Peak Design Slide Camera Strap

As a professional photographer who spends long hours shooting in the field, I can confidently say the Peak Design Slide camera strap is the best I’ve ever used. Its build quality is exceptional, combining durable, high-grade materials with a sleek, modern design. The quick-adjust sliders allow effortless transitions between carrying styles, while the Anchor Link system makes swapping cameras or setups seamless and secure. I shoot with a Nikon D6 and a variety of lenses, and by the end of the day, it remains comfortable to carry around. Simply put, the Slide delivers the perfect balance of functionality, comfort, and style, making it an indispensable tool for any serious photographer.

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.

As a freelance photographer who's constantly on the move, I've tried a lot of camera straps over the years — most of them either cut into my shoulder after a few hours or look like they were designed in the '90s. The Peak Design Slide strap completely changed that. Pros: ✅ Comfortable even with heavier gear. I’ve used it with my Canon R5 + 70-200mm lens for full-day shoots and barely noticed the weight. ✅ Quick adjustments. The aluminum quick-pull adjusters are smooth and let me switch from shoulder to sling carry in seconds. ✅ Secure attachment. The Anchor Link system is brilliant. Fast to connect/disconnect, yet feels rock solid. ✅ Sleek design. Minimalist but premium look — doesn’t scream “camera strap,” which I appreciate. ✅ Versatile. Works well with mirrorless or DSLR, and I’ve even used it on binoculars and bags. Cons: ⚠️ Slight learning curve with the anchor system at first. Took me a minute to trust it, but now I love it. ⚠️ On the pricier side — but honestly, you get what you pay for. Bottom line: If you’re serious about photography and value both form and function, this strap is absolutely worth the investment. It's one of those rare accessories that makes shooting genuinely more enjoyable.

I do a lot of bird photography and wander through the woods with my Nikon Z8 and 180-600mm rig worn in sling style over my left shoulder and neck with the camera resting on my right hip. I have used a Black Rapid strap for the last few years but purchased this Peak Design strap after seeing the one my son purchased. This strap is much more comfortable than the BR strap. The BR strap had plastic adjuster clips that were bulky and became uncomfortable as the camera moved around during the course of a hike. Those clips also didn't stay locked and required occasional readjustments to keep the padded part of the strap on your shoulder. The Peak Design strap has re-engineered that problem with flat clips that work and don't come loose, plus the strap is wide from end to end, so it is always in a comfortable position. Also, the PD strap has a unique way it attaches to your camera that I find works much better than the BR strap and makes it easy to remove from the camera when needed. This strap seems to be a great value for the money as the materials and construction all appear to be top of the line. This delivered in beautiful packaging with extra connectors, an attachment plate for your camera if needed, an allen wrench and instructions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this strap to any of my photog friends.

Peak Design Ash Slide Camera Strap SL-AS-3 (Ash). First I want to say I don't use to write reviews but for me this product worth it because the wellness I got after buying and using it. The product arrived very fast to Colombia country and the package came fully sealed and in perfect conditions. Before buying this product I used to feel tired when carrying on heavy lenses and felt very uncomfortable after some hours of walking or hiking because the position of my oldest strap on my shoulder, neck or even my back. I'm amazed with this Peak Design Slide Strap due to many reasons, but especially for these: - the thickness of this strap is perfect for me. It seems very wide when carrying prime lenses, but the feeling is perfect. I prefer this wide strap for walking for hours in the mountain, the camera don't bother you after walking or hiking. - the interchangeable links are perfect and very versatile. You can easily move the strap position according to the situation and the lens/or even flash mounted. As you see in my photos, the long and heavy 70-200 lens fits perfectly in the correct position, on my side, and I can access easily to the camera to shot without removing the strap. - the vertical position to photograph is sooo pleasant now, the right link connected under the camera and the strap will not hinder the shooting, it was fantastic! - for me, quick removing the strap is essential because when I'm photographing I used to lie on the ground or if I am at home I like to use the camera without the strap. Or even if I'm using a tripod for landscape or portrait, the strap often gets in the way to control the camera nimbly, so now I can easily remove and put it on again. - If I remove the strap from the camera, I can connect the strap with itself by using the 4th remaining peak design link (the package included 4 links). It is perfect to avoid the strap falling down from your neck if you disconnect the camera from the links. - The strap bag can be used to store your lens or even the camera. For me, it fitted perfectly with my Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera. - The tripod connector can be moved from the camera to the lens mount easily, and even you can connect it under the camera and mount the tripod plate on your lens support (as you can see in my photos). - when I remove the strap, the links keep the aesthetic of the camera and I can use smoothly. - the adjust for enlarge-shorten of the strap is perfect and you can adjust it quickly. Perfect for walking and taking photos. In general, the product worth the money. Not a cheap product, but you are securing your expensive camera, so the cost-benefit is perfect. Thank you.

This strap is almost flawless. Its smooth operation, robust build, and clever design make it a joy to use. However, a minor quibble with the adhesive and a hefty price tag prevent it from achieving true greatness. This strap is a dream to adjust. The sliding mechanism is incredibly intuitive, allowing for quick transitions between shooting styles. The materials feel premium and durable, promising years of reliable use. The clever anchor system is also a standout feature, easily attaching and detaching from your camera without fuss. Where the Slide falls short is in its value proposition. While undeniably well-made, the price is steep. Furthermore, a tiny amount of additional adhesive on the shoulder pad would significantly improve comfort and prevent slippage, especially during prolonged use. This seemingly minor upgrade would elevate the strap from "very good" to "unbeatable." In short: If you're willing to pay a premium for top-notch quality and convenience, the Peak Design Slide is a worthy investment. Just be prepared for the price tag, and maybe pack some extra adhesive to enhance the comfort. Four stars – a testament to its quality, but a slight deduction for the cost and the missed opportunity to perfect the shoulder pad.

Great for my D800 even with the big 600mm on it. Easy to adjust Comfortable Secure Easy to remove- comes some cool accessories.

Well, Peak Design, basically put every other strap maker else out of business. Not that it was a healthy business to be in with Iphones and slowing camera sales. But nonetheless a great and durable strap.

これまで使用したストラップのなかで段違いの使い易さ、安心感、使い心地。 幅広ストラップのため、フルサイズ一眼レフに望遠ズームを付けたようなシチュエーションでも肩に優しく、なんと言っても着脱容易なアタッチメントが秀逸。 値段は高いが十二分に満足です。

Muy bueno. Resistente y muy práctico para alargarlo y achicarlo.

Excellent system to carry the camera. Works as advertised.

Material y calidad. Muy bien. Más cómoda que la original de Nikon (en mi caso) la suavidad del material y el grosor hacen que sea más placentero llevar cámara y teleobjetivo. No digo que quite peso, que no, pero la sensación es diferente.

Sehr bequem und angenehm zu tragen
