I’ve primarily been field-testing my Peak Design digital camera straps for round a decade. I’ve taken all of them world wide, from far beneath zero temperatures photographing the northern lights to the recent and humid jungles of Uganda on gorilla trekking and birdwatching journeys.

My Peak Design Slide digital camera straps have been rained on, snowed on, lined in mud, stuffed in a digital camera bag, and usually been by the wringer.

One has even been chewed on by a fox (extra on that later!).

In spite of everything that, I assumed it was about time I put collectively a assessment of the Peak Design digital camera straps, based mostly on my expertise truly utilizing it.

By the top of this assessment, it is best to have a good suggestion of whether or not or not this strap system is an efficient choice in your digital camera setup, in addition to which particular mannequin could be best for you. Let’s begin with a fast introduction to Peak Design.

What’s so particular about Peak Design digital camera straps?

Peak Design began when its founder, Peter Dering, was on the lookout for a extra comfy digital camera strap system after a protracted journey again in 2010. The corporate’s first merchandise had been their revolutionary digital camera clips and straps, and it was these merchandise that originally made them fashionable amongst photographers.

The standout options of their straps, which I’ll cowl in additional depth, are their consolation, sturdiness, attachment system, supplies and guarantee.

Peak Design now make a lot of totally different merchandise and I feel get plenty of buzz for his or her luggage. I do personal a number of different Peak Design merchandise. For instance, I at the moment have a Peak Design digital camera backpack, some digital camera packing cubes, and a Peak Design journey tripod.

Whereas I’ve favored lots of their different merchandise I’ve tried, I feel that their digital camera strap system stays their hero merchandise for a lot of photographers equivalent to myself.

I first purchased a Peak Design Slide strap again in 2015 and have by no means used one other digital camera strap system since. I now personal three of their Slide straps in addition to a Clutch strap, and proceed to suggest them to others based mostly on my expertise.

So, on this assessment I’m going to give attention to the Peak Design digital camera straps and go over the assorted straps accessible and share my private assessment and experiences with them.

 

Peak Design Digicam Strap Selections

Peak Design make quite a lot of straps, with the primary variations being the scale of the strap (width, weight and size), in addition to how the strap is designed to be worn.

These variations make the assorted strap fashions appropriate for various functions, with some straps being extra suited to bigger digital camera fashions and others suiting extra compact digital camera fashions for instance.

Some straps are additionally nicely suited to different functions past being as digital camera strap, equivalent to for binoculars or as a strap in your tripod or digital camera bag.

Some Peak Design digital camera straps are designed as a full physique strap to be worn over a shoulder, across the neck, or as a sling, while different straps are designed as wrist or hand straps.

The principle digital camera straps that Peak Design supply are as follows.

 

Peak Design Slide Strap

That is the primary strap that I exploit for my cameras, I at the moment personal three of those straps. They’ve had slight tweaks over time however the primary design is identical.

The strap is designed so you may put on it in 3 ways, as a neck strap, a shoulder strap and a sling strap. My private favourite is sporting it as a sling strap.

The strap is made out of a powerful nylon webbing materials, which is truthfully fairly like a seatbelt strap in texture and really feel. Nearly all of the strap is clean and slides simply.

The realm which sits round your neck or shoulder (relying on the way you put on it) is padded internally for consolation. It additionally has a gripped floor on one facet to forestall the strap from sliding round.

The strap is adjustable, with a fast launch deal with that permits you to rapidly and simply regulate how lengthy the strap is. The utmost size is 57″ (145cm) and the minimal size is 39″ (99cm).

The strap comes with an anchor mount, 4 anchor connectors, a hex wrench and a microfiber pouch. It may well deal with gear as much as 200lbs.

That is the strap I might usually suggest for carrying a bigger setup equivalent to an even bigger mirrorless or DSLR digital camera in addition to bigger telephoto lenses. It’s additionally a sensible choice when you simply desire a wider strap as the burden is distributed extra evenly.

See extra in regards to the Peak Design Slide strap right here.

 

Peak Design Slide Lite Strap

The Slide Lite is truthfully similar to the Slide, it’s only a bit thinner. Nonetheless, it may deal with the identical weight load and has the identical options.

So you continue to get the anchor level system, comfy clean nylon webbing with padding and a grippy facet, and adjustability. You additionally get all the identical merchandise within the field.

Nonetheless, the strap is 1.3″ extensive (32mm) in comparison with the 1.8″ (45mm) of the unique Slide. So when you really feel the Slide is a bit chunky in your tastes, then the Slide Lite could be for you. It nonetheless has the identical most size of 57″ (145cm) and minimal size of 39″ (99cm).

It may well additionally help the identical weight, however I’d suggest it for barely smaller mirrorless cameras, bridge cameras, and binoculars fairly than the biggest of gadgets.

This isn’t as a result of it may’t take the burden, however fairly is extra to do with consolation over lengthy intervals of sporting the strap.

A barely thinner strap means the burden isn’t distributed over as a lot space, so over time the Slide is more likely to be extra comfy with significantly heavy setups.

Peak Design Leash

Should you’re a minimalist however you continue to need a excessive performing digital camera strap, then the Peak Design Leash is probably going the strap for you.

That is the thinnest common strap that Peak Design gives. As with the Slide and Slide Gentle, it may be configured as a sling, neck or shoulder strap. You additionally get the padded webbing part with a grippy facet in addition to the anchor hyperlink system.

The principle distinction is that the strap is just 0.75″(19mm) extensive. The max size of 57″ is identical, however you may truly make Leash shorter, all the way down to 32.6″ (83cm).

Leash is an efficient choice if you’d like a very minimalist digital camera strap. As with Slide Lite, I’d suggest it for smaller digital camera setups, particularly when you plan to hold them round for a protracted time frame.

See extra in regards to the Peak Design Leash strap right here.

 

Peak Design Cuff Wrist Strap

Not everybody needs a protracted digital camera strap that goes round their entire physique, and in case you are a type of folks, Peak Design has you lined with a variety of choices. The primary of those is Cuff.

Cuff is a wrist strap which, because the title suggests, enables you to put your digital camera on a strap which you safe round your wrist. And I do imply safe, as there’s an adjustable locking slider which helps you to cinch Cuff round your wrist so it may’t slip off over your hand.

In fact, you don’t have to try this, but it surely’s in all probability a good suggestion when you do.

When it comes to the strap itself, it’s made from the identical nylon webbing as Peak Design’s different straps. There’s no grip however there’s a spotlight space which works round your wrist, which is on the market in both leather-based or a fabric referred to as Hypalon which is vegan. Width sensible it’s the identical as Leash, at 0.75″ (19mm).

The strap additionally has a magnetic clasp, which cleverly enables you to put on it as a bracelet when not in use as a digital camera wrist strap, which is fairly neat.

When it comes to what it may carry, as a result of it makes use of the identical materials and anchor hyperlink system as the opposite straps, it may deal with as much as 200lbs (90kg) of substances as nicely.

So, when you don’t wish to put on an enormous strap however nonetheless wish to hold your gear protected when it’s in your arms, Cuff is a superb choice.

I’d say it’s higher for people who are inclined to put a digital camera away in a bag and take it out once more frequently fairly than sporting a digital camera over their physique on a regular basis.

See extra in regards to the Peak Design Cuff strap right here.

 

Peak Design Clutch Strap

Clutch is Peak Design’s hand strap. It’s mainly designed to sit down on the facet of your digital camera and goes round your hand if you find yourself gripping your digital camera.

This provides you extra peace of thoughts when holding your digital camera, particularly in case you are utilizing a heavier digital camera and not using a strap round you.

Clutch makes use of the identical anchor hyperlink design at one finish as their different straps, which attaches to the digital camera’s base utilizing the included tripod appropriate base plate.

I’ve had my Clutch for a similar period of time as I’ve had my Slide straps. I’ll admit that it took a little bit of time to regulate to utilizing it on my digital camera as initially my hand wasn’t used to having a strap across the outdoors of it when holding my digital camera. Nonetheless, I rapidly obtained used to it, after which I discovered utilizing a digital camera physique with out it felt odd!

I’ve truly had two variations of Clutch. The primary model I had for a very long time, however the strap the place it hooked up to the digital camera wore by from friction over time.

I contacted Peak Design and so they despatched me the newer model which changed the model I purchased. This includes a totally different sort of fabric on the level mine failed which I’m happy to report has not suffered from this problem.

Total, I might say in case you are on the lookout for a hand strap for a bigger digital camera, positively take into account Clutch. It’s a bit massive for smaller cameras, however clearly Peak Design has an answer for that problem within the type of the following product on this record!

See extra in regards to the Peak Design Clutch strap right here.

 

Peak Design Micro Clutch

Micro Clutch is mainly a smaller model of the Clutch strap. It’s designed particularly for smaller mirrorless digital camera methods, with the thought being that as a substitute of placing your entire hand in it, you solely use it with between two and 4 fingers.

This ends in a small and unobtrusive strap that also provides you the safety of a hand strap.

This one doesn’t truly include the anchor hyperlink system, nonetheless the bottom plate does have loop attachment factors so you need to use the provided base plate with different Peak Design straps if you wish to combine and match.

Total, Micro Clutch is a good suggestion if you’d like a very small strap for a smaller mirrorless digital camera. It’s not appropriate for bigger cameras, however helpfully Peak Design has a digital camera compatibility information for micro clutch which you’ll be able to see right here.

You’ll be able to see extra in regards to the Peak Design Micro Clutch strap right here.

 

Peak Design Strap Options

As you may see, there are a variety of Peak Design straps to select from. Now I’m going to undergo the important thing options of the straps.

 

Anchor Hyperlink System

The anchor hyperlink system is, for my part, what makes the Peak Design straps so distinctive and versatile.

The anchor hyperlink is the best way that almost all of Peak Designs straps connect to your digital camera, binoculars, bag, or no matter else you wish to carry. After getting used it along with your gear it’s truthfully onerous to think about utilizing another system.

The anchor hyperlink is a fast launch strap system which is made up of two elements.

The primary half is the fast connector which is hooked up to the strap. Peak Designs straps all include the fast connector already hooked up, however you can too purchase them to connect to any present digital camera strap you personal.

The second a part of the system is the anchor connector. It is a small spherical tab with a nylon loop. These are designed to simply connect to a variety of merchandise, together with cameras, luggage, and the Peak Design fast launch tripod plate, which is how I connect them to my cameras.

Regardless of their diminutive dimension, the anchor system is rated to help 200lbs (90kg) of weight, which must be greater than sufficient for even the heaviest digital camera setup. I’ve used mine for years and by no means had a failure.

 

Clean Nylon Webbing

Most of Peak Design’s straps are constructed from a powerful nylon webbing, which is analogous in texture and really feel to a seatbelt strap. Seatbelt straps are clearly extremely robust, given their meant function, and Peak Design straps are additionally extremely robust.

What I actually like about them is that they don’t appear to lose structural integrity when you occur to break them barely.

For example, I used to be capturing at sundown in cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland one night, and a curious fox came to visit to see what I used to be as much as.

I put one in all my cameras down on the bottom and began taking footage of the fox, at which level he determined he wished to steal my digital camera in case it was edible. He did this by grabbing the Peak Design strap in his enamel and dragging my digital camera away.

Clearly, I ended him, however not earlier than he’d put some good sharp enamel holes in my strap!

I’ve continued to personal and use that strap for years for the reason that fox incident, and the outlet hasn’t impacted efficiency or gotten any larger. It’s only a neat reminder of a cool encounter I had as soon as!

Now, clearly I wouldn’t encourage anybody to break their strap to see the way it performs. However my expertise has proven that the straps proceed to carry out nicely even after prolonged use, and a few fairly uncommon harm!

The webbing on many of the straps even have a really grippy part which stops the straps from sliding round in your physique as you progress round.

 

Lifetime Guarantee

Peak Design gives a lifetime guarantee for his or her merchandise towards manufacturing defects, and failures or breakages that render half or your entire product to turn out to be non-functional.

This doesn’t cowl beauty blemishes, scratches, stains, or put on & tear. Nor does it cowl failures or breakages on account of misuse, neglect, or intentional harm.

In my case, I’m unsure the fox encounter can be lined, though provided that the strap works nice, that’s not been a problem.

I’ve had two events to make use of the lifetime guarantee, and in each circumstances Peak Design honored it. The primary was to interchange my Clutch which wore by, and as I mentioned, that they had already recognized and addressed this drawback with the newer model. You’ll be able to see the damage within the picture beneath.

The opposite problem I had was with a restricted version crimson coloured model of the Peak Design Slide.

This one had a unique sort of grip materials to different variations I’ve owned, which was a form of rubber compound.

This labored nice till I took it trekking within the Ugandan jungle on the lookout for gorillas. Sadly, a mixture of warmth and humidity, coupled with plenty of motion, prompted the rubber to primarily soften throughout my shirt.

The strap grew to become a sticky mess (though it clearly nonetheless labored high-quality as a strap). You’ll be able to see how this ended up within the picture beneath.

I contacted Peak Design about this, and so they dispatched a substitute strap to me freed from cost. Additionally they let me know that that they had since modified the fabric used for the grip space, so this drawback wouldn’t occur once more.

I’ve been utilizing the substitute strap for a few years now and I can affirm it has held up nicely with no meltdowns but, and the grip materials is certainly completely totally different.

 

Adjustability

Clearly, everyone seems to be constructed in a different way, so having a one dimension suits all strap isn’t going to work for everybody.

Peak Design’s straps might be adjusted. The precise mechanism and vary of adjustment varies barely relying on the strap mannequin, however the primary factor is that they are often adjusted to go well with the necessities of the person person.

 

Strap Colours

Peak Design supply their straps in quite a lot of colours. Colours differ relying on the product.

Within the case of Slide for instance, you at the moment have a selection of traditional black, sage inexperienced, midnight blue, ash gray, and coyote brown. Additionally they sometimes do particular version straps of various colours.

Relying on the kind of images you do, you may desire a unique strap coloration.

For instance, wildlife photographers will in all probability just like the coyote brown coloration because it blends in properly with camo type and pure colours. Black is a good coloration that work nice for people who simply need one thing that can go together with every little thing and matches most digital camera our bodies.

 

Peak Design Digicam Strap Assessment

I’ll now go into some extra element concerning my private expertise utilizing the Peak Design digital camera straps, together with what I like, and areas I really feel might be improved.

 

What I Like About Peak Design Straps

The factor I really like most about my Peak Design straps is the anchor hyperlink system. I feel it’s actually intelligent, and it makes attaching and eradicating straps tremendous simple.

Let me clarify why I prefer it a lot for my private setup.

The best way Jess and I usually put on our Peak Design straps is crossbody, like a sling. The strap attaches to the underside of the digital camera, the place the tripod thread gap is.

It is a pretty widespread design function for sling straps, the place the digital camera is inverted round your midsection space.

I discover this to be a snug technique to put on a digital camera for a protracted time frame, actually far more comfy and sensible than having it bouncing round on a neck strap.

The issue with many sling type digital camera straps that use the digital camera’s tripod mount level is that they require you to place an attachment into the digital camera’s tripod mount gap to connect the strap to.

This implies you may’t connect it to a tripod with out totally eradicating the strap system.

The factor is, I all the time have a fast launch tripod plate hooked up to my digital camera our bodies and telephoto lens collars. I exploit a tripod quite a bit (see my the explanation why you want a tripod right here for why), and for ease of use I solely use tripods which have a fast launch plate system.

Which means I connect a particular tripod plate to the bottom of the digital camera, which implies I can connect my digital camera to a tripod very simply with out having to screw or unscrew issues.

So you may see the conundrum. I need a strap system I can go away on on a regular basis, that makes use of the tripod mount level on my digital camera, but additionally lets me use a fast launch tripod plate system.

Fortunately, the Peak Design system does simply that. By utilizing the tripod appropriate Peak Design mounting plate on my digital camera, I can connect my digital camera to any Arca appropriate tripod head (Manfrotto appropriate plates are additionally accessible) with out having to take away the strap system. It’s seamless and simple to make use of.

The pliability and ease of use of the fast launch system can be nice. For instance, I even have a pair of enormous telephoto lenses, the place I desire to connect the strap to the tripod collar fairly than the physique of the digital camera, as it’s extra balanced that approach once I carry the digital camera.

With the fast launch anchor system, I simply must have anchor connectors on the lenses tripod collar.

Once I swap lenses from a large angle to a telephoto, I can rapidly transfer my Peak Design strap from the digital camera physique anchor connectors to the telephoto anchor connectors. I may even use a seperate strap, and simply carry the telephoto lens over my different shoulder if I would like.

In fact, the flexibleness continues. You’ll be able to have anchor factors on the digital camera’s prime strap connector hooks if you’d like. Just about each digital camera on the market has normal strap connecting factors on the higher physique of the digital camera the place the usual strap that comes with the digital camera attaches.

So when you put anchor connections right here, you may go from carrying your digital camera sling type, to carrying it the extra conventional approach round your neck, or over your shoulder.

Okay, that was quite a bit in regards to the Peak Design anchor system. What else do I really like in regards to the Peak Design straps?

Nicely, clearly they’re actually comfy. The padded part of the strap is comfy, and I’ve actually worn mine for a lot of hours on lengthy hikes with out feeling uncomfortable or prefer it’s rubbing in any approach.

If I’m capturing occasions, or another state of affairs the place I would like easy accessibility to a few lenses on the similar time, I often put on two straps, crossbody. This provides me easy accessibility to a digital camera on every hip, chopping out the time wanted to alter lenses, which might be time the place I’m lacking a shot. That’s additionally extremely comfy.

I additionally like that the straps are simple to regulate, and that they simply work. My expertise with customer support has additionally been nice once I wanted it.

Clearly, no-one needs a product to have points, however for a corporation to rise to the event and remedy the issue as they’ve performed each time, speaks volumes in my guide.

 

How Might Peak Design Enhance their Straps?

What I like about Peak Design is that they’re all the time bettering on their merchandise based mostly on buyer suggestions. For probably the most half, the brand new model of the product replaces the outdated model of the product.

Most upgrades are iterative, so that you don’t essentially must improve when you already personal the product.

Nonetheless, in case you are a brand new person, you might be assured figuring out that you’re getting the very best model of the product so far. With my instance of the strap that melted into my shirt, that drawback was addressed with a brand new materials.

Nonetheless, not all of the adjustments are essentially upgrades.

For example, once I first purchased my Peak Design Slide straps, they got here with a tripod appropriate plate. This meant that I might connect them to my digital camera and use them with a tripod immediately.

Sadly, nearly all of their straps now solely include an anchor mount which isn’t appropriate with tripod fast launch plates. So, you need to purchase that half individually, with each an Arca appropriate plate and a Manfrotto RC2 appropriate plate accessible.

Now, when you occur to purchase a Peak Design journey tripod, this does include the required plate. So perhaps now that Peak Design additionally make tripods, they really feel it makes extra sense to bundle the tripod plate with the tripod. Moreover, as they will’t inform what sort of tripod plate the end-user requires, sending them an incompatible plate isn’t a terrific buyer expertise.

Nonetheless, I favored it once I obtained my Arca appropriate plate once I first purchased my Peak Design Slide strap because it let me use the strap instantly with the tripod I had on the time with no need to fork out for extra equipment. So I wish to see it as an choice maybe at checkout for a small improve value even when it’s not included once more.

One other space that has involved some customers of Peak Design straps is that the adjustment mechanism is a steel loop, and I’ve seen stories that these can scratch a digital camera physique when packed in a bag. Personally, I’ve not had this drawback, however my digital camera our bodies get fairly banged up anyway!

Nonetheless, if this can be a concern, you may wish to pack the strap individually.

Lastly, by way of enhancements, it could be good to see a system for carrying two cameras that doesn’t contain simply having a “X” form of straps throughout my physique. Some digital camera strap methods supply a twin carry system which is extra like a physique harness, and I’d have an interest to see if that’s one thing Peak Design might supply.

That’s simply an thought fairly than a criticism although as I’ve truthfully been comfy sporting the 2 straps crossbody.

Aside from the above, I’ve not obtained a lot else to say in regards to the Peak Design strap system that wants enchancment! Clearly, they’re comparatively costly as straps go, however I do really feel you’re getting a well-made and high quality product that can final a very long time.

 

Peak Design Digicam Strap Assessment Abstract

As I mentioned at first of this assessment, I’ve been utilizing the Peak Design straps for a few years, throughout a number of digital camera our bodies and lenses. In all that point they’ve saved my gear protected, which is the primary function of the strap. I additionally discover them extremely comfy to put on even for lengthy intervals of time.

I feel they provide among the best strap methods available on the market, with straps which can be comfy and safe. Their lifetime guarantee can be one thing they stand by.

Total, I feel the primary determination most individuals must make can be which strap to purchase. I’d say if in case you have a heavier digital camera setup, particularly if going to make use of telephoto lenses, to go for the Peak Design Slide. For smaller cameras and lighter set ups, for my part it’s a call between Slide Lite and Leash.

Then, when you desire a much less obtrusive setup, take into account Cuff. And at last, if you’d like extra safety when gripping your digital camera, have a look at Clutch and Micro Clutch.

Truthfully, I feel whichever product you select you may be pleased with its efficiency, construct high quality, and longevity.
