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

Peak Design began when its founder, Peter Dering, was searching for a extra snug digital camera strap system after an extended journey again in 2010.

The corporate’s first merchandise had been their modern digital camera clips and straps, and it was these merchandise that originally made them widespread amongst photographers.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 number of completely different merchandise and I believe get plenty of buzz for his or her luggage. I do personal a number of different Peak Design merchandise. For instance, I presently have a Peak Design digital camera backpack, some digital camera packing cubes, and a Peak Design journey tripod.

I additionally personal all of the Peak Design straps that they’ve made to this point, in addition to the unique Peak Design Seize clip.

Whereas I’ve preferred a lot of their different merchandise I’ve tried, I believe that their digital camera strap system stays their hero merchandise for a lot of photographers similar 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 plenty of their different straps and proceed to suggest them to different photographers primarily based on my expertise with them.

The principle straps Jess and I exploit on a day-to-day foundation are the Slide straps and the Clutch strap. Nevertheless, we’ve expertise with all of the straps they usually all work properly.

On this evaluate I’m going to deal with the Peak Design digital camera straps and go over the varied straps obtainable and share my private evaluate and experiences with them.

Peak Design Digicam Strap Selections

Peak Design make a number 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 varied 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 properly suited to different functions past being as digital camera strap, similar to for binoculars or as a strap to your tripod or digital camera bag.

Peak Design Slide strap on binoculars by Laurence NorahPeak Design Slide strap on binoculars by Laurence Norah

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 Jess and I exploit for our cameras, we presently 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 carrying it as a sling strap.

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

The world 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 aspect to forestall the strap from sliding round.

The strap is adjustable, with a fast launch deal with that allows you to shortly 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 will possibly deal with gear as much as 200lbs.

That is the strap I’d typically suggest for carrying a bigger setup similar to a much bigger mirrorless or DSLR digital camera in addition to bigger telephoto lenses. It’s additionally a sensible choice in case you simply favor a wider strap as the burden is distributed extra evenly.

Peak Design Slide Lite Strap

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

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

Nevertheless, the strap is 1.3″ large (32mm) in comparison with the 1.8″ (45mm) of the unique Slide. So in case you really feel the Slide is a bit chunky to 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 will possibly additionally help the identical weight, however I’d suggest it for barely smaller mirrorless cameras, bridge cameras, and binoculars reasonably than the most important of gadgets.

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

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

We actually just like the Slide Lite although, we expect it appears very fashionable and is a superb various to the Slide in order for you all of the performance in a barely slimmer design.

Peak Design Leash

For those who’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. It consists of the anchor hyperlink system however doesn’t have a grippy part or padded space because the Slide straps do.

There are another variations with Leash in comparison with the Slide straps. First, Leash is simply 0.75″(19mm) large. The max size of 57″ is identical, however you may truly make Leash shorter, right down to 32.6″ (83cm).

Leash additionally comes with a mounting system so you may connect the digital camera both to the tripod plate, or to the aspect or prime mounting factors that many smaller cameras have.

On our Sony RX100 for instance, there are small mounting factors on both aspect of the digital camera physique. The Leash strap comes with the {hardware} to set these mount factors up with anchor hyperlinks.

It truly makes extra sense in my view to mount the Leash strap on the edges of the digital camera like this. The mounting plate for the tripod screw that comes with the Leash is a mini model, besides it’s prone to block your cameras SD / battery slot (it does on our RX100).

In order that form of negates the advantages of the simple entry system if you must take away the anchor plate while you need to change battery or reminiscence card!

I believe Leash is an effective possibility in order for you a extremely minimalist digital camera strap. I’d suggest it for smaller digital camera setups, similar to compact cameras. That is particularly the case in case you plan to hold them round for a chronic time frame.

I wouldn’t suggest Leash for a bigger mirrorless or DSLR digital camera setup as while it may help the burden, the consolation wouldn’t be there.

Peak Design Cuff Wrist Strap

Not everybody desires an extended digital camera strap that goes round their complete physique, and in case you are a type of folks, Peak Design has you coated with plenty of choices. The primary of those is Cuff.

Cuff is a wrist strap which, because the identify 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, nevertheless it’s in all probability a good suggestion in case you do.

By way of the strap itself, it’s fabricated 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 accessible in both leather-based or a cloth known as Hypalon which is vegan. Width smart 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 for if you find yourself out and about.

By way of 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 drugs as properly.

So, in case you don’t prefer to put on an enormous strap however nonetheless need to maintain your gear secure when it’s in your palms, Cuff is a wonderful possibility.

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 reasonably than carrying a digital camera over their physique on a regular basis.

Peak Design Clutch Strap

Clutch is Peak Design’s hand strap. It’s mainly designed to take a seat on the aspect 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 with out 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.

Nevertheless, I shortly received 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 way of from friction over time.

I contacted Peak Design they usually despatched me the newer model which changed the model I purchased. This contains a completely different sort of fabric on the level mine failed which I’m happy to report has not suffered from this subject.

General, I’d say in case you are searching for a hand strap for a bigger digital camera, positively contemplate Clutch. It’s slightly giant for smaller cameras, however clearly Peak Design has an answer for that subject within the type of the following product on this record!

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 an alternative of placing your complete hand in it, you solely use it with between two and 4 fingers.

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

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

General, Micro Clutch is a good suggestion in order for you a extremely small strap to your digital camera. Notice that it’s not appropriate with each digital camera. Helpfully, Peak Design has a digital camera compatibility information for micro clutch which you’ll be able to see right here.

Peak Design Strap Options

As you may see, there are a selection 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, in my view, 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 need to carry. After getting used it along with your gear it’s actually exhausting to think about utilizing every other 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 may also purchase them to connect to any current digital camera strap you personal.

The second a part of the system is the anchor connector. This can be 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 measurement, the anchor system is rated to help 200lbs (90kg) of weight, which ought to 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 comprised of a powerful nylon webbing, which is analogous in texture and really feel to a seatbelt strap. Seatbelt straps are clearly extremely robust, given their supposed goal, and Peak Design straps are additionally extremely robust.

What I actually like about them is that they don’t appear to lose structural integrity in case 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 visiting 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 tooth and dragging my digital camera away.

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

Fox stealing camera by_Fox stealing camera by_

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 greater. 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 properly even after prolonged use, and a few reasonably uncommon injury!

The webbing on a lot 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 in opposition to manufacturing defects, and failures or breakages that render half or all your product to grow to be non-functional.

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

In my case, I’m unsure the fox encounter can be coated, 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 way of, and as I mentioned, that they had already recognized and addressed this downside with the newer model. You may see the damage within the picture under.

Worn out Peak Design ClutchWorn out Peak Design Clutch

The opposite subject I had was with a restricted version purple 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 searching for gorillas. Sadly, a mix of warmth and humidity, coupled with plenty of motion, brought on the rubber to basically soften throughout my shirt.

The strap turned a sticky mess (though it clearly nonetheless labored positive as a strap). You may see how this ended up within the picture under.

Strap broken as a result of warmth, changed with newer mannequin that has resolved this subject underneath lifetime guarantee

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

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

 

Adjustability

Clearly, everyone seems to be constructed in another way, so having a one measurement matches all strap isn’t going to work for everybody.

Peak Design’s straps could 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 a wide range of colours. Colours range relying on the product.

Within the case of Slide for instance, you presently have a selection of basic black, sage inexperienced, midnight blue, ash gray, and coyote brown. In addition they sometimes do particular version straps of various colours.

Relying on the kind of images you do, you would possibly favor 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 model and pure colours. Black is a superb coloration that work nice for people who simply need one thing that may go together with all the pieces 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 may very well be improved.

 

What I Like About Peak Design Straps

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

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.

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

Peak Design Slide strap Coyote color by Laurence Norah-4Peak Design Slide strap Coyote color by Laurence Norah-4

Peak Design Slide strap Coyote color by Laurence Norah-5Peak Design Slide strap Coyote color by Laurence Norah-5

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

The issue with many sling model 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 so much (see my explanation why you want a tripod right here for why), and for ease of use I completely 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 suggests 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 depart 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. Through the use of 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 obtainable) with out having to take away the strap system. It’s seamless and simple to make use of.

Peak Design Straps by Laurence Norah-5Peak Design Straps by Laurence Norah-5

Peak Design Straps by Laurence Norah-5Peak Design Straps by Laurence Norah-5

The flexibleness and ease of use of the fast launch system can also be nice. For instance, I even have a pair of huge telephoto lenses, the place I favor to connect the strap to the tripod collar reasonably than the physique of the digital camera, as it’s extra balanced that means once I carry the digital camera.

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

Once I swap lenses from a large angle to a telephoto, I can shortly 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 need.

In fact, the pliability continues. You may have anchor factors on the digital camera’s prime strap connector hooks in order for you. Just about each digital camera on the market has commonplace strap connecting factors on the higher physique of the digital camera the place the usual strap that comes with the digital camera attaches.

So in case you put anchor connections right here, you may go from carrying your digital camera sling model, to carrying it the extra conventional means round your neck, or over your shoulder.

Okay, that was so much concerning the Peak Design anchor system. What else do I like concerning the Peak Design straps?

Properly, clearly they’re actually snug. The padded part of the strap is snug, 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 means.

If I’m capturing occasions, or every other scenario the place I need 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, slicing out the time wanted to alter lenses, which may very well be time the place I’m lacking a shot. That’s additionally extremely snug.

Peak Design straps crossbody by Laurence NorahPeak Design straps crossbody by Laurence Norah

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

Clearly, no-one desires a product to have points, however for a corporation to rise to the event and clear up the issue as they’ve finished 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 primarily based on buyer suggestions. For probably the most half, the brand new model of the product replaces the previous model of the product.

Most upgrades are iterative, so that you don’t essentially have to improve in case you already personal the product.

Nevertheless, in case you are a brand new person, you could be assured figuring out that you’re getting the perfect model of the product to this point. With my instance of the strap that melted into my shirt, that downside was addressed with a brand new materials.

Nevertheless, 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 may 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 must purchase that half individually, with each an Arca appropriate plate and a Manfrotto RC2 appropriate plate obtainable.

Now, in case 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 an ideal buyer expertise.

Nonetheless, I preferred it once I received 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 while not having to fork out for extra equipment. So I want to see it as an possibility 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 experiences that these can scratch a digital camera physique when packed in a bag. Personally, I’ve not had this downside, however my digital camera our bodies get fairly banged up anyway!

Nevertheless, if this can be a concern, you would possibly need 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 may supply.

That’s simply an thought reasonably than a criticism although as I’ve actually been snug carrying the 2 straps crossbody.

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

Find out how to Select the Finest Sized Digicam Strap for You and Your Digicam

You might be questioning which Peak Design digital camera strap to purchase to your digital camera. This determination will largely come right down to the scale and weight of your digital camera setup.

I’d say when you’ve got a heavy digital camera setup, particularly if you’re going to use telephoto lenses, to go for the Peak Design Slide.

For many digital camera setups besides the heaviest, I’d say the Slide Lite can be my advisable possibility. It has all of the options of the Slide in a barely narrower, extra light-weight bundle. This makes it simpler to pack and carry. That is additionally an ideal possibility for many binoculars.

For the smallest cameras and really gentle set ups, I’d additionally contemplate the Leash. Simply be aware that the slender strap could be uncomfortable with heavier setups however good for light-weight compact cameras. This strap is simpler to suit into a handbag or smaller bag.

Though I do extremely suggest everybody maintain a neck strap on their cameras for the perfect safety, not everybody loves a strap round their neck or shoulders.

For those who favor a much less obtrusive setup and don’t need a neck strap, contemplate the Cuff wrist strap, which gives safety in a minimal bundle. This may work properly for  lighter mirrorless setups, bridge cameras, motion cameras, and level and shoot cameras.

Lastly, in order for you extra safety and stability when gripping your digital camera, you could contemplate additionally getting a hand strap such because the Clutch or Micro Clutch. I’d say Clutch works for bigger cameras and personally I’d suggest the Micro Clutch for smaller cameras.

Truthfully, I believe whichever product you select you’ll be pleased with its efficiency, construct high quality, and longevity.
