Jonathan R : Is the Charcoal color the Black? I see it called Black everywhere else and don’t see a Charcoal version.WILLIAM E T : Yes, the one I got is black and it said charcoal when I ordered.Alessandro M : indeed it is black with red buttons
SUZETTE E : Will this work on a Canon Powershot G7 x Mark III? It has a really small hole to attach the strap to. Thank you.
Shopper : What’s the difference between slide lite and leash?MEL C : The leash is smaller, thinner and has different length adjustment sysyem. It's for smaller, lighter cameras, vs large DSLR's.MICHAEL L : The slide lite is wider than the leash and the hardware for changing the length of the straps are different. I have the regular slide and the leash. I like how compact the leash is. Fits in my pocket. On the other hand, not as much support. I’ve used it with my Nikon D500 with an attached grip and a 70-200m f/2.8 lens. It did work but the slide worked better. If you have a small camera and lens ... the leash works great.

So much better than typical OEM camera straps

It is so much better than the typical OEM camera straps. Love the quick release anchors and the quick adjustment for size. Whish they didn't provide straps when buying a camera as the original straps stay in a drawer never used and I only use the Peak design.

Best strap

I brought this a few weeks ago. It's brilliant - robust and super light , easy to adjust. Everyone I've shown it to wants one. Couldn't be happier with it.

Versatile and sleek!

I have been using this for a month now and couldn't imagine going back to my previous strap at this point! The Peak anchor quick connect system is great, I can securely carry my camera on the strap when needed but can easily disconnect for when I would like to not be tethered. The leash is the perfect size for my X-T30 - not too bulky so it fits in my compact bag but provides enough support. Being able to adjust the length is a great perk!

Great adjustable Strap.

I already own the slide and initially ordered the slide light for my X2D II. I sent back the slide light, which is a fantastic strap, only to order the Leash. If you're looking for a small adjustable strap, the Leash should be on your List. I love it! Wasn't sure about the adjustiert function, but it works fantastically well.

Love the quick-connecting and quick-adjusting!!

I purchased both the Leash and Slide Lite straps. They seemed a little pricey, but I was able to find them on sale at Best Buy. They are absolutely worth it. As a lover of quick-adjusting straps on back packs, guitar straps, camera straps and beyond; these have made it a breeze to carry my cameras. I would highly recommend both products.

Peak Design Camera Strap

I was hunting for a longer strap for my camera. The Peak Design products came highly recommended. This strap fits exactly the way I wanted. It is not very heavy, and the Peak Design connectors allow for quick changes between cameras or between their products.

As always? quality Peak Design

High quality, as always with Peak Design. Only downside is that when used on a lighter camera (mirrorless body with a pancake lens, for example), it's not heavy enough to allow for the one finger pull. Perhaps it will loosen up over time? TBD.

Trust your gut. Purchase one today

After lots of research, I had to purchase one. I made the mistake of purchasing others from different brands and they do not compare at all. I've wasted money and frustrated with myself for not trusting my gut instinct from the start. I will always purchase straps from them and love the build quality

Third Strap is a Charm! Like Two previous!

This is my third Peak Design camera strap! They never disappoint. This is for my smallest camera, so I ordered the ultralight. They make it so easy to "install" the strap on the camera, and I love the quick and easy anchor installation system! They include a handy tool should it be necessary for a secure connection, and if this one is anything like my other two straps on my other bodies, it will last forever! The quality of the strap exudes excellence!

Bad shipping service and received broken packaging

I bought a Leash midnight color in Oct 31st but my item was delivered in Nov 12th. The peak design packaging was damaged and opened. I could not use this product for my travel trip since it's delivered late.

Keeps my iPhone ready to take photos!

When I am hiking or kayaking, I often miss a shot because I have to dig my phone out of a zipped pocket, a backpack, a dry bag. My iPhone is in a PD loop case, and I finally went "doh!" I can get the Leash and have my phone as available as my camera attached to a capture clip by attaching the Leash to the case. I hang my phone around my neck daily on my dog walks. Love having my phone camera always at the ready.

Sturdy and simple to adjust

This strap is very comfortable for my entry level DSLR. For heavier cameras you may want a thicker strap. I love how simple it is to pop on and off the camera. It's also quick to adjust which is nice.

Comfortable Do-It-All

Ever since I bought this Leash, it's the only neck strap I carry. I've used it to carry multiple things in a single trip: binoculars at first, then switching to my drone controller, and sometimes to my camera. It has become "The Strap" I pack, instead of having separate straps on each item. Less mess. It's as important as my belt (ok, almost as important...).

Good strap but the orange is not bright like photo

I really like the comfort and usability of this strap. I chose it because my partner also uses Peak straps, so we can pass cameras and binoculars back and forth with ease. However, I ordered the bright orange (Ibis) strap, and it's really not very bright. It's more like a salmon pinkish orange. I do like it, but I really wish it were as bright as the photos on the page show it to be.

One of my favorite straps

Great strap, and looks nice on a wide variety of cameras. It's the main strap that I use, and I like the small sizes. Also works great as a strap for my camera cube when converting it to a "sling"

Wonderful option to carry my camera

A strap that feels nice and simple, but the length adjustment design also makes it feel special. The first thing is that this uses Peak Design Anchors which are also kind of amazingly simple and effective. Once you start putting Anchors "everywhere" you can easily hot-swap how you carry something. In my case it's a camera. I found that sometimes I like using the Cuff, especially when I'm trying to minimise the camera setup to be as small as possible. It also feels a little bit more stylish. But sometimes I want to use the Leash so that the camera is more ready to take a photo. You can still wrap the Leash around your hand to make it act like a Cuff, but it's a little less comfortable. I also found the Leash more of the default carry option during Winter, when it's a little harder to use my Capture attached to my belt because my jacket will usually be covering my belt.

Warranty Replacement Leash

I wrote in to PD asking about the rust on my Leash buckle that I purchased 13 years ago through the Kickstarter campaign, and was encouraged to fill up a warranty claim. Next thing I know a brand new latest version of the Leash was delivered to me. That's what lifetime warranty is about, and I love it!

Use this one for my phone

Couple of anchors on the bottom of my phone case allow this leash to carry my phone conveniently over my shoulder. Pull tabs on leash allow for instant length adjustments so I can tuck phone under my arm or hold out in front for imaging. Sage green compliments my PD phone case nicely.

Excellent Camera Strap

I ordered this and it's the best strap I've ever bought. This is a lighter thinner version of their premium strap but it does not compromise in quality, durability, or functionality at all. I use this primarily with older film cameras as I do not need their most heavy duty strap for this purpose. Also, I recently purchased additional anchors to use across several of my SLR cameras. I highly recommend this strap. I plan to buy another just to have.

Perfect carry for average size camera

A year ago I bought the Slide version and liked it a lot. Recently I got a second camera body, and realized I didn't need the sturdier Slide with the smaller, lighter of the two cameras. I use the Slide with my Z8 and long lens, and the Leash with my Z7ii and 24-70 lens. Perfect!

About Peak Design Leash

PRO REVIEW by Mathias Wasik, Photographer

"I've tried many camera straps before, but the Peak Design Leash really gives others a run for their money. Love that I can quickly adjust the length of the strap or disconnect the camera in seconds if needed."

The Leash Camera Strap in Charcoal is the epitome of versatility and innovation, designed for photographers who demand both agility and reliability from their gear. This ultra-lightweight strap is the world's most adaptable camera accessory, effortlessly transforming to suit any camera and any shooting scenario. Whether you require a sling strap for on-the-go shots, a traditional neck strap for stability, or a shoulder strap for comfort, the Leash Camera Strap meets your needs with ease.

Crafted for a wide range of applications, the Leash isn't limited to cameras alone. Its universal design allows for seamless connection to various equipment, including binoculars, tripods, and rangefinders, enhancing its utility for all your photographic endeavors. However, it's important to note that while the Leash is incredibly versatile, it is not intended for carrying children.

As a safety tether, the Leash Camera Strap offers an extra layer of security, particularly for users of the Capture Camera Clip system. By attaching one end of the Leash to your camera and the other to a secure point, such as a belt loop or backpack, you can shoot with confidence, even in challenging environments. This feature is especially valuable when capturing images in locations where dropping your camera could be disastrous.

For videographers, the Leash doubles as an effective stabilizer strap. By applying tension, you can significantly reduce the shakiness of handheld footage, ensuring smoother, more professional-looking video captures.

Adjustability is a key feature of the Leash Camera Strap, with a broad range of lengths from 33 inches (84 cm) to 60 inches (152 cm), thanks to a durable, glass-reinforced nylon sliding adjuster. When utilized as a safety tether, it can be shortened to 19 inches (48 cm), providing a snug and secure fit.

The Leash Camera Strap is designed for quick and effortless connection and removal, featuring the patent-pending Anchor Link connection system. This innovative design allows for one-handed operation, making it a breeze to attach or detach the strap as needed.

Despite its robust functionality, the Leash Camera Strap is incredibly compact. The slim hardware and 3/4 inch webbing are designed to fold neatly into your pocket, purse, or camera bag, ensuring that it's always within reach as a convenient spare strap.

For photographers who prioritize simplicity and efficiency, the Leash Camera Strap is the ideal choice. It eschews unnecessary frills in favor of a minimalist design that focuses on essential features in a compact, ultralight package.

Engineered for speed, strength, and comfort, the strap's seatbelt-style webbing is smooth to the touch, allowing for quick camera access without snagging on clothing. The strap's durability is unquestionable, with the capacity to support any professional camera, lens, and accessory combination. The upgraded Dyneema-corded Anchors are a testament to the strap's strength, each capable of supporting over 90 kg (200 lbs) and boasting exceptional abrasion resistance.

In summary, the Leash Camera Strap in Charcoal is a masterclass in design efficiency, offering photographers a multifunctional, secure, and comfortable carrying solution for their valuable equipment.
