Slide Lite Camera Strap, Black, Configurable as a Sling, Neck or Shoulder Strap, Quick Release and Connection, Smooth and Grippy Side, Camera Straps for Photographers, 200 lb Capacity

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.

Hey fellow shutterbugs! If you're scoping out the scene for camera straps and landed on the Peak Design Slide Lite, let me share a slice of my experience. Now, I get it, the price tag may give you a bit of a pause. I mean, it's just a strap, right? But trust me when I say, this isn’t just any strap. It's like comparing an off-the-rack shirt with a tailored suit. First up, the build quality. It's like the Rolls-Royce of camera straps. The stitching, the materials, the little design nuances – everything screams premium. This isn't one of those 'use-and-throw-after-a-few-months' kind of deals. We're talking long-term commitment. Now, to the real-world application. I've been romancing the streets with my Panasonic LUMIX S5 IIX (what a camera, right?), trying to capture the essence of the hustle and bustle. The whole run-and-gun street photography thing can be super demanding, and you need gear that's up to the challenge. Enter the Slide Lite. The way it allows you to swiftly slide and reposition your camera? Pure gold! You're always ready for that split-second moment. The strap also distributes the weight of the camera brilliantly, which means no more awkward neck cramps or shoulder pains after a long day out shooting. Plus, the slick black look is both subtle and stylish – it doesn't scream "look at me!" but has that cool, understated elegance. So, bottom line? If you're teetering on the fence because of the price, just take the leap. It's an investment in comfort, functionality, and style. And if you're as passionate about your photography as I am, you know it's worth every penny. Happy shooting, folks! 🖤📷🌆

This is the second Peak Design product I've purchased. I bought their V1 Everyday Backpack about a month ago and I was so incredibly impressed with the quality, function, and thoughtfulness of the design that I wanted to see how their other products stacked up. I normally detest camera straps, but I think my distaste comes from poorly thought-out and uncomfortable "first-party" straps. I've used a BlackRapid strap for awhile and while it's way better than a "in-the-box" stock strap I still didn't enjoy a few things about it. I figured the price was right on the Slide Lite strap so I gave it a go, expecting that quality and design might push me into using it regularly/frequently. I was correct in that assumption. This is a well put together strap that's versatile and effective. It's not perfect and I have a single complaint that I think deducts a star, but it's nearly perfect for me and my needs. I have the Slide Lite and the anchors set up for cross-body carry. One anchor on the left of the camera body and one on the right side of the Peak Design tripod plate. (OK, so, technically this is my 3rd Peak Design product. I bought the plate, too. It's also awesome.) I set it up to sling to my right hip and the first adjustment buckle pretty squarely in my chest. It's incredibly easy to grab the buckle, "open" it and lengthen or shorten the strap as necessary. The material is a smooth and tough material that's not unlike a seatbelt. In fact, I'd rather that seatbelts were made out of this stuff. There's a rubberized/grippy coating on one side so it can be flipped and the strap won't glide around on your clothing nearly as much. That would be nice if you want the camera and strap to stay more "static" with less sway. Say you're climbing around on some rocks or something for the perfect angle of that waterfall and you don't want the camera swaying around much. Tighten the strap close to your body and flip it over. The strap won't glide and the camera will be hugging your body; BOOM: more secure. So, my only complaint here comes in with the anchors and where they have to slot in. They're a little bit difficult to slot in and remove on this strap. There isn't much room between the actual strap material and the anchor's "hook" to fit the anchor disk in. I mean, it definitely FITS, it's just that another 5mm of wiggle room would make it way easier to get in and out in a hurry. The Everyday Backpack I bought came with a key tether and an anchor for your keyring so I was already familiar with the system. The key tether has a much bigger area on the "hook" to get the anchor inside and it's effortless. The actual strap itself is RIGHT UP against where the anchor disk has to go to slot in and it's a tight fit. I uploaded some photos to make more sense of my dumb explanation. The bummer here is that the original Slide strap has a wider area for the anchor disks, but I wanted the smaller Slide Lite strap since I carry a mirrorless camera. My only complaint is still not enough to dissuade me from using the strap. As dumb as this sounds, using this strap has gotten me photos I wouldn't have ordinarily gotten because it is easy and comfortable to wear. My camera is more accessible while slung around me instead of in my backpack.

I have been using this strap for several months to make sure I could provide the most accurate feedback possible. First off, I got the Lite, so it's thinner and less bulky than its counterpart. I ordered not knowing there was a difference. This one is very slim and low profile but can get a little uncomfortable over a long time or with a heavier camera. Thankfully, my cameras are not very heavy so that has been less a concern. The best part about Peak Design gear, is that everything is designed to work with everything else. I have the wrist strap too and the quick disconnect tabs works flawlessly between the wrist strap and the camera strap and work among my various cameras as well. Very pleased with that aspect alone. Furthermore, the quality is something I would expect from a top tier brand and I am very pleased with the products from Peak Design in general. Whether you just have one camera, or several, Peak Design is a modular system that you can invest in and be happy about knowing you have quality gear for the occasion. The only negative feedback I could think of is, while using the strap in cross-body carry, the strap get in the way of the fold out screen on my Sony a7IV. My Nikon doesn't have a flip out screen so this was not an issue with that camera. The solution was easy enough, the strap is easy to adjust and I just have to give myself a little more strap to compensate. Funny enough, that feature is built-in to the strap by design, so it is definitely not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of when setting up your gear.

This strap is of noticeably high quality. Its materials are sturdy and I'm confident it will last for long time. 1. Ease of Use: its clip-on and clip-off system is incredibly easy to use, which is something I really like. It is not too thick/heavy and not too slim, which would make it uncomfortable. The slide feature is good, and it is easy to adjust the strap's length, if that's something that you need on a regular basis. 2. Quality: the product overall is of high quality. The unboxing was also an interesting experience, since it included a few other items which surprised me: it comes with extra clips (assuming you are a normal person and will eventually lose one, it's nice to have a replacement at hand) as well as a body-clip that allows you to attach your camera to tripods (very neat). 3. Comfort: as I said, it is not a thick/heavy strap, which I like. However, the fabric is rather tough (similar to a car's seat belt), thus I think the strap could be more wee bit more comfortable if the fabric was softer, more malleable. Perhaps it would lose some degree of sturdiness/durability, but it would depend on which type of client Peak Design is looking to satisfy. I'm very satisfied with this product and definitely recommend it.

These are my favorite quick straps. I used to be nervous about having the camera on the strap for security, this strap is quite good quality, has wear marks well in advance of losing strength so you can replace the ends, and the snap design is fantastic. The versatility in this strap has kept me coming back as a customer.
