Peak Design Slide Camera Strap

Amateur photographer here. Have just been using the strap that came with my camera for years. It made me miserable because it was heavy on my neck. This one solves that problem. I can hold the camera at my hip and very easily bring it up to snap a picture. I know it's one of the most expensive straps but it's a great width, material weight and anchors.

When you want the best strap for your camera you go to the best, that's Peek Design, with their quick release snaps and adjustment versatility. It beats the "straight out of the box strap" you receive with most new cameras with a name that may be flashy but is difficult to adjust and in many cases pretty flimsy. With Peak Design you get a strap that will last a life time

Peak Design Delivers Again — The Only Strap You’ll Ever Need!I’ve tried a lot of camera straps over the years, but the Peak Design Slide SL-BK-3 is the one that finally made me stop searching. From unboxing to first use, this thing screams quality and smart design.The materials feel ultra-premium — the smooth seatbelt-style webbing glides beautifully over your clothes without catching, yet has enough grip on one side to stay put when you want it to. The hardware is all metal and feels rock solid, and the quick-adjust handles are genius. Tighten it up, loosen it out — all one-handed, super fluid, super fast.The Anchor Link system is the real game-changer. I can switch this strap between my DSLR and mirrorless bodies in seconds, or remove it entirely when I’m shooting on a tripod. No more fighting with fiddly loops or clips.It’s also incredibly comfortable for long shoots. The strap distributes weight evenly, even with a heavier setup like a 70-200mm lens. After a full day of street photography, I barely noticed the load.Stylish, sturdy, smart — Peak Design knocked it out of the park with this one.If you care about your gear and your neck/shoulders, just buy it. You won’t regret it.

I liked the first one so much that I had to purchase another one for my other camera. Hands down this is the best shoulder strap in the market.

This arrived yesterday, and today I took it on a 4 mile walk to the beach on a hot Florida day. I must say I'm very impressed with this strap. I used it in the recommended sling position, and it supports the camera very ergonomically, whether you have the camera in the front position or resting against the small of your back. Just as it says, it slides very easily when you want to raise the camera and take a photograph, and I love the hands-free when you're not using the camera. The strap holds it very securely against your body. It's a big improvement over a standard camera strap. Just scan the QR code that comes with it, and watch the setup video.

$80 for a camera strap is really outrageous. For a kit camera that costs $500, $80 is 20% of the cost of the camera, for a strap. So, I didn’t buy this strap to be trendy, I bought this strap because my other straps (pictured) are well over 20 years old. And that’s not part time use, but daily, in a variety of conditions and neither of those straps failed me, but it was time for new ones. Enter Peak Designs. I love this strap. There’s one thing missing, my old straps had little pockets for memory cards which is awesome and if Peak Design worked that in, these straps would be perfect. I love the cross body ability and that has changed how I carry my gear. I use Nikon pro body cameras (z9,d5,d4 etc) with heavy glass. These carry the weight and distribute it awesome. Since purchasing, I bought a second one at my local camera shop, I’ve done several 10+ hour events and I can say these straps made a difference. I bought them being severely biased by the workhorses I’ve used for 20 years and my mind was changed. They are very high quality. The instant adjustable buckle is really convenient and easy. Love that. The quick connect discs are wicked cool too. Love those. The length, the cross body, the materials, the innovative clips attachments and buckles, super!! Only thing missing for me, is a pocket for memory cards and of course the downside of price. But I expect, these will last 20 years just like my old ones. 1 star off for price.

The strap is super comfortable to wear. It has a rubber side and non rubber side to help with slipping. The slide adjust is super smooth and simple to use. The ability to switch cameras quickly with the quick release system is a game changer for me.

Awesome camera strap and second one for another camera. In my opinion, the quality is great and my prior strap is holding up very well and had for several years which is why I decided to buy another one for my other camera. You can't beat the style, comfort, easy locking tabs, and adjustable slides. This is by far the best strap I've owned.
