Sony a6500 mirrorless camera. For me, the width of the strap is just right both functionally and aesthetically. It feels secure and sits comfortably either around my neck or as a sling strap (I don’t use it over one shoulder because that seems like the least secure method to me). The strap width of the Leash Lite is proportional to the size of my Sony which is more compact than a full-size DSLR. The black seat belt strapping material itself is very high quality. The sliding adjustment buckles in gun metal gray and the subtle red accents give it a handsome yet understated style. Style points are important to me. One prominent review here mentions a loosening of the base plate that goes into your camera’s tripod screw hole. This product comes with a rubbery gasket pad that is designed to add a compression/friction fit. However, even when I used that properly and really beared down on the screw, I found that it loosened a bit in a short time. It never loosened more than a 1/8 turn, but it made me nervous. I will be checking that routinely and will also see if I can find a small lock washer to keep that screw tight. I should add that I use a leather half case on my a6500. This case attaches to the camera through the same hole, and provides another “piggy back” hole for use on a tripod. Bottom line, I’m attaching the Slide Lite’s base plate to the hole on the leather case, not the camera. It may work perfectly if attached directly to the camera’s screw hole but that’s not my situation. I’m sticking with 5 stars in my rating because I’m not using the product exactly as intended, and because my issue is easily resolved by spending a few pennies on a lock washer. The Slide Lite stays on my camera almost all the time. I don’t take it off each time I put it into its case. I use an Amazon Basics sling bag and there’s just enough room for me to fit the camera and lens in there and push the loose strap in the remaining space. Other reviews say that the strap material is too stiff. Just go to your car and feel the seat belt material. If you believe that’s too stiff, then don’t be surprised when you receive your Slide Lite, because it will feel the same. To me, it’s perfect and exactly what I expected. Enough has been said to describe the design of the proprietary Anchor Link system. I will just add that my one concern before purchasing was the strength of the cords on each Anchor Link button. However when I received it and felt the stiffness and strength of that cord material, I was satisfied. It is easily sufficient for the weight of my camera even with a large lens attached. In fact it’s not just sufficient, it’s overkill but in a good, confidence-inspiring way. This is a fine product that will create additional pride of ownership every time you use it with your camera(s). To me, the price point was appropriate to the level of quality and styling it delivers. I expect to enjoy this Slide Lite for a long time.

I can't say I'm surprised with the level of quality and the fine details... $40+ bucks for a camera strap is not something I'd normally consider. But after scouring the web and finding nothing but wildly positive reviews on both the strap, the company, their values, and all of their products, plus researching used options, I ended up finding that these straps are so durable, useful, comfortable, and designed so ingeniously... (PLUS the huge % of reviews claiming that these straps are manufactured so well that it was more than they'd ever need for anything less than full-on pro equipment) meant that there is only a tiny depreciation of value overall even for items with years of use. I decided to bite the bullet and buy new. I'm happy I did. Every good thing I've read is true. I love the quality, style, the button system, the features, the versatility, the security, and anything else I might have forgotten to mention. This is one of the few companies out there today that seems to aspire to do business the way older folks fondly recall as a relic of the past... where they make their products so well that you can buy from them knowing you wont be running back to the store in 2 years for a replacement when the shoddy materials or worksmanship inevitably fails. These are the kind of products that you can almost certainly count on withstanding decades of use, possibly a whole lifetime. Their stuff is sold at a premium, but the quality says it all. I'll gladly pay 2x as much for a product that is designed to last 20x longer (or more) than the majority of stuff on the market. When you look at it that way, this stuff is a bargain compared to something you'd have to buy every couple of years when it breaks or falls apart. Just my two cents.

The color completely differs from every advertise, it's not Coyote, it's like a reflective goldish.

Excellent... No cheap but very good

Cuando veia que este articulo era tan caro, estuve mucho tiempo dudando si era caro o realmente pagabas por su calidad. Tras decidirme, he podido comprobar que es la mejor correa que he tenido nunca, tras mucho tiempo de uso continuado puedo decir sin lugar a dudas que esto es un articulo que cualquier fotógrafo o videografo necesita tener en su equipo La facilidad para cambiar si tienes varias cámaras, es asombroso. No tiene ni un roce, ni se le nota el desgaste, es impresionante, si lo llegara a perder, porque estropearse va a ser difícil...seguro volvería a comprar otra correa exactamente igual. La negra también es bonita, pero la gris me resulta muy elegante

Fantastic strap. No idea what the other reviewers are on about - the coyote colour is exactly the same as how it looks in every Peak Design image and video. My own photo attached to this review - looks great on a black Nikon.

Wirklich Top Ware. Super Qualität an der es nichts auszusetzen gibt.
