Questions & Answers

PHILIP F : will the included qr plate work with the PD capture clip?
Shopper : Will it slide if worn under a small backpack?S S : It may. I couldn't tell you for sure but it is made of material that slides very well. That said I don't wear it under anything but rather over.BRIAN K : Its basically a great camera strap. The slide part is the two adjustable metal parts on the strap which have a lever that lift up and you can quickly pull and adjust the length from long to short. It's greatBARRY W : Peak Designs makes great products that are well engineered. I have been purchasing their photography accessories since their first product launched on Kickstarter. Regarding your specific question; while their engineering and design utility is great; Peak Design has not (to my knowledge) found a way to overcome the physics of friction.ANGEL G : Hello fellow photographer, The sling is reversible. One side is plain nylon so you can slide your camera while working. The other side has some silicon gripping on it to prevent sliding. This is Is the best neck strap I have ever owned period. The clipping system allows you to use the strap with different cameras in seconds. It looks very professsional and it is well made.FLETCHER T : It does not slide especially if I put the strap across my chest.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Carmela G : I already have two of these Camera Straps, and in my opinion, best strap on the market. I have tried several other straps, and this is my favorite.ROBERT D : Great looking strap that is easy to change and adaptable for sling and front uses. Slight modification to my Nikon D7100 eyelet allowed me to have the PD clutch strap and this strap on the camera at the same time. So far, working well.

Performs and looks great

Grabbed this to use with my Lumix G95 when paired with the battery grip *and* a zoom lens. Insofar it's too much strap for such a small set-up, but at least the grippy part makes sure that the camera doesn't swing around when I have it over the shoulder like a sling, which is great! I love being able to put it to the side like it's a sling, I'm kinda annoyed that the strap gets in the way of the viewfinder, but I've yet to try the screw mount point so that should alleviate that particular issue. Anyways, the color looks great, and if you're using MFT, I'd suggest this over the Cuff if you're using a larger camera.

Great service after 10 years of use

Peak Design replaced my 10-year old strap under warranty, and even though I live in South Africa, the PD team treated me like a VIP. It's so refreshing that a company has this level of passion for servicing customers regardless of where they live in the world.

Awesome Strap System

Awesome strap. Super easy to use and comfortable. Quick locks work amazingly well and makes switching gear super fast.

Worth the money!

Such a cut above the rest. I've been carrying cameras around my neck for over thirty years and this is by far the most comfortable and easy to adjust carry strap I've ever used. The material is verrrrry soft and feels like it's derrived from the same material used to make premium seatbelts, just a little thicker and more comfortable. I'll be using this carry strap for a long time to come.

Great all-around, comfortable strap

As the title says. The Slide is a wonderfully comfortable strap and it looks good too! The only complaint I have is that the padding is ironically too thick, making it difficult to store. I wish there is an unpadded version that has the same width so it is more storable.

Comfortable but not rugged for outdoor...

After 3 years of use carrying cameras and big lenses from Antarctica shore to remote tropical Islands what I can say is : 1. the fabric connection between the sling and the anchor point is tearing apart and will likely soon break, hopefully my camera won't fall with it... 2. The metal spring-like part of the anchoring system is rusted, since the black paint felt due to friction, stainless steel would have been a better choice of material for this part. Just be aware it's a very comfortable and smart sling system but definitely not rugged enough if you are a professional wildlife/outdoor filmmaker, as intensive use will quickly damage it. I'll soon have to replace it but I'll likely choose a military-grade sling system this time.

Very nice

This is a recent purchase for a planned trip in a couple months. Peak even sent video links on how to use the Slide properly, helping you get familiar with it. The overall design versus comfort was surprisingly better than I anticipated. Looking forward to putting the Slide into use. Customer service was also consulted prior to purchase and was very helpful.

Comfortable, durable, classy

I've used a pair of Slide straps for several years now with complete satisfaction. The material is comfortable and strong, the quick-detach mechanism is easy and secure, and the look is classy and professional without being attention-grabbing (I love quality leather goods, but since I'm not a full-time wedding/event photographer, those double leather rigs would be over the top for me). PD's warranty service is great as well.

Game changer compared to standard camera strap

I was advised to get a better strap on a day with a wildlife photographer and what a difference it makes. The slide is effortless to bring up to a shooting position and so easy to change fitting points when I am using a large zoom lens. Highly recommend.

Great design , , so easily adjusted

I boughtvthe peak design slide as I like the idea of easily removing the strap from the anchors when I'm on the tripod or at home and don't need the strap fitted , sometimes the original strap gets in the way. I love the peak design strap , it's fabulously user friendly , easy to adjust , easy to attach and detach from the camera... such a lovely bit of kit .

Professional and Rugged

Yes this camera strap is expensive but with the Peak Design quick release anchor link you get two in one. Personal the Slide is a good size for my full frame camera but feels a little on the large size for my film camera.

Good quality, but not as special as I'd hoped

After reading and seeing so many positive reviews for the Peak Slide, I bought one. Honestly, I was disappointed. It is incredibly well made, but I don't see the point in it. It's bulky and inflexible and hard to store. I like to wrap the strap around the camera/lens and stick it in a bag - you can't do this with the Peak Slide. The padding means it won't scrunch or roll up nicely, and the metal bits scratch the camera if you store it with it. It's also no wider than the strap that came with my camera, so no more comfortable on a long hike, for example. The quick-release bits are great (although I much prefer the SmallRig ones), but they can be bought separately and used with any old strap - which is what I recommend. Overall, it's over-engineered and largely unnecessary, but it may suit your needs perfectly. Just not mine!

Sore Necks of the World Unite

I had been suffering with my original strap and then bought a generic cross body strap that made my camera heavier and more cumbersome. I have been in the market for the past several months for what I thought was impossible, a simple and elegant strap that looks and feels good. The Slide strap not only met but blew my expectations out of the water, and I can't wait for my next adventure to really put it to the test! The way it attaches to the camera body (and the options they give you) are dead simple but are insanely secure, no added weight to the camera body and the quick release to change your carry config is a godsend. Can't recommend this enough, you won't be disappointed!

The best camera strap on the market

Over the last thirty years I used lots of camera straps. What makes Peak Design strap unique and most useful is its anchor: it makes it easier to swap the strap between several bodies. I usually carry two and sometimes three camera bodies, all have L-brackets with Peak Design anchors attached. I can quickly attach the strap to the body and continue taking pictures.

Worthy of the Investment You Made in Your Camera

I purchased this strap for my Mamiya 7 camera. I've owned the camera for more than 20 years, so I've been through numerous straps before buying my first Peak Design strap. I can confidently say this will be the last strap I have to purchase for that camera. My camera is not small or lightweight, but the Slide strap supports the camera well. I love that I can easily carry it in crossbody-style and protect my spine. When I use the strap in conjunction with the Peak Design Capture Clip and Pro Pad, it feels like I'm not carrying anything. Camera straps are one of those products that are often so cheaply made they're nearly disposable. This is not that camera strap. When I purchase a Peak Design product, I know I'm making an investment in an item that can last a lifetime if properly cared for. From marketing to training materials to the research and design that went into creating and refining the product, this strap was clearly made by people who use these products in their daily lives and understand how they need to perform. Every detail about the Slide strap, from the width, length, and strength of the strap, the placement of the padding, and the ease of using the innovative connection points, confirms the intentional design and manufacturing choices that went into the product development - that's why this product is worth the investment.

Excellent Camera Strap

I recently purchased an Ash coloured Slide. The quality of this product is excellent. I have used it a number of times and the quick attach/detach clips make it very easy to use. As the name says, it allows your camera to slide easily from your hip to your face. Overall I am extremely happy with my latest purchase from peak Design.

Cinghia veramente robusta e pensata per far lavorare bene il fotografo, la utilizzo da 1 mese e ne sono davvero soddisfatto. Peccato che per gli europei i prezzi sono più alti.

Great for everyrhing

I like to use my slide for my camera, but also as the belt that holds my camera bag as well, with the clip on hook it is so easy to switch from one to the other. I also like how the slide quickly adjust to different length for different scenarios. Great product !

It's a must have for comfortable carrying !

I use it in sling mode and carried my R6 with 24-105 lens all day - uphill and down dale. and the rig is up by my eye ready to shoot in a second. When the weather gets rough I simply unclip from the camera and clip to camera bag and use it instead if the thin standard bag strap.

SUPER SLIDE

By Eugene C.

I have never imagined the Slide to be this good~ I have tons of camera straps from Nikon original straps to matin and BlackRapid double breath. None of them gave me the long hour comfortability that PD Slide provide. It's easy to access to camera and comfortable to sit on my neck or shoulder all day long. I don't even have to worry it slipping off my shoulder like the rest of straps that I own. Hands down to PD! What an awesome and innovative design to add to the product.

Great strap

By Eric C.

So worry before I placed the order but definitely worth the price tag. Very comfortable and feel no stress either neck carry or sling style configurations.

The Peak Design Slide Premium Camera Sling/Shoulder/Neck Strap is an adjustable camera strap that can be worn as a sling, shoulder, or neck strap. It features Peak Design's unique Anchor Link system to quickly attach and detach the strap from your camera. Two latches on the strap allow for one-handed adjustment to the strap's length from 39" to 54".

To wear the Slide as a sling-style strap, one side of the strap attaches to the included Arca-type compatible QR plate on the bottom of the camera and the other attaches to the standard strap loop on the top. One side of the strap is smooth, so that you can easily slide your camera up to your eye when using the strap as a sling. The other side has a gripped surface for using the Slide as a shoulder or neck strap. The Slide is compatible with all versions of Peak Design's Capture camera clips.

  • Peak Design Slide Premium Camera Sling/Shoulder/Neck Strap
  • Standard Plate
  • 4x Anchor Links
  • Peak Design Lifetime Limited Warranty
