Peak Design SL-BK-3 Slide, Camera Strap, Black

I have tried out a bunch of different straps, cheap and expensive, and this is the one that works for me. The attachment system is fine, I like it - and that is the unique selling point for Peak Design. A strong attachment is absolutely vital but most of the higher end straps have this - unlike many cheaper straps which often skimp on a safe and sturdy way to attach to your gear. But the real reason I love this strap is the extra wide and sturdy strap itself. It is made of what looks & feels like a car seatbelt strap. The metal & plastic slider system feels high quality and just works as desired. Even with a lighter lens the extra comfort is noticeable and with a heavy telephoto lens on my DSLR the difference between this and lesser straps is immense. It's not cheap but its comparable to other high quality straps. Recommended for anyone carrying a DSLR if you like comfort.

Great quality product. Like the smooth and grippy option and ease with which the strap position can be reconfigured. Having previously purchased a “lite” version for use on another, lighter camera, I have every confidence this strap will do the job I want.

Expensive but quality item. I saw this as an alternative to the version of the Black Rapid strap I have used for years I was a little doubtful but decided to take a chance as I always found the Black Rapid strap would cause the camera / lens to bang about when walking whereas this looked as if it would keep the camera in position better. I have to say it is very good even with a Nikon D4, 24-70mm, 300mm, and 70-200mm f2.8 heavy lens combinations which was a surprise. The strap is easily adjustble and I can get the camera in position ready to shoot or out the way comfortably in the small of my back. It appears to be more comfortable than the Black Rapid and “slides” Ok when in use. Downsides? Turning the strap to use the “grippy” side is a bit of a faff. Getting used to the camera strap connectors and lenses were annoying at first but I really don’t notice them now. The Black Rapid is quicker to connect and remove from the camera and the strap can be left on. That aside I still feel the Slide is the more confortable of the two and prefer to use this now. One last thing I saw a review that said the slide was hard to store in a bag / pocket its not and is much easier than the Black Rapid. Long and short I would recommend.

Been looking to replace the original strap that came with the camera. The Peak Design Slide strap fastenings are so simple & easy to fix to the camera & it’s going nowhere. Fantastic to have adjustment on the strap i.e. I can wear it around my neck normally or slide one strap down & wear the camera across my body so simply. Great product & a good price from Amazon. It was £10 less than my local camera store.

So, decided to come back to review this after more than a year of DAILY use and what was observed during this time. So, the anchors are still on the first set, tied to a Canon 5D Mark 4 (I have two for work) Bought these straps as they were recommended. Fitting was easy, adjusting was simple and all way well. They done everything I asked of them, BUT ….. …. They do not stay on the shoulders. I work in an editorial environment. Rain, hail, summer, snow so they’ve seen all the conditions. Fleece jackets, waterproof jackets, t-shirts you will continually be putting them back onto your shoulders if that’s how you carry because the rubber ribs “grips” are not good. There is virtually no grip a few months in, and it’s a royal pain when you’re needing to walk about everywhere for 8 hours a day with two camera bodies. This is my only gripe and I do not think for professional use, these are the straps to buy. I’ve got the three sizes and find that the leash is best as there is zero grip anyway, I just wish they thought more about that for professional users.

This is my second time to purchase a Slide strap. My old one is still in excellent condition, I got another for my second camera. This has to be the best strap I've ever owned. It's comfortable and great for shooting events where I'm carrying my gear around a lot but need to look smart and be quickly ready to shoot. The anchor points make it quick and easy to get rid of the strap when not needed or change the configuration if I need to. The quick length adjustment is also an excellent feature as I find I need to change lengths quite often depending on the situation, carrying two cameras or putting on a coat to go shoot outside and then coat off again to inside. What bothers me on the new version of the strap is that they no longer include an Arca Swiss plate like they did before. The new little plate is useless for me. First of all it can only be fastened on with an Allen key (included) which is something that I'll have forgotten, lost or be unable to find when I'm quickly trying to get the thing off. Second, for someone like me who is often putting my rig on a monopod or tripod at events I don't have time to take this stupid thing off and on (especially with an Allen key) to put an Arca Swiss plate on. So my Slide plate has gone into a drawer never to be seen again and replaced with an Arca Swiss plate. Another gripe is that it you want a Capture Arca Swiss compatible plate like before you have to buy it separately now and it's not cheap. Not only that the new one is not compatible with my old Capture version 2. Did they do this to force me to upgrade to the expensive Capture version 3? You'll also need to keep a close eye on your anchor points. Check them regularly for signs of wear, if one broke it could be an expensive disaster. They do last a reasonable length of time and aren't too expensive to replace. So it's an expensive strap and they've removed a useful component but I still think it's the best strap out there. I can't praise it enough really.

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。

Delivery was prompt and well packed. I like the peak design slide. Build quality is excellent and it is versatile. Love the small clip and how I am able to sling my camera across shoulder.

Peak design slide is a high end camera sling strap with easy to attach and deatach anchors with a life time warranty. Also an under camera attachment equipment is provided to enable attaching the sling in three different ways with the camera. Totally worth the price. Spare anchors are also provided.

Great sling/strap for my camera, quick release clamps make for easy adjustment. Good product.

J'ai d'abord acheté une sangle peak design version "light"...très bonne sangle mais trop étroit. Je me suis décidé pour cette sangle beaucoup plus large, tellement je suis content du système peak design, et à la réception du colis...pas déçu ! - la sangle est (cette fois) bien large et très solide - le système de changement rapide de la taille de la sangle est top, il suffit de basculer le levier sur les attaches pour les desserrer et régler la longueur, facile et rapide (le système manque un petit peu de force de serrage) - la sangle est rigidité au passage du coup (sensation de plastique souple) et possède un système anti dérapant sur la face en contact avec vous (des plots type silicone) - et évidemment on a toujours le système d'attache rapide peak design, facile, pratique solide, décrochable/accrochable à une main - le confort est là et pour les charges lourdes c'est un vrai plus Cette sangle n'a pas réellement de défauts, elle n'est peut être pas parfaite, il y a peut être mieux, mais c'est à mon avis une valeur sure ! Je conseille ! Si ce commentaire vous a aidé, n'oubliez pas de cliquer sur "utile", merci.
