Peak Design. Strong, reliable and practical.
Excellent camera strap. Great that it can be so easily swapped between cameras.Superbly made, very adjustable and nonslip, which is always a bonus.

Thoughtful design, great for carrying a heavy camera.
If appearance matters this is a very smart, silky looking strap. I really like the Midnight Blue colour. It is so distinctive that on my first outing with it I noticed another photographer wearing exactly the same strap - it was the colour, silkiness, and leather highlights that made it instantly identifiable at a distance.But looks don’t really matter; is it worth the money and does it do what it’s supposed to do?For many years I’ve been carrying my Canon dSLR and 100-400mm lens around in my hand with the strap wrapped around my wrist for security. I’m getting on a bit and on a day out having 4lbs weight hanging from my wrist for hours at a time was getting a bit tiring, so I searched for a solution and the Peak Design strap popped onto my radar.It’s expensive. Other people do similar things for less. But there are several features worthy of note.There are some rubber bits on one side of the middle of the strap. When the strap is twisted so that these are facing down, they act as resistance to movement and stop the strap sliding around. When on the top of the strap then the silky side of the strap is against clothing and slides easily so there is no resistance when lifting the camera to the eye.The attachment lugs (three are supplied) clip into the ends of the strap easily, and attach to the normal strap mounting points on the camera. I find them a bit fiddly to remove because the plastic button that you have to press down is shiny and has nothing to grip against the finger. It has to be pressed down with a little force (against a spring) and then slid out of the mount on the end off the strap. A metal attachment for the third lug is supplied to fix to the tripod screw thread. Attaching the strap to one side lug and this base lug means that longer lenses hang down and are more comfortably carried. This works very well. The problem is I had to remove my tripod quick release plate in order to install the strap mounting point. I use the strap more than a tripod so it isn’t a major problem, and Peak Design sell a Manfrotto compatible mounting plate for lug attachment - but that’s an additional expense.In between camera use I found that the camera wouldn’t stay at my back but would slide around to my hip where it was less comfortable. The rubber bits may have stopped this creep but I needed quick access to get the camera to shooting position.In conclusion I have to say that this strap is the best money I’ve ever spent on an accessory. Despite the couple of niggles it makes carrying a heavy camera almost effortless. It’s comfortable to wear and the camera is as easy to lift to my eye as when I was carrying it in my hand.Highly recommended.

Peak design slide camera strap
Seems nicely made can’t for the life me me see why the no slip side it on the opposite side of the strap compared to the quick adjust . Better if it were the other way around . Ima not concerned that the release for the Adjustment is metal . This will I say day scratch the camera body or where ever it touches hmmm I’ll have to remove the strap to store

Just do it
If you’re having any doubts on whether to get one don’t just do it. The quality is amazing and I have 0 regrets. It’s comfortable and as soon as you attach your camera you can instantly notice the difference from the usual supplied strap. The only thing I will say is detach the strap before you pop it away.
