The perfect camera strap?!
This was the first Peak Design item I purchased, and it was a bit of a gateway into purchasing more! The quality is great, the strap is very versatile and comfortable.I didn't want to buy the regular Slide as I felt it would be too wide, and am very happy with the comfort of the Slide Lite. I've used it as a sling with the camera at my side, and I've used it similar to how you'd use the straps often included with your camera on the neck. Both options are comfortable, but I do prefer the sling approach if I can use it.To my surprise, the sling approach does work even if you're wearing something like a backpack, but I'd recommend putting the camera on first, and the backpack over the top for comfort - depending on your backpack you should still be able to swing the camera around quickly.Peak Design include some nice extras and spares for mounting, so you have plenty of options and flexibility. It's a really quality piece of kit and Peak Design clearly but a lot of thought into their products.

Very expensive (I think) but it does what everyone says it does and I would buy it again.
I bought this to use on photography workshops when using my Nikon Z6. Some people think that's a small, light camera. It's not small and light to me and I wanted a strap that would be comfortable to use while walking around London for 6 hours shooting street photography.First things first, it was comfortable for all that time and it held the camera securely. I didn't feel it swaying about as I always have with the included straps (which I hate). For that reason alone I'm now a convert to this Peak Design strap, despite the cost (you might think it's a fair price, I still think it's ridiculous for a strap).Next, it has a variety of carrying styles. I used it round my neck, simply because of how I was going to be shooting. I might try it with the side sling configuration when I’m on a more leisurely shoot, but I saw one guy using the same strap that way on the workshop I attended and he seemed to have no problem with it. I think as a side sling it was marginally slower to raise the camera, but we're talking fractions of a second.I can't talk about long term wear and tear, because I've only just got this. From all I've read they hold up ok.One one side of the strap, around where you'd have it on your neck, there's a rubberised grip (not too pronounced) and that really does stop the camera/strap combo from slipping. That's always been a problem for me with included cameras straps when I've had them over my shoulder, rather than over my neck. The grip on this strap prevents that so that's a big plus in my eyes.The little eyelet type attachments work very well and snap in and out easily. You can buy extras so if you have several cameras you can use a single strap and share it with all of them as you need to (assuming you only take one camera with you when out shooting). I don't think the extra attachments are super, super cheap, but they're cheaper than a whole strap package so overall you could get some economy there.Would I buy this strap again? Yes, I would, despite moaning about the price. I got the black version since I don't want to call attention to myself when on the streets, but they do have some nice looking versions. That's purely a matter of taste, of course.Would I buy a second strap? Probably not, since I rarely take more than one camera with me when I'm out and about so I can just use this strap on any of them. I just need a few spare attachments. Actually, you can remove them from your camera pretty fast anyway, so moving the whole thing from one camera to another would probably take less than a minute.They do have a broader strap for heavier cameras, but this one is rated for heavier than my Z6 so I don't know if I'd need anything bigger than the Slide Lite. If I ever do need a heavier duty strap, the Peak Design would probably be my first choice.It was nice to fit the strap and forget about it. That's not really something I've ever been able to do with an included strap. They always seem to have something not quite right about them and I really don't like how they emblazon the brand all over them. I don't want to advertise the camera I'm carrying from a distance. There are enough pickpockets around without attracting their attention with a bright yellow Nikon logo!

Excellent strap.
Excellent product. Perhaps a tad expensive, but a quality item. Very well made and designed. Should last years. Check out it being demonstrated on You Tube. Highly recommended.

It's ok
Like how it be swapped between cameras easily dont like that the locking buckles dont lock strap solidly enough and it kind of lengthens by weight of camera and lenses so doesn't hold position where you set it I wouldn't buy another one it's just ok

Game changer. Easily adjustable, non slip on the shoulder is a great addition for certain shoots.

Comfortable and Versatile Camera Strap for Any Setup
“Comfortable and Versatile Camera Strap for Any Setup”The Peak Design Slide Lite is an incredibly comfortable and adjustable camera strap. It’s easy to connect and disconnect from my Canon R8, and the versatility of the strap allows me to quickly switch between my Canon R8 and my old Praktica MTL 5. The box includes four attachment points, two of which are already installed on my Canon and the other two on my film camera. The strap is sturdy and reliable, making it a fantastic option for any photographer. Highly recommend Peak Design straps for their quality and convenience!
