Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap

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.

Like most other photographers, I had heard many good things about Peak Design's straps, but I never felt inclined to spend the money. After a while with the strap that was included with my Sony A6700, I decided I had to replace it. The strap was poor quality, it scratched my neck when I wore it (which means I didn't wear it often enough), and when I wanted to remove the strap when at home, it was a real pain. I bought the Peak Design Slide Lite to solve those problems, and it delivered on all fronts! First off, the Peak Design quick connectors are great! They are fast and easy to attach and detach from the strap, and when they're attached, they're rock solid. They don't wiggle, and I'm never afraid my camera is going to come loose. They are made of a hard plastic, and they do dangle on the camera when the strap isn't attached. If you shoot a lot of video, just know that you might want to remove the quick connects so they don't rattle against the camera frame and impact your audio. (Removing them is very easy.) The strap itself is made of the same material as a seat belt in a car. The Slide Lite doesn't have a padded portion where it sits on your neck like the regular Slide does, but it's still very comfortable! For a light rig like the A6700 with a decent sized lens, the Slide Lite is perfect. On each side of the strap, you'll find the strap adjusters. While these might look like any other adjuster you've seen, there are two key differences that make these superior. First, the ends of the strap are permanently attached to the bottom of each buckle. Second, the metal locking clasp is sized so it's easy to pull, and it locks into place with a satisfying click. This means that when you pull up on the metal clasp and pull up or down to adjust the strap, it slides easily for just the adjustment you need, and because the strap terminates at the buckle, you don't have to deal with slack strap that gets in the way. It's a great design, and it makes adjustments fast and easy. Making adjustments quick and easy is really a key feature of this strap because it lets you use the strap in multiple ways. You can just it as a traditional neck strap. You can also use it over the shoulder, a move that may require you to quickly add a little length with a quick adjustment. When you do use it over the shoulder, you can flip the part of the strap that sits on your shoulder and take advantage of the rubberized material that is incorporated into the strap so it doesn't slip off your shoulder. That rubberized material is normally on the outside of the strap so you can easily move the strap around when shooting (it doesn't get caught on your clothes), but by flipping the strap over when shoulder mounted, it keeps the camera firmly in place. You can also adjust for more length and use the strap across your chest with the camera stowed in the 3-4 (or 8-9 if you're a lefty) o'clock position near your belt. This is best done using the included bracket that mounts to the tripod socket. Using this bracket, one of the quick connectors is attached to the side of the camera and another is attached to the bracket in the tripod mount. Because Peak Design includes additional connectors with the strap, you can actually have two connectors on each side of your camera and one in the bracket so that you can easily switch between carrying modes as you see fit. If you frequently use a tripod with your camera, you can purchase the Peak Design ARCA-Swiss plate so you can attach it to your tripod even when a quick connector is attached to the bottom of the camera. I can usually find something I don't like about most things I buy, but I really can't think of anything I don't like about the Slide Lite. It exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommended.

What I love about the Slide Lite: I'm just an amateur photographaer , a poor one at that but I can recognize a nice strap when I see one. This strap has high versatility (Sling, Neck, Shoulder): The ability to instantly switch between sling, neck, and shoulder carry modes is a game-changer. The genius lies in the dual-sided webbing – one smooth side that glides effortlessly for quick camera access in sling mode, and a grippy, silicone-lined side that keeps the camera securely in place on your shoulder. This adaptability means I can adjust my carry style to suit any shooting situation, from quick street photography to longer hiking excursions. I have it in the sage color and I love the color. For me Peak Design's Anchor Link system is simply revolutionary. It's brilliant. The quick-release mechanism is incredibly secure, yet allows for near-instant attachment and detachment of the strap. This is a massive benefit when I want to use my camera on a tripod without the strap getting in the way, or quickly swap the strap between different camera bodies or even lenses. The Anchor Links themselves are incredibly strong, rated for up to 200 lbs, providing immense peace of mind. Plus, the updated design with visible wear indicators (black, yellow, red layers) is a thoughtful touch for safety. Comfort Without Bulk: Despite its robust build, the Slide Lite remains relatively lightweight and comfortable. The internally-padded webbing distributes weight effectively, preventing that dreaded neck or shoulder strain, even during extended shooting or carrying sessions. It strikes a fantastic balance, offering ample support without being overly bulky, which is perfect for lighter cameras. Effortless Adjustability: The quick-pull adjusters are incredibly intuitive and allow for rapid length adjustments with just one hand. Whether I'm cinching it up for a more secure carry while moving, or loosening it to bring the camera to my eye, the process is smooth and seamless. Premium Build Quality: From the seatbelt-style nylon webbing to the anodized aluminum and glass-reinforced nylon hardware, every component of the Slide Lite exudes quality. It feels durable and well-made, assuring me that it will stand up to the rigors of regular use for years to come. The Verdict: The Peak Design Slide Lite camera strap is an absolute winner. It's clear that a lot of thought and innovation went into its design. If you're looking for a versatile, comfortable, secure, and incredibly well-made camera strap that will significantly improve your photography workflow, the Slide Lite is an investment you won't regret. It truly lives up to Peak Design's reputation for creating radical, lifetime-lasting gear.

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.

This strap is built like a tank. Absolutely top notch construction, looks like it could be used to tow a pickup truck without breaking. And it's gorgeous too. You definitely will go out in style when you wear this thing. Truly the kind of thing you love to look at and hold. And yeah, I know, it's just a strap. The quick-adjust clamps are easy to use and allows you to change the length quickly and with little fuss, although I'm not sure how often I'll need to change the length. The little clips on the end (called anchor links) are easy to use and make it a breeze to disconnect the strap when you want to use it on a tripod, switch the strap to another camera, or if you want to reconfigure it to sling mode. And the grippy strips on the shoulder area are really quite grippy! In most ways, it's everything they advertise. But there are a couple of minor issues. One is the size of the strap. At 1.25" wide, it's significantly larger than any other strap I've had for my GH5 camera. The "Slide Light" is advertised as being for mirrorless cameras, and thus smaller than the "Slide" model. But believe me, this strap is large enough, and certainly much more than strong enough for a full frame DSLR with a honkin' lens. My GH5 is one of the larger mirrorless cameras out there, and I think I could have easily gotten away with the smaller "Leash" model. I suspect that the extra width is to spread out the weight on the shoulder for more comfort. Other straps avoid the extra-large-strap syndrome by adding a wider pad at the shoulder, keeping the main part of the strap narrower, lighter, and more flexible. This strap is nearly as large and thick as the seat belt in my car. The other minor issue is the way they advertise the use of one of the anchor links on the bottom of the camera for use in sling mode. The sling mode is an excellent feature that lets the lens of the camera hang down along your body, rather than sticking out like it tends to do in neck-strap mode. They include a small low-profile plate for the bottom of the camera to let you attach an anchor link to it. But the video on their website states that the new design of these anchor links has a thinner cord which is compatible with any tripod plate. Their definition of compatible is clearly different from mine. They show how you basically clamp the anchor link's cord between the tripod plate and the bottom of the camera. It works, but my tripod plate ends up tilted slightly because the cord obviously cannot be completely compressed down to nothing when tightening the tripod plate. I had to end up using a Dremel tool to grind away part of my tripod plate to allow the use of the anchor link in that way. Again, these are pretty minor issues for an extremely well built and stylish strap. I'd highly recommend it to anyone, but keep in mind you might want to get a smaller version than you think you need based on their advertisements.

This is o much better than the default strap that shipped with my Sony RX-10M5! Comfortable, easily adjustable and easy to disconnect the strap from the camera. You may be able to get cheaper but you can't get better, IMHO.

This strap rocks. The system is easy-peasy. The adjuster buckles are like the best I’ve ever used on anything. And it’s beautiful and comfortable!

This is amazing! I should have bought this a long time ago. I love the quick adjustment straps. So easy to fit how you want. Love the grip side too. Its perfect!!

Biraz ağır olsa da sağlam ve pratik, kamera taşımayı kolay hale getiriyor

Price: lowest in the town Delivery: fastest in the town (free next day delivery) Quality: Authentic Product review: only worry about the small base plate. It doesn't use a D-ing to lock the screw. I acknowledge someone got dropped the camera due to the stupid round body screw loose.

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
